They look great, did you do them or have a trim shop do it?

 

I had a custom fab shop do it.  They do 4-5 complete installs per day due to agreements with local dealerships.  I guess a ton of people are buying lower optioned vehicles and doing Katzkin.  The quality, to me, seems to be as good if not better than OEM.  The only thing they didnt do was the center console lid.  They said they couldn't figure out out to get it off.  I think they must just leave it trimmed in black leather because most people install OEM colors, so being as mine was different they didn't do.  My neighbor (an auto interior refurb business owner) did it.

FYI, to get a shop to install a full Katzkin package including the leather itself should be no more than $1,300.

Looks great, I have the Katzkin perforated graphite with red stich ordered for my satin steel custom trail boss.  I was scared to try other color options without being able to see any seats in person and only swatches.

Those look great, I am still trying to find someone in my area that does a good job and is reasonably priced. I had some quotes in the $1900-2100 range. I also have the jump seat which seems to be a pain in the ass.

I highly recommend these, too. They are great, and make the whole interior look so much better. We went with all black Roadwire leather kit (what the dealer installs on their cars) and it turned out great, too.

      HELP! DUMPING COOLANT

      If anyone lands here looking for an update - the problem wasnt with the hose, the clamp, etc... I purchased a metal Thermostat housing that just must not of been made to spec. It just wouldn't plug up the hose.. Went back to a plastic cheap housing - leak fixed. Some plumbers tape carefully placed in tandem with a clamp likely would've gotten the job done.   Best,

      For anyone following, this is what I have deduced from this forum - and my very specific niche case. Please do let me know if you see me going in the wrong direction here. For context, I have a 16 sierra 1500 w/t. Has TC and Cargo light switches. Removed the switch to find the X1 and X2 of the S48A connection populated with wires (x1 10-14, and x2 1-5).   Took photos of the X61A-X5 to find the wires from S48A-X1 land here at their respective pins (10, 11, 17, 23 on the X5). Was hopeful that this means my X51A fuse box has the appropriate pins... No cigar. So now I will be routing wires from the rear of the X61A-X1 to the engine bay and to their respective negative relay triggers. Please see to the diagram. If any has insight as to where the S48A-X2 pins 4 and 5 land that would be awesome.   Note: please disregard fuse sizes. Main fuse will like be 25A, all mini bus fuses will likely be 10-15A   Cheers

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.
