hi,

 

im new here, so hello everyone. i just got a 95 silverado, it looks new except the tailgate emblem. its a big stainless looking thing that runs the width of the tailgate. i want to take it off and put on a bow tie like the new trucks. anyone have a thoughts, or ideas what might look even better. i was thinking maybe a 'CHEVROLET' decal or maybe airbrushed on, but the rest of the truck is stock looking so i dont think the airbrushing would look right.

 

thanks

Take it off and just leave it plain, its just taped on...maybe put the new silverado letters on the lower.

 

Heres what it looks like.

I agree that it would look mucho better gone. The only problem I see is that as long as it has been on there, you would probably have to repaint the gate.

Keep it there, I think trucks with all the badging removed look to plain looking.

Well there ya go!

 

96vette and I offer differing opinions.

 

I think he may just be right simply because you 'll likely mess up the paint on a truck that old if you start removing stuff. Have you tried a good cleaner wax on the emblem to bring it back?

LOL i just got a new (new to me) tailgate

and that flimsy piece of aluminum on the back of the tailgate costs $299.99 out of LMC.

i ripped mine off and im ordering a Chevyrolet silverado emblem that is found on a 98 silverado.

but now the big emblem is a great idea.

 

does somebody make a way to lock the tailgate on so it cant be stolen?

Depending on what color your truck is the paint is likely faded on a 95 truck. So if you remove it then the paint will be different shades.

My '95 has that aluminum billboard on it too. The clearcoat on it is stripped off in places. Looks like hammered dog$h!t. I like the late '90s look better myself, but my old truck also looks pretty tired in every other way. I wish that tailgate emblem was the only thing standing in the way of perfection. :D

I'm about over my cold and am starting to develop a sense of humor again. I really didn't realize how much strength that required.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      2024 l8t . Ac has never felt really cold even new. But lately it seems a little warmer. When it gets in the upper 80s and a little more humid it just does not keep up. And sometimes at idle it gets warm. My wife's 2008 envoy is better. My son's 2016 is colder. I have an apointment for a third try Monday the 29th at a third dealer to try and get cold ac before my warranty is out. The first two told me something about so many degrees under ambient temp blah blah blah seemed like they didn't want to mess with me. This was set at low. Max air fan speed high. 87 degrees and a little humid.   .

      OCI, not when but why?

      It isn’t all that bad in the world with purchasing power versus quality. My first car had just basic equipment. My oil choice was conventional oil. The life expectancy was around 100K miles. During that time you could expect to change all the accessories. Today with inflation you can buy the equivalent. It comes fully loaded with 4 doors. The life expectancy passes 100K miles replacing no accessories. If reaching that milestone is your goal you simply follow the recommended service intervals. If you want more miles simply do more maintenance. When in doubt you can check the internet or YouTube for information. The selling of any product hasn’t changed since the beginning of time. The power of the buyer has. The price of the product hasn’t changed much with inflation. The buying public wants more. Competition and the buying public has put the sellers in a box. The greed is on both sides. You can still get more for less. You just have to do with less. That used to be popular. The buying public has changed . It’s the sellers that are trying to keep up. As Grumpy tries to inform the readers in this case with maintenance. If you want more. More effort is required. That information wasn’t available this easily just a few years ago. I believe the public has more power. Getting information is easier.

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      By SFC Retired · Posted

      Gentlemen, I'm new to this forum. My question is, I thought I have read somewhere that the rear wheel liners for 2024- 2026 GMC Sierra HD3500 DRW can/will fit the 2023. I can't seem to find that information again and wondering if anybody has any knowledge if these will work or not with the 2023? Part# is 84892542. Thank you for any information. The GMC parts counter wasn't able to give my any definitive answer?

      Spacers aren’t safe anyway, so you’re better off just buying something else.

      OEM Trailer Hitch Receiver - Impact tightened by shop

      By carkhz316 · Posted

      Its because they have thread locking compound on them. I would bet money that they are actually reusable and not a literal TTY bolt because GM and most other OEMs don't trust techs and the end-user to apply thread locker properly in the same way they don't trust anyone to solder properly (and instead instructing crimps everywhere). Torque To Angle =/ Torque To Yield.   If you think dealerships or any technician replaces every 'discard' bolt in every procedure, I have a bridge to sell you.
