Chevy's new Equinox comes with seats designed to be both stylish and stain-resistant. In addition to the scuff and wear-resistant leather that is optional, Equinox also has a seat material very similar to dark denim jeans (dungarees where I come from). “The fabric is very durable, while the color and even the pattern help hide dirt and stains,” said Mara Kapsis, color and trim designer for the 2018 Equinox. “It’s also very easy to vacuum and clean, which saves owners time and helps keep the interior looking great year after year.”

 

 

Many families buy their vehicles with interiors that will match expected stains. When my family was young, that meant buying cars with "Chocolate Chip Cookie" colored interiors. What say you GM-Trucks.com faithful? Is shopping for an interior with stain resistance in mind goofy or good planning?

We've had tan and light gray interiors on our work vehicles and they end up showing quite a bit. So while dark messy be hot, it hides things well.

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.
