Why are the cloth seats in all the NBS trucks and tahoe's attracting lint so bad? It gets real anoying to use a lint brush all the time and still can't get it out of the cracks! Maybe someone can shed some light on this.

I don't have an answer, but I completely agree! I have the 40-20-40 bench in front, and the fabric stinks! I'm considering seat covers to protect the seats anyway from kids and dog, but wish the cloth was better from the factory. I think the bucket seats may have better fabric.

I've got bucket seats with the light/dark titanium clothe, and have the same issue. I'm definitely getting some kind of seat covers before hunting season.

I want to know what on earth GMC was thinking putting them Crappy seat colors in anyhow. A pickup is a man's (or woman) truck, how many men can keep a dam Cream seat clean!

 

I can't even keep my shorts clean for 10 mins never mind some seat's! And I paid a lot more for them seats than these Wal-Mart shorts.

 

The seat colors is something that I hate about my truck!

Seat covers went on mine right after mud flaps... And they are BAD! I tried vacuuming mine with little success.

 

 

Are you talking about the GM seat covers that are bad or aftermarket? Because I was looking at purchasing them from my dealer to help the problem.

I thought i was the only one with that lint problem!!!!!!!

 

But a quick fix for that lint problem....

 

Clean as much lint off the seats as you can...

 

Go down to the auto parts store and buy some "STATIC X".....

 

OR if your too lazy to go buy that you can just get some fabric softner (liquid) put it on a cloth and wipe down all your seats.

 

The static will come back but just repeat every so often....

 

and trust me it WILL go away....

 

i had my truck since January and no more static...

I just picked up my 07 Sierra last week and noticed in the first day that the seats were lint magnets. I will try the static x, but in the end I think ill end up getting seat covers anyway.

My '04 Z71 AV didn't have the lint problems that my '07 Tahoe's seats had. The wife noticed it too with the '07 Tahoe and in her words "cheap fabric". I didn't give the '07 Silverado seats enough time to get lint before I transfered a set of http://www.wetokole.com/ seat covers on to them.

 

I have cloth seats in my 01 and in little over a year, I have had no problems. Maybe the previous owner tried some of ^.

We've got a 103# Rottie that rides in our '07 Silverado crew cab (NBS). In fact, she's the main reason we decided on a crew cab instead of an extended cab. We selected our truck with that in mind and quickly eliminated cloth in favor of the leather.

My factory seat covers are trrible with lint. I put some cheapie seat covers on A) To protect Factory. B) To help the lint issue.

 

I also feel like the fabric's knap is holding the lint (like velcro) not static. I hope some of you have good results with the static stuff.

I love those seat covers have them in my Jeep and they are great. How good did they fit and do they seem to stay in place and not get loose?

It's definately the type of fabric holding the lint, not static. Was amusing watching the guys at the car wash trying to vaccuum the seats. Couldn't even suck the lint off the seats with a shop-vac, had to first use a brush. Makes me wish I had the cloth from the W/T seats.

      Acceptably cheap tires?

      By Atlas · Posted

      Which one, the AT or AS?   Starfire is made by Cooper/Goodyear but at $85/tire I'd think I'd need to level-set my expectations that they may not even be round 😉 But you're saying they're decent?   I'm already into this thing $1506 in parts, fluids, etc. Totaled all my receipts today. $250 of that was replacing an EGR and MAP sensor that were probably fine, but I'm not going to return the parts since they've been installed. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. I use it, I keep it!   I may or may not make money if I sell the truck at this point, but, that wasn't really the point. And if I billed my time, I'd be hosed for real. My thought on the tires is I "might" put 1,000 miles on before selling it. I just don't want to put absolute junk on it, that doesn't do anyone any good. If the Solus solidly isn't junk, I'll definitely consider them.

      Is your l8t engine bay super dusty?

      By rjgvt · Posted

      I leave mine as is. I'm always a trip away from riding on unpaved roads. Dealer can clean it when they prep it after I trade it in for another new truck.

      I have these on two vehicles and love them. Pepper is one of them 😉

      4WD. Far as I know it came stock with P's and not LT's. Definitely planning to put P's on it, but stock is a 109 XL load rating so I should probably stick within that guideline.   No rebates on anything I can see at the moment. Discount Tire is offering $50 off, but Pep Boys is very competitive on price, and also carries all the off-brand stuff. Les Schwab always wants an arm/leg, but they do good work.   It still has the original spare. Goodyear Wrangler RT/S, thing looks like a tractor tire LOL!! How times have changed.

      2020 Sierra 2500 windows rolling down

      By JohnRoy · Posted

      2020 Sierra 2500 HD (base model) gas engine 4wd.    All 4 windows roll down on their own. Happens somewhat randomly after stop and engine off - when engine turned off, when walking away from vehicle before or after locks activated. Pulled the window fuse F14 Instrument Panel Fuse Block Right; the driver's side still activates from driver's side door panel; passenger and back seat windows activate from local switches on their doors but not from driver's side group of switches. Power mirrors don't activate with fuse removed either (same fuse for both circuits). Problem not solved.    How can they even activate with fuse removed but they are all still opening and can control from each door?  When they open on their own, I can shut them from the switch in each door, but they don't stay closed.    Seems to be activated somehow with key fob; something bumping the key fob in my pocket or just handling - removed key fob and took it far enough away and now the windows stay closed. Replaced key fob batty just in case, no change.    Sounds like some kind of wiring short or maybe electronics. Dealer will first replace electronic control module without checking anything else and I anticipate problem will still exist since their troubleshooting skills are limited to "do whatever the computer says".  In any case, keyfob seems to be activating the circuitry.    Surely I'm not the only one with this issue, but I can't find anything related on the site. What do yall think?   JohnRoy
