I have cloth seats. I originally put seat covers on it but haven't been satisfied with them because they don't fully cover the back and fold over when I slide in. Any recommendations?

I asked the same question Rdonararski . Not sure what thread of mine it was in but in one of them either the Truck Purchased thread or The What to do to the 2500 HD thread ,

'm looking at the Shear Comfort ones or Tiger Tough I think they are .

What ones did you purchase that you are not happy with ?

I have been using Covercraft SeatSaver poly cotton covers in my Silverados for 20 years and have been fully satisfied with them. They are a custom fit, fully cover the seats, stay in place, and can be removed and thrown in the washing machine easily.  When my daughter was young and would pee in the child seat, the liquid would pool on top of the seat cover and not go down to the seat. They were probably closer to $200 though.

Do those CoverCraft seat covers have a place where the airbag can deploy if it is set off É

Thank You

I ended up ordering the Saddleman. They were on sale bringing them down to about $200. I put them in my cart and checked out some other options. They came back 3 days later and offered me $30 off. Sold! They called me after I placed the order and verified exactly what seat I have. I was impressed with that. Nothing worse than getting the wrong fit. They apparently custom make them. I got notification when they went to cutting and again when they went to sewing. I'll let you know how they work out.

I got my seat covers a couple of weeks ago and finally made some time to install them (whoever said retirement was boring?).  I was in a hurry and probably didn't do the best installation job. I have the 40/20/40 bench seat with non-opening console. I'm happy with the passenger and driver's seats. Not thrilled with the center console though. It's adequate when the console is up and it is used as a seat. When the console is down however it is clumsy with a partial cover over the console. Since I very seldom use the center for a seat, I think I will remove the cover for the back on that. Again, I was in a hurry and didn't do the best installation job. When I get some time, I will probably redo some of that.

I don’t want to be Debbie Downer here it goes. Some of those seat covers are ugly. Why cover up nice seats? When I traded my daughter my low mileage CRV for her high mileage Odyssey it was a mess. She used it for Uber and Lyft for a year. She also has 3 kids. Seats were stained. The carpet was covered with cereal and junk. Even chocolate and other unidentified stuff. I had it back like new in a few hours. Elbow grease and off the shelf products. I spent my life working in dirty, dusty conditions. I used blankets when I was worried about my seat if I got dirty. I even used blankets under my kids car seat in the seventies and early eighties. All my vehicles are older and have carried grandchildren. Our interiors are pristine. A good shop Vac, elbow grease a blanket for emergency. Enjoy the interior.

I put seat covers on my work truck seats. Over 20 years of service, when removed to sell the seats were like new.

The seats on my truck are not the highlight. I do think it’s crazy when people cover up nice furniture. My last truck had leather seats. I eventually nicked them with a tool in my pocket. My truck sits in my main repair bay in my shop so I have to move it whenever I’m working on other vehicles or equipment. My fear is grease on my clothes or tools in my pocket.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).

      Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.
