I have the best plan, it seemed to for for Jericho fans, CBS buckled. I bet we could get GM to buckle.

 

How about after each and every lint cleaning, it would be 2x a week for myself. We package up all the lint and mail it in to the GM office. I bet once they received a weeks worth of nasty lint, something might happen to this ole TSB. Who is game for this?

Well, I am one of the unfortunate ones that has the seat material pilling too. After the service manager wrote it up and working with the GM rep, the dealer agreed to replace the seat cover. This took about two weeks to process. I expressed my concerns about the lint and the pilling and that it will most likely start to pill again, so I tried to negotiate a deal to replace the seat covers with leather, but the dealer was not willing to compromise.

 

Now I will give GM and the dealer credit for replacing the seat cover, but I am not sure I want to waste my time installing the same seat cover.

 

Katzkin's from the Houston dealer is around $1400 out the door for the Crew Cab. I have seen the shop’s work and with the Katzkin's installed in a Sierra. The Katzkin's do look nice, but $1400 is a lot of cabbage!

I did my weekly call to GMC for an update. It took 45 minutes to clean my seats up on sunday, so I had a lot of time to kill with them today. The first two people I spoke with gave me the "Lint?" like I was crazy. They then looked it up but couldn't find anything. Gave them the TSB and both hung up on me when they went to "research" it. I drove by a chevy dealership and had the service dept. print me off a copy. Then I called again. Third guy also claimed there was never any problem with the seats. Said there was no bulletin in the system. I told him I looked it up online. He googled it and found it also. He said he wouldn't comment on it because there was no proof it was an actual GMC bulletin. I then told him I also had a copy from a local dealership. I told him I had the name and number of the woman who was able to find it in 10 seconds and could provide him with her contact info so she could explain to him how she was able to pull off this miracle. He then told me that although I can buy a copy of a bulletin they are only meant for service techs at local dealerships. He then said that was all he could say and he thought I should call sales and marketing? Now I have a district specialist calling me tomorrow. All in all I was able to waste an hour and twenty minutes of GMC's time. More if you count tomorrows call from the district guy.

 

It takes my mind off being stuck in traffic. I also have onstar transfer me so I don't waste cell minutes and am hands free.

My Katzkins arrived today. By early next week - no more lint!

Why would you do that? Don't you know that "GM engineers are looking into this issue at this time"? :lol:

Someone had asked for pics of my seats from classic soft trim. I finally took a couple of pics. It sure beats the lint!

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
