Ordered some Clazzio Leather Seat Covers for my new 2024 Silverado LT.  Ordered them on Monday, they are arriving later this morning.  Their customer service was excellent and I am expecting the product to be just as excellent.  I will post pics when they are installed.

Took most of my day to install these.  It was a battle, but worth the trouble.  These things fit tight, and the velcro that they use is better suited for holding a 747 to the ground!   

Removing the seat head rests is ridiculous.  Whomever the engineer was that designed that system is a complete moron and needs to be slapped into tomorrow for that design.  And their supervisor, same thing, for allowing such a design to go into production.

After the first seat, I duct taped the velcro tabs so that they wouldn't catch on the existing fabric as you slide and tighten the seat covers.  You need to really put some muscle into these things to get them tight and to get them to fit together.  Your hands will be sore by the time you are finished.  

The clazzio tool is indispensable.  Use it.  Don't wait.  Just use it.  

The console was easy once you get the trim tabs under the cup holder situated.  It takes time, and patience, but it will all fit eventually.  I was really impressed with how well the material in the covers matches the leather trim on the console lid.  It really looks like it was all factory installed.

I will be going back through the covers after a couple of weeks of heating and cooling and sitting on them.  They will probably need a small amount of tightening up after a bit.  

The back seats.  Make sure you take a break before attacking those.  The seat cushions are easy.  But the back, is brutal.  The holes for the headrest trim pieces are ridiculously small for the size of the trim pieces.  They fit, but you will be fighting em for quite some time.  THIS is where the clazzio tool is worth its weight in gold.  On the LT trim crew cab, there is about a gnat's hair worth of room between the seat and the rear window track (I have a sliding rear window).  I will be revisiting that section of the install in a day or so once my hands have recovered.  Getting the leather down tight behind the seat is tough.  It can be done, but it will have to wait till later to clean it up and make it look good.  

The J-hooks on the headrests.  Well, there is a whole new challenge for ya.  Use a screw driver to pry open the "J" part, and literally kneel on the headrest to get enough slack in the seat cover material to flip the material over and slide it into the J channel.  Get one edge in (by the screw driver), and the rest will slide in from there.  Once in, they sure look nice, and you better like 'em cuz they are not ever coming apart again!

Also installed a duha underseat storage system, and a weather-tec bedliner.  Yes, I have the factory spray on bedliner, but I got this to add a bit more protection when I am throwing firewood in the bed.  I also heard, not sure where now, that the factory spray on bedliner is a bit 'delicate.'  This drop in bedliner has a bit of cushioning underneath it to help with impacts.  I figure that since I use the truck for doing truck things, I should do what I can to protect it.  My 2014 was strong to the day I traded it in.  I am hoping for the same with the 2024

Trimming of the factory floor mats was necessary, but simple enough, to install the storage system.  The bedliner was as simple as dropping it in, and pressing the adhesive holder things to the cab side of the bed.

perforated leather...black and black.  I got 'em because the perforated leather is breathable but also backed by a water proof liner so that it would protect against wet waders, sweat, and grime.  

I was really impressed how well the clazzio material matches the leather material gm uses on the console lid.  PERFECT match, grain, color, and stitching.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Declaring victory would upset the demons that possess this Blazer, so I won't. But I did make progress today--after it put up a fight. Always a fight.   I had the day off so I spent the morning cleaning up the shop and I thought I'd get ahead of things by filling the cooling system in prep for the final part I needed to arrive: the driver's side knock sensor. Glug, glug, glug....and then the unmistakable sound of liquid hitting the shop floor. It induces the same chagrin when the sonar and targeting laser temporarily malfunction during a late night bladder evacuation over the toilet with the bathroom light off. D'OH!!! That made a mess...   Oh, hey, that knock sensor I removed? It threads into a wet port. Who knew?! Learn something new every day. Put a pin in that chore, I'll fill it the rest of the way later.   The knock sensor arrived at about 1pm. I threaded it in, connected the wire, filled up the coolant, checked for leaks, and... drumroll.... fingers crossed for a perfect start, excellent timing, model fuel trims, and ...no squeaks... Here goes.....   No, it didn't start. At all. I cranked it a few times and it wasn't sounding good. Furthermore, I heard leaking again. Jesus H Tapdancing Christ, stop leaking all over the dang floor. This time I had accidentally overfilled the coolant reservoir and the churn of the water pump via cranking caused a bit to burp out. Ok, just, breathe... Put the flamethrower down. Dang thing wouldn't burn anyway, leaks too much...   Did you know the rotation of a round crank sensor in a round hole, matters? I do now. Took me about half hour to retrace steps and realize what I had done. Then it started right up.   No squeaks. The squeak was the old balancer.   Once it entered closed loop, fuel trims are dead on, hovering right around zero at idle. No more -30%. I'll credit the injector rebuild on that one.   Timing? I think there's an OBD 1.5 translation error with my Actron scanner. It's anywhere from -20 to -30 at idle, sometimes as high as -40 cruising. Sorry, the engine just isn't running that smoothly at -40 degrees ignition advance. It's just not. It's smooth all through the rev range and has decent power. I'm going to have to trust the seat of my pants on this one.   The new exhaust is very quiet. The old catalytic converter? Not melted, but definitely not healthy. Rains glitter when you turn it on its end...all the precious metal is flaking out. Once the new exhaust system burned in/smoked off a bit, the engine's exhaust smell is normal again. Not that I'd recommend going around huffing car exhaust, but, you know what I mean?   One problem to correct. The new exhaust has the opposite problem of the old spliced up exhaust. It wants to hit the floor where the old one wanted to rest on the cross member. Happy medium, please? Still noodling on that one, need to look at how I can adjust some hangers.   I don't know what's next. On one hand I want to run away from this thing as far and as fast as I can -- there have been a lot of NOT fun moments. On the other, now that it kinda drives nice, maybe drive it around for a little bit?   Shhh... it's not currently dripping oil all over the floor. I can see just a little wet at the bottom of the timing cover where it meets the oil pan seal. It's not dripping multiple drops with every ignition cycle, in fact, after some driving this evening it has yet to even form a drop that could drip off yet. But the weekend is young... I fully expect this could turn into Exxon Valdez by Sunday. Because this Blazer hates me. LOL.

