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?

      Exhaust Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      You won’t do better than stock exhaust without headers. Just put your favorite muffler on it and it will do the job.

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!
