Are the OEM vinyl like some of the aftermarket ones? Would the 3M adhesive remover work?

I'd try parking it out in the sun for a few hours and then start peeling. Whatever adhesive is left, use the adhesive remover.

Or maybe try a heat gun...but be careful with that...don't want to bake the paint.

Since your truck is new and you value your paint -- you might want to take it to a shop that does vinyl graphics on vehicles, like police cars or moving vans -- they have the proper tools and stuff -- I think there are some buffer style "erasers" that take the sticker off.

use a razor blade a heat gun and a steady hand then clean up with goo gone or rubing alchol or adhesive romoverwhen i use to detail for car dealerships I had to remove a lot of stikers other dealership stickers, torn pin stripes, or the worst large event advertisment stickers such as the state fair.
or skip the heat gun and use water as lube and the razor since your sticker is not old and sun baked on

Caution with a heat gun. They get very hot and can damage the paint.

finger nail, elbow grease, an 10 minutes, first rub or spray some elbow grease on the sticker, you can pick this up at Wal-Mart, then pull your finger nail from your toolbox, very carefully start at any corner, apply more elbow grease if needed, then peel away, viola, put the heat guns away tim allen, put the putty knife away bob vila,

you carry all the tools you need every where you go, and there is alot less chance of messing up your paint, big plus

I decided to keep my zr5 stickers.. I like em too much.. I did add some 4x4 stickers on the bed.

isnt that kinda like putting 4x4 stickers on a jeep, or advertising it for sale in the paper and making sure you add in large letters, FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, i believe the word i'm looking for is redundant
