6.2l w/o leather?


Recommended Posts

Good luck. I honestly don't think it's going to happen. Just like the 6.2 is only available in the Yukon Denali XL package. Would have loved to have one in the standard Yukon.

Why are you so against leather seats? They sre nicer, more comfortable, easier to clean, and hold up better than the crap cloth.

High quality leather would be nice. Both of the front seats in my silverado LTZ ripped/cracked, and this isn't a work truck, just a daily driver. When I pointed it out at my dealership, they said it was regular wear and tear and was to be expected with the material in these vehicles.

Not a fan really, leather will eventually crack/crease/split even with regular conditioning. Cloth has always been bullet proof for me. And the extra cost. Plus we have little ones and car seats to leave indentations.

 

I've had quite the opposite experiences. Yes can crease and crack, and vinyl will do the same, cloth will wear and tear. All of the materials will eventually show wear. I think leather is the most durable. Keep it moisturized with a good product and it will outlast a cloth seat, maybe outlast the rest of the vehicle. Cloth seats "inhale" dust when you move around on them and the dust from a 4x4 that settles on the seats just gets sucked into thru the fabric and into the foam. I've had cloth and leather. Leather is my choice for a hunting truck. My last hunting truck had 150,000 miles on it and the leather seats. They had dogs with mud on their feet climb around on them and constantly had the dogs on them around town. They still look really decent last time I saw it. My last cloth seat truck was a 99 1/2 GMT800 and the seats looked pretty worn and faded when I sold it at 225,000 miles. At nearly 275,000+ miles today, they are really trashed, as in I dont' want to sit on them.

 

I've read some here complain about the leather GM uses as not being of good quality. I dunno. I think for the application, the GM leather is great. But it ain't the same leather I'd expect in a luxury car either.

I've owned over a dozen vehicles, none with leather. I was against the leather too, but I went with 6.2 max tow package. I'm actually very pleased with it. Let's face it, the leather on these trucks is not why they cost $49500, it's the combo of the shinny new 8 speed tranny with the 6.2 l engine.

    • I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?
    • Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL
    • Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.
    • Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
