So like so other members I see that my side mouldings are starting to fade. I am pondering taking them off all together, so the question is a are they just glued on or will I leave big holes if I pull them off. Any help is appreciated!

Yes there double sided taped on. It leaves a lot of tape behind. I help a friend remove and put new trim on. To remove the tape I would get some gas to remove it and put some wax to clean it up.

It's my understanding that they are attached with an adhesive, much like the badging.

 

I debadged my 08 Silverado recently and I really want to get the body moldings off also. Mine are slightly faded and the paint is even starting to flake off one of them. I've been procrastinating, but I'm going to have a dealership remove them all together.

 

My buddy had the fading problem with his 07 Silverado and his dealership offered to remove them completely or replace them. I still don't know why he had them replaced, he's going to have the same problem next year.

Those big doors look horrible with no moldings. There just too big and flat looking. I went thru the same issues and just had them replaced.

      Radio Update

      Mine worked fine until I got an update also. After that sometimes it would not connect and Id have to turn CarPlay off and then back on for it to try to connect again. I think I have had two additional updates since this started and it has gotten better but still not perfect.

      Cab retaining water, common problem areas?

      By nitrozamboni · Posted

      It’s probably water in the doors. Mine had tape over the drain holes! Poked them open and that took care of it. Now I’m waiting for the rust to come through!🤬

      2021 suburban RST - acting up/lights flickering

      By 520Zilla · Posted

      Hi all,   I just bought a 2021 suburban RST with 88,000 miles on it and everything has been good but I’ve been noticing within the last month or so that there are small electrical things going on and I know what the AGM batteries and all the electric electrical in these big trucks you need to have a constant flow with good voltage   That being said, I bought a new battery thinking that that might have something to do with it but today I went to get in and start it and it said no key found when I had the key right in my pocket   It also proceeded to flash the lights inside and outside for over 30 minutes as I went to disconnect the battery as soon as I touch the negative terminal, I heard the relay reset and everything come back up. I got in the truck and started it no problem.   Anyone else have this happen to them? I’m starting to think it’s the KARR system that the dealer installed short circuit stuff.

      “Service Emission System” & “175 miles until “65 MPH Max Speed”

      By ManyCamaroz · Posted

      I don't drive this truck on a regular basis since I have a new company truck with no out of pocket fuel or maintenance cost. Yesterday I got it out to run some errands and got the title message on my DCI. A quick Google search suggested to first clean the Map Sensor. I pulled it out and it was sooty so cleaned it up and reinstalled it. Issue not resolved. My OBDII is a couple years old so didn't see any codes. Today I took it to a friend at AutoZone to get him to check it with his reader. It had the following codes: P20C3 P02BB P221F Stating the most likely solution is to replace diesel emission fluid (DEF) tank assembly.   So, I guess a trip to the dealer is necessary. I read where there was a backorder on these tank assemblies several years ago so hope that has been resolved.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well.
