Here are some pics after debadging, removing the front plate bracket and polishing with my favorite polymer-based product. It took about an hour to remove the badging on both doors and the tailgate. The current trim tape (black, thin) comes off alot easier then what GM was using in 99 (white, thick). No heat necessary, just used fishing line to "cut" the letters off, roll the foam tape off with your finger and clean residue. I cleaned the residue first with simple green which removes alot of it and used goof off to get the few tough spots removed. Cleaned with detail spray and polished.

Nice clean look.

 

I always take off the cr$#py dealer emblem but leave the other ones. I am not going to give them free advertising. :( Plus they always put it in a place where it detracts from the look.

Agreed. I quickly peeled the 3"x4" sticker my dealer put on the tailgate.

 

Nice rig, Lincoln. I thought about debadging my doors, but since I don't have door moldings, it would probably look too plain.

Along those same lines you can tell them that you got rid of your other 3 cams...or that the factory forgot to include them, hahahaha.

And dont forget to mention that you had to have a new tailgate put on after it flew off and slammed into someone else's windshield and killed the person.... I wonder it Toyota had had to deal with that?

dude you could sell all your badges on ebay! Might pay for a couple of gallons of gas.

 

Nice truck Brian. Had the same thing. She was good to me, 100K with one trip to the dealer for a speed sensor, ohhh and a lot of front rotors.

I'd like the look without mouldings but I need them since I don't have great parking at my office. I would like mouldings without the chrome strip but I haven't looked into the cost of getting the mouldings for a regular Sierra Crew Cab yet.

      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.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."
