Is there really no way to get any information? No one related to GM knows anything? What is the purpose of a system set up like that?

 

It's top secret. You may know too much already. You are in danger! :sigh:

 

Haha, its because they don't want to fix the problem at all. And by ignoring it and making it difficult to find out about it, they can put it off for even longer.

My dealer finally told me what we already know. He said that according to the rep, GM has no interest in following up on this.

I read the first 16 pages but gave up and skipped to the end.

 

Does anyone know if this is an issue with the 08 ebony seats as well?

 

Thanks and sorry for your frustration.

26 pages and 382 posts later we get our answer. I guess GM could not find a 'warrantable' way to take care of this problem

No,They just can't find a "cheap warrantable" way to take care of this problem :lol:

We know what the solution is....Use the material/fabric that was in the GMT800 trucks :lol:

Warren, I took a copy of the TSP into the GMC dealership and they added me to a list so that if a solution is found, I will be able to take advantage of it. I also called GMC Canada and talked to a lady there to complain. I suggest that you do the same as the more people that mention this, and complain, maybe a solution will be found and the lint days will be over. I use about 5-8 sheets on a roller lint remover each time I clean the driver side seat. What a pain, and my truck is only 6 weeks old.

Well my truck finally goes in tomorrow for a Katzkin makeover. I've been so dissappointed with the look of these seats that I have a hard time getting up the energy to clean the truck at all, I'll be so glad when this is done. As far as my attempt at getting GM to pay for the labor to change the material they did offer to give me a full set of factory GM seat covers which I took, promptly returned and I'll use the cash to pay for the change over. Not the best outcome but hey what else can you do. I'll tell you though that it's going to be alot harder to by a GM next time after the way they are handling things lately.

I have been down the "Get GM to fix this" route before like many others and if it isn't a safety issue there is a 99.999999% chance they wont do squat.

 

I have one of these brushes (and it will remove the lint in one swipe), kindof a one way cloth, you clean the brush by brushing backwards hence the left and right.

I tried it on a friends truck, and he almost beat the shit out of me when I tried to take the brush back home. He told me he would return it to me when he got his new one. He had tried everything.

      Vehicle Payments

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
