Hey!  As the title mentions, I'd like to buy leather seat covers for my 2014 Silverado.  My truck is a standard cab, so I only need the front seat components.  I do have the center jump seat.  OEM, Katzkin, Roadwire… I'd be happy with any of them.  I'd prefer black or gray, but may be open to other color options.  Let me know if you have anything!  Thank you!

Katskins are nice. Check Ebay. Also super easy to install bit without steam there are wrinkles in every seat I have seen.

Thanks for that info.  I've considered having some professionally installed, but all of the professional installers near me charge an arm and a leg for labor and require that you buy the covers from them for full retail price.  

 

I'm also a little surprised that they don't seem to offer a standard cab kit.  It seems like you have to buy a full crew cab or double cab kit and toss the rear seat parts.  So wasteful. Haha.

You are right that is why on Ebay you see so many rear seat only kits. I dont know how handy you are,but you can buy a steamer cheaper and do it all yourself. Really is easy stuff.

I chuckled when I saw this because I've read about some of the work you do and your skill level.  Making a transmission out of recycled soda cans would be easy for you! ;-)      OP,  you can probably install these yourself and save some money.  There are good reasons for a professional installation to cost so much and may be worth it to pay the extra.  I would.

I do everything my self. I even got certified in pluming,electrical,mecp master, and Cisco just because I was interest in it. I do everything on cars and my houses. Also help out family with there installs and upkeep.
Dont get me wrong i spend a small fortune in tools but it's fun and tools are always usefull.
Maybe I'm just to cheap to pay labor rate.

I do all my own work on everything we own also.

From computers to houses.

I won't pay to have something done I can do myself and know it's done right.

Vehicle tires is one thing I don't do due to equipment cost. My local new to me tire store since we moved has been a PITA. Scratched all 4 rims on the wife's car when installing new tires. Waiting to see what they do.

I too do most of my own work and own tools of many trades.  I know my limitations and when it is worth it for me to seek the help of a professional.  There are also projects that I am capable of doing but refer to a professional just because I'd rather pay someone to do the work!  Installing Katzkins may be a daunting task for the Op and it may be worthwhile for him to have them "professionally installed".

Call the electrician at a trip charge of $75 and $80 an hour?

After we bought our new to us mountain home 17 months ago I found some outlets/plugs that had a problem when using the vacuum.

A voltage check revealed the voltage fluctuated from 80 - 105 volts.

Pulled all the plugs that had issues and checked how they were wired. 2 were wired wrong but still had the fluctuating voltage.

The problem was a loose neutral/white wire in the service/fuse panel.

Tightened it down, fixed.

Saved over $200 easily.

(Sorry to Op for getting off topic)  Diyer2, your story reminds me of a second home we bought many years ago.  I was revamping the laundry room and discovered that a previous owner had wired the entire basement with dollar store type extension cords prior to finishing the walls.  I had to strip all the walls to the studs.  I was in the plumbing and heating business and held an electrical ticket for the first years of my working career.  I have seen a lot of handy work but this impacted me due to the fact I was living at this house at the time!

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
