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.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
