2011 Sierra 2500hd Interior Color Decision

I am in the process of ordering a new 2011 Sierra 2500HD in Midnight Blue Metallic, but can not decide on the interior color...Ebony or the Cashmere. Ebony will hide the dirt, but every dealer around here orders the Ebony so everyone has it. The cashmere is lighter, gives a nice contrast with the black dash and not everyone has this color. this truck is not used as a work truck but my day to day driving and pulling our 35' camper.

 

Anyone have either of these interior colors...pros, cons or pictures? Looking for other opinions...

 

thanks in advance!!

cloth or leather?

 

Kids?

 

I would go ebony, the darker color is easier to maintain and keep looking nice IMO.

i have cashmere...

 

only down side is if you wear blue jeans often, the dye from the jeans will rub off on the leather,.. and its permanent.

 

I ended up buying some GM leather seat covers for driver and passenger seats.

we have 4 kids, but they are not in the truck on a regular basis. When we travel now in the Tundra I typically will put down a blanket for their cars seats to rest on. Currently have a light gray/silver interior color that I spray scotchguard on 2x a year and it has upheld well.

We keep going back and forth on the pros and cons of the cashmere versus the ebony. I do like the contract the cashmere has up against the black dash and steering wheel....

Would appreciate any photos out there of the cloth (don't like leather) cashmere in a truck...can't seem to find one on lot in Iowa

 

thanks for the feedback

I just got my 2011 gmc Sierra Duramax 2 weeks ago and I ordered cashmere and love it after always having ebony or pewter.I will have to clean more often but the look is well worth it . The interior is 2 tone dark and light .

did you get the cloth or leather...that two tone look is what is catching my eye when I build the truck on-line and compare the cashmere and the ebony. How do you like the 2011 Sierra? That is what I am leaning on versus the Silverado, I like the front end better. Getting a gasser thought and not the diesal

 

You wouldn't happen to have a picture of the interior?

 

thanks for the opinions so far, i appreciate it!

Thanks for the Pic Ryan....I see you are a Bears fan...that is always a good thing. I hope the Bears are getting all their losses out of the way now in pre-season otherwise it will be another long season, and even longer for me as my wife is a Vikings fan!

 

Back to my post though...I haven't seen a cashmere interior on this truck any where so hoping someone out there has a cashmere cloth interior I could see...thanks again

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
