Dealer Fixed A Few Things...


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just picked up my Silverado earlier today from the dealer. The list of things to fix wasn't too bad.

 

 

The first thing was to put the new style seat covers on.

Then they put a new grille on because the other one was chipped everywhere, and wrinkled/peeling beside each chip.

Then they put a new bowtie on the grille because the gold inside of it was peeling off.

I'm real pleased with how it turned out. They also fixed my drivers side door lock which stopped working, and checked my rack & pinion for leaks since it had residue on the bottom of it, but it was leak free.

Looks good. I would have asked if I could have thrown in a few bucks and had them upgrade the new covers to leather. Good job on getting it all taken care of.

Thanks. I don't like leather seats or that would have been a good idea. I like my cloth.

Looks good. Hopefully you will like your "new" seat covers. The ones in my 2010 gather just as much lint (and everything else) as my dads 08. For some reason, GM goes really cheap on the seat covers, even the leather.

They did a good job. I just wish they used the better cloth material that they had used in the GMT-800s. I find the cloth of the GMT-900s to be rather dull and cheap looking so I am glad I got leather on my current truck.

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
