So since I’ve traded in my old truck and have a new 2021 RST, I’m looking at new seat covers. I had katzkins on my last truck that were nice. I’m considering going a little more cost friendly this time around. That being said there’s a couple that I’ve seen and wondering if anyone has some real life experience and pictures showing how well they fit. 
 

I’m looking at the clazzio covers as well as these unbranded covers on eBay that look eerily similar to katzkins. Maybe a Chinese clone?

 

Anyways, if anyone has info/pics on these two or another leather/leatherette option, let me know. 
 

Thanks in advance.

Your link is for replacing the cloth seat covers, unless that is what you're after. I took your post as wanting to cover up what you have now. Sorry if I'm reading it wrong.

Either one. Like I said, they look similar to katzkins which I installed on my last truck. These are seat cover replacements, the clazzios slip over the existing. I’m looking to see if anyone has experience with either.

I purchased a Roadwire kit from my local truck accessories shop for about $600.  I wanted roadwire because I couldn't find a Katzkin kit that wasn't perforated(wanted non perforated because I thought it'd help stay clean because perforated has holes for sand/dirt)for me to purchase and install myself.  The shop I bought from installs the Road wire and since he lives across the street from me he didn't mind selling me the kit and letting me do it myself. He also let me talk to the guy who does his installs for pointers but youtube has some good videos on how to install.  The only issue with youtube that I had was that there weren't any videos of installing the rear seat back that had storage or an armrest which wasn't too hard to figure out but I wanted to see someone's install on the arm rest to see if I could make a tighter fit on it when in up position.  The two kits mentioned above you take the cloth covers off and install the leather in its place.

I had Katskinz installed as a dealer option which included heated seats. Very pleased with the leather and while pricey (~$2K), it's held up well (only 12K miles) and feels great.

"Fake leather" = it's vinyl.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB - 20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
