Does anyone know where the Bowtie Emblem came from? I just found out today, after years of being a Chevy guy. Actually, I never really thought about it until a co worker asked me. Here's the link to find out supposedly how it got started. http://www.chevrolet.com/history/early/index.htm Scroll down to the year 1914.

I knew that the idea came from some wallpaper, I just didn't know it was that long ago.

That's pretty much exactly the way I was told about it's birth,along with the Louis Chevrolet story.

Pretty interesting stuff.

  installed a set of OEM mirrors that had puddles and power folding with the goal of adding the options to a switch panel to control since the truck did not come with the features. after hooking everything up my head lights don not come on and interior lights are flashing along with hyper flash signal lights. I took the mirrors off and installed the factory ones and no fix. Disconnected battery and tried to rest the BCM with no luck. Along with the interlock solenoid clicking when I press the brake to put in gear. Truck runs and drives fine.

  This clamp style works the best. The wrap around design would be tough the use! https://suspensionmaxx.com/product/2011-super-t-maxx-torsion-bar-unloading-installation-tool/ I rented a similar one from the local parts location (Canadian Tire) and in the end it doesn't cost anything because you return it and get a full refund, sort of like a tool exchange program. The tires are Falken AT4W's I got the dealer to put them on the truck when we bought it. The truck had ~25k miles on it and the Michelins were worn and looked tiny on the truck. Here is a pic of it at the dealership just before we bought it.