      About that:   Once upon a time in a land far far away lived a car company that was shy about taking your money and wanted to be sure that they gave you more that you asked for so that you'd come back. No really, not a fairytale. 😱   But after the field got thinned out enough to limit the competition it seemed good enough to give you only what you asked for. Fair enough I say but in such a market you have to give something the others are not or they go to the one who does. Gimmicks or glitz. Oh, fins and chrome. Yea, shinny crow like cars. Yum.    Field narrows a bit more and 'brand loyalty' becomes a thing and the minute it does they start thinking to themselves, "Could we make more money if we gave them less than they expect and they will hang in there for brand and comfort with the known?" They gave it a try and da*n, it worked!!    Well, what if we teach them, groom them into believing that less is "Normal" and cut some more corners. Will that work? Oh heck yea!    🤔 I wonder, can we give then WAY less than they expect and make them mad enough to spit nails and STILL get them to pay up? Sure, if we get everyone else to do the same so that the choice is less or nothing at all. How would be do that? Platform sharing.  What a concept, right?  Steal like there is no tomorrow and it's legal too!    Truth is no one is going to give up driving, not for very long. The Gen Z crowd is fine with it and will be as long as someone not Gen Z will haul them around. At some point we all die.    Economic voting only works if you cast a NO vote now and again and enough of them to get dumb and dumber to wise up. Well, that's how I was taught anyway. And it should have worked. Would have worked. But the Bail out!!   Look, you have another choice if  you take that bag off your head. If the dumb it down to some predetermined expectation of how John Q Public will use it the, that is under design it to failure they you use it to a lower stress mode. D'ho!    A 1950 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 will go anywhere a Suzuki Hayabusa will and for just as long. But you will have to treat it for what it is and not for what you wish it was.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Maybe I was just too unlucky, but I had nothing but bad luck with Bridgestones. Out of 3 sets, they all started losing a lot of air when they got down to about 1/2 tread life, and at that point also wet traction suffered more than it should have. Also, the only tire I ever had in my 60 years of driving that had a side wall blow out was a Bridgestone.   I'm currently running Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT and am very happy with them.

      maybe when the trip is over, check all the other joints in the front end, like all the ball joints, tie rods, pitman & idler arms, etc...

      adding 360 surround view, UVI (Trailer Camera) package to UVS (Surround/invisible Trailer) Upgrade 2020 Silverado RST

      By Carlos Eduardo Silva · Posted

      Thks, and actually it was my bad, because here in this post there is someone showing the correct wire position as well. My bad... But thank you a lot with the help as well. I was able to find and buy a 10 channel VPM that came from a sister silverado of mine. The same year, same mode, same trim, same everything. 2022 Silverado 1500 LTD LTZ (pre-refresh). I also found to buy just the bottom mirror part that has the cameras, so way cheap than the full mirror. + a used front camera. I did test everything together, cameras, cables and the VPM.... everything worked EXCEPT my original Bed camera and the backup grid lines. I think the reason is because now I need to do the VPM reprogram. I sent a msg White Automotive & Media Service to confirm that it is the problem and that they can do it service for me case.   Once I get it 100% done I will post here result....
