I've been using Mother's on it, as I did on my BMW. Works well. I just wish my truck had black interior, the tan seats are a disgrace to keep clean.

My grey seats are a PITA to keep clean! After my seat is replaced, I'm going to buy a cheap cover at autozone. I use lexol

I don't get it? Would you wrap your leather jacket in plastic while you wear it to keep it clean too? Or are you keeping the leather in "like new" condition so the next owner gets to enjoy comfy leather seats while you sit on a "cheap cover"

 

Why even pay for leather to begin w/ why not just get cloth and save $$$??

I use Adams cleaner and conditioner. If you like you can get the GM labeled bottles also.

Not trying to be Miss Smarty Pants but be careful using cheap covers - whatever that means in your case.

 

I just think that (and I know you know that already) you have to clean the seats anyways - covers won't change that. If you buy cheap ones it could hurt the new seat by leaving color marks / streaks or the 'leather' could get damaged from the cover's fabric (& seams, depending what kind of thread was used). I would be concerned a bit more simply because you and some other guys have been disappointed by the quality of the seats you got in the first place.

 

I think if you want to keep the seats in good shape for a long time clean & protect them good and spend some $$ on good quality covers.

 

Good luck!

By trade I often have grease, fiberglass, oil, sand, salt, and jeans, ect on my seat every day... I've conditioned it regularly with lexol and Adams products and the seat has lasted 1/3 of what the leather on my 06 did with the same care. After my seat gets replaced, I will have a cover on the seat while I work from now on. Whether it be a towel or a cover from the auto parts store, it will be better than exposed leather to all of the above. I'll "enjoy" my leather on the weekends...

 

Thanks for the advice and I'll keep it in mind.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Average Assembly 4.8%   That's the likelihood of a light duty vehicle reaching 250,000 miles. Link below has the stats on this. Among pickups the 350 series (Dodge)  and higher (450 Ford) are most likely and nothing American built in the lighter trucks pegs a number higher than the overall average.  200K and up is the stomping grounds of Asian vehicles. Toyota Sequoia the leader at 39.1% probability.      https://www.autoweek.com/news/a68886903/vehicles-most-likely-to-last-over-250000-miles/   Likelihood drops dramatically at 100,000 miles of reaching even 150,000 miles. 250,000 is deep in the tail of the curve.    I've been told by the 'experts' that I don't need oils of the caliber I use. My high viscosity is damaging my motors. Ash content it to high and WILL foul plugs and kill cats and O2's. I don't need that much ZDP; my choice is over added and not cutting edge. I change it to often. I baby them to much.    Three Honda's reached 200K + and none used oil. All Red Line motors. All sold to friends or family. One Toyota reached 300K using oil, Pennzoil. Dizzy 300K using QSUD until it cashed the rings at 80K then whatever but often ever since. Did you know this engine still sports the OEM timing chain and is dead silent? Pepper spitting into the wind short of 200K, Red Line and changed often. Uses zero oil. A HPFP and a pinion seal. Still using most parts it left Fort Wayne with. So 50% of my vehicles have gone past 250K and 100% of the last half dozen past 200K. Of these two using "shelf oils' did so using abnormal oil and the four that used a premium boutique oil did not. There might be something there the experts have missed. 🤔

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

      By ManyCamaroz · Posted

      It's not that it sits for extended periods. I drive it every couple of weeks. However, I did consider draining the DEF and replacing it.    Don't you get a "Poor quality DEF warning" if its bad?

      Try draining the def and relacing with new if it has been sitting for a long time. Def does go bad after a little while.

      2015 Silverado with HUD retrofit/upgrade.

      By Thestonedone · Posted

      Thanks @Viktorrocks15 if you are still out there.   I followed your instructions and worked out great, went to the scrap yard and procured 2016 escalade cluster, hud, bezel, and switch. Got lucky and found a Camaro in the u-pull with the HUD bezel.   I made my own harness with these diagrams: https://www.gmupfitter.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/23_Escalade_Escalade_ESV_Electrical_Body_Builder_SM_en_US_2022OCT25.pdf   I used escalade cluster because its the best one that will work IMO. Still need to get it programmed but it looks really good.
