I’m trying to find the correct part number to replace the 2500 HD emblems on the doors and the Silverado emblem on the tailgate. The Chevy site has numerous parts and the prices vary. Does anyone know the difference in these 2? They both look to include the door and tailgate emblems, but the prices are significantly different. What am I missing?

Have you checked out Amazon or other online places? I bought a full set of black plastic emblems for my 1500 and got two Z71 badges plus the SILVERADO and RST badges for the tailgate for about $75. They are the proper size as well. I see emblems there that you could buy to make up a "complete set" for under $50 (I don't know if they're the right size).

 

From what you linked to, it actually looks like the more expensive set DOESN'T include the LT for the tailgate... the biggest difference you're likely to find with the aftermarket emblems is that they won't use the same adhesive to stick on. It's a thinner tape than what they come with from the factory. Worst case, you could replace it with something else if you needed to.

Yeah I noticed one of them included the LT badge as well, but with that one being cheaper it seemed really odd. 
 

Thanks for the tips on looking elsewhere.

It might take you a little bit of searching to find a solid kit or combination of emblems, but a decent set should look good and save you a bit of money. The ones I bought for my truck look good and match the OEM size. I had to be fairly "purposeful" with the process I followed to install them, though. I taped everything off around the original emblems before I took them off so I had the positioning pretty much perfect and spent a LOT of time and effort getting all of the adhesive off from the factory emblems. I think I spent 3-4 hours in total on my truck with the majority of that time being spent on the Z71 badges on the fenders due to how much adhesive is used on them from the factory.

 

Hope your search and install efforts turn out well!

Dark Essentials is made up of 3 different part packages.

 

- Black Bowtie(s)

 

- Black "CHEVROLET" Tailgate Lettering 

 

- Black door and tailgate emblems (1500,2500,3500 and then trim level)

 

For 2500HD Door/Tailgate:

 

WT and High Country use kit 84806915.

 

Custom use 84806909.

 

LT use 84912382.

 

LTZ use 84402407

 

Those kits contain the front door "2500HD" emblems, the tailgate "SILVERADO" emblem and on Custom, LT and LTZ the trim level.  Some of the badges are sold separately so you wouldn't need to buy the whole kit unless you needed the whole kit to change all the badges.  

 

The "SILVERADO" badge for the tailgate on its own is 85631647.

 

WT does not have a trim level emblem, and High Country uses a "High Country" emblem in black that is sold as a pack of 3 so the two for the front fenders and then the tailgate one.

These kits including the trim level show $90, but the kit that would be used for a work truck (no trim level) is $220. See my links from original post. That’s what makes this so confusing. Why would the part with fewer emblems be more than twice the cost?

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
