I agree. My only concern is how the cheap, thin leather will look in a few years. Guess I'll start saving for a Katskin now...

They are vinyl not leather. Mine look fine but you can tell its cheap. Doesn't compare to my buddies king ranch.

I like the GM seats with the stitching. King Ranch Fords are a bit gaudy for my tastes, but to each his own. I've seen quite a few reviews of GM Ford and Ram 1500s and invariably the testers rate the GM interior over the Ford but give the nod to Ram as the nicest. While they are partly vinyl there is real leather on them too.

'Leather appointed' seats are standard on SLT/LTZ and optionals are also leather.

 

SLT/LTZ is required to get the the 6.2.

 

Therefore, all 6.2's leave the factory in trucks with leather seats.

 

And since reg cab trucks are not available in SLT/LTZ trim, not reg cab trucks get the 6.2.

Add Me too the list of people who don't want leather but wanted the powertrain. I'm beginning to kind of like the leather however I'm still always nervous about scratching it or even tearing it.

It is easier to keep clean than dusty cloth seats.

 

The down side is it's hot in summer and cold in winter.

 

But give me back my 95 GMC with cloth buckets and I'd be a happy camper.

Leather where your butt sits, vinyl on sides & lowers ... (called leather appointed) (select locations on the seat)

Really, hot in the summer?? Where I come from it is easily 100+ on the outside of my truck daily. I have leather seats. The seats have never felt hot to me, not even when sitting in direct sunlight. Not even close to some of the seats that I have had to sit on after a day in this summer heat. Those seats could easily burn bare skin. Cold in winter. I took my truck up into the snow today with my grandkids. Now grant you it was sitting right at the freezing point when we were up there, but the seats did not come close to feeling cold. You have have your cloth or vinyl or whatever you like. My previous vehicle had velour seats, not only did they get hot in direct sunlight, they were cold in the winter and would absorb water or other fluids readily. I take my leather seats any day.

The answer to the question is, no you can't. While I like my leather seats, others prefer cloth. It's great to have options and I agree, GM should offer the 6.2 in all trim levels. Have they lost sight of the fact that these are trucks and power might take precedent over luxury in a truck for some folks? It seems to me a 6.2 in a work truck makes a lot of sense.

      Brake Bleed Procedure

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a reply on this thread or a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - ACDelco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles. When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so i did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance.

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.

      Not what I said but I can work with it anyway. Complete combustion produces CO2 and H20. When it's cold enough you can 'see' it as water vapor but it is always there and more so the better the tune up. It's physics, not an argument. In a cold motor when the cylinder jacket is below the condensation temperature the water goes to the pan and not the PCV system. Heating the oil moves it from liquid to vapor where it is removed by the PCV system. When and how much depends on temperatures. Of the air, the water and so on. It has little to with the humidity. Water is a combustion product.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can only guess as well that something was clicked on that brought you to the half ton choices by accident. By all means try again and chose the 3500 and sort out that its the cab and box configuration you want and choose four wheel drive ( rather obvious to have a transfer case ) and to make sure the dually isn't chosen. I find or at least did a couple of years ago when I was sifting through the options that it would sometimes jump ahead after choosing the series of truck and in this case 3500 and skip some of the other initial configuration choices and have to watch the heading bar and sometimes back up by choosing the first in the series of option break downs. I think sometimes the computer will remember items that were last chosen and skip over the first part. Anyway go through it all and depending on the trim level chosen and I think the LT is one that may fall into that where the option of having the 4 high auto transfer case can be chosen, where as a High Country doesn't show that option as it just comes with the fancier ( not necessarily better though in terms of potential problems ) transfer case but for sure both transfer case choices are equipped with high and low range in the HD truck segment. Like Newdude said who works at a dealership, its the half tons that are the ones that will come with the single speed unless certain options or trim levels are chosen that add the two speed transfer case but as your looking at an HD, you don't have to worry about that hot mess.    One item that at least didn't show up and not sure if it does yet or not in the HD options on the manufactures pubic website is the upfitter in cab switch option if one is desiring that. Unfortunately its not wired in at the factory but the panel with the switches is on the dash but the wiring harness to be installed gets tossed under the rear seat to be installed by whomever after the fact to complete the installation.

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!
