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.

      If there are updates/fixes you want, you could pay to have the updates applied by the dealer.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By DaleB · Posted

      Hi all - my current truck is a 2022.5 1500 High Country 3.0. I bought the truck used last year. After doing some digging, I noticed that my truck's software is stuck on the original build from 2022. I have no available software updates. I talked to my dealer about this and they recommended not trying to force an update since the 36,000 mile warranty is expired. This is a big bummer since there have been many major releases since that have fixed small issues and improved speed/usability.   For reference, the current software build number is: full_gminfo37_gb-user 10 W158E-W164.4.2-QIH22B-563.3 158 release-keys Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I just forget about it and move on, or try a different dealer?

      Using zip ties but 2-3 they snap due to sharp edges. Just using a shoestring. Last longer. 🤣

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      I ordered the Snap On...waiting for it to come in later this week or early next week.   New front cover, new crank seal and new balancer are on. Water pump, pulley, fan, hoses, and plastics reinstalled. I can move forward knowing all my timing marks are dead on and the front engine is hopefully sealed better than it was. Take 2 with the water pump...trying high temp thread sealer on the lower bolts.   Rebuilt injector and new-new regulator is in, it looks like new. Top intake reassembled and all the bits are reconnected and snugged down.   Thinking about knock sensors again, I located both of mine and, there's your problem, Francis... The driver's side one is broke, plastic is bashed in, part of the wire is bare, and it appears to have been damaged like that for a long time. I saw the wire but didn't think anything of it. The knock sensor might not be my pulled timing issue, but it sure looks suspect. It must still be conducting, otherwise I'd expect a CEL. But perhaps with its sacred crystal inside exposed, jilted and dirty, maybe it's sending mixed signals. So I'm waiting for one of those and a new pigtail to come in. Pass side sensor looks good, except for the spark plug wire resting on it (!). The plug wires are healthy so it shouldn't be causing an issue, but I separated them and added zip ties to nearby looms to keep everything well apart.   So, I'm down to installing a knock sensor AND, oh, replacing the exhaust and cat. I actually think that's going to be fairly easy, it's all bolt-together, all new stuff from Walker is laid out on the shop floor ready to go. Hopefully have this thing on the road again for the weekend.   My luck? It will still be leaking oil, coolant, pulled timing, intermittent CEL for running rich, or it probably won't run at all -- because that's how this project has gone.   I've never worked on a vehicle so ...hurt? ...cursed? in my life. Everything has been effed with SO HARD, but I think...knock on wood...I've managed to undo all the backyard stuff and we're almost reset back to "just" an 80k mile, 30 year old Blazer.
