Couple-a-questions ref interior care...


Recommended Posts

Posted

I read a post recently (can't seem to find it again)....

 

Someone was recommending what appeared to be a good product for the ( (p)leather ) seats.

 

The term Pleather was used a few times in that post. What is Pleather? Is that the leather seat material, the premium dash material, both???? Is it a treated/sealed leather?

 

What is the best stuff to use to clean this (regularly). My '07 had the uber-plastic interior with cloth seats.. Fast Orange worked quite well.

 

My present interior, especially the dash, seems to be leather, or have some leather surfaces... then again, maybe not. Can't figure it out. First leather truck I'ce ever had. I've been a cloth guy in the past.

 

Also, I have the mahogany interior. When I get out, my duck feet tend to (inadvertently) make streaks on the plastic trim at the bottom of the door, just aft of the speaker grill. Any advice on how to get that off?

Griots products have never failed me. Leather care spray for the seats. I use it once a month. Dash I use there interior vinyl spray. Maybe use it every 3 months. Holds its shine well. Nothing like armour all shine.

+2 for Adam's. You can use the VRT and the best part is you can wipe it down for a more matte finish. Plus it smells great.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
