Has anyone upgraded the seats in a late model SLE Sierra to leather or Pleather. Or found quality seat covers that actually fit right. Thanks

I just installed the Vertex custom covers on my SLE a week ago. Cannot comment on durability but overall the fit is very good, the center console seat is the only spot I am not totally happy with. Overall they are a big upgrade over stock.

 

Apologies for the sideways photos but hopefully they help show how well the covers fit. Probably took 4-5 hours to install everything completely and being pretty picky.

 

They took almost 10 weeks to ship but I bought them on Black Friday sale so I think the were out of stock before my order came in.

I found a full set of oem leather takeoffs on ebay for $400 I believe and replaced my cloth.  Took some time and effort to remove each seat and swap from cloth to the leather, but I'm happy with the end result.  Wife's not real happy because we don't have seat heat, but she'll get over it.

I actually ordered some leather seat covers for my SLE. Super satisfied with the fit and quality. I went with Katzkin.

Me too, love them.  Nobody realizes they are not stock because of how flawlessly they fit

How did you get the rear seatcover tucked under the headrest trim? The front headrest trim comes off, but the rear headrest trim doesn't appear to come off and the pre cut holes on my new vertex seatcovers are barely bigger than the headrest posts and no way will they stretch over the trim. I am hesitant to cut the holes bigger and assume there has to be some way to remove the trim pieces. Any help here is appreciated so I don't have to call vertex customer service

Now I have a similar problem putting the covers on the headrests. The pre-cut hole for the tilt button on the headrest cover is way too small to stretch over that button. If I could take that ring off that's around the button, the cover would go on so much nicer. All my searches come up with is how to remove headrest which I already know how to do.

Any ideas?

 

PROBLEM SOLVED. I WAS ABLE TO STRETCH COVER OVER THE BUTTON WITHOUT DAMAGING THE NEW COVER.

THANKS

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
