what about that thingofajingy that you can hook to a battery and it electrically discharges your seats to keep the lint off?lmao. I'm glad mine came with the seats that don't look like a white-haired dog has been sitting in. But seriously GM needs to look into this. However for somebody that cheaps out on some pretty minor things, you can't expect them to give you premium seats...can you??

Well, I bought the Katzkin leather replacements for my crew cab a year ago and love'em. I spent $635 on ebay from a dealership in Florida who stated a customer ordered them and changed their mind.

These things are brilliant. I went to the katskinz website in order to see if they have a canadian retailer, and no luck - anyone have a website or somthing for a canadian retailer?

:dunno:

Yes, but they are not leather. I suspect that the Katzkins would be quite a bit nicer. Of course that comes at a 200$ +/- premium too.

 

 

Andy, is that a Ford/New Holland emblem in your picture?

 

Yes.

has anybody tried rubbing the seats with dryer sheets to reduce static cling? might be worth a shot.

yup. it isn't static cling that is doing it. This stuff is like the hook portion of velcro. Not to mention that half of the crap is coming from inside the seat. If you grab the end of what looks like a little white hair and pull on it three more inches come out.

I give up !! I've purchased a new set of katzkin leather. I found a fair deal --

 

Crew Cab -- $645 inlcudes two tone (insert) performation with matching stitching. I think it's about a hundred less ($545) for standard leahter. I found my source on ebay. Listed below is the information. Nice guy -

I'll post picture when leather arrives and installed.

 

Thanks

For anyone that might find this useful. Take the blade out of an exacto knife and run it gently along the seat, flat and not as if your trying to jut it open (I think how is pretty self explanatory). I think you will be surprised at how much comes right off without damage to the seat.

 

Give it a try!

The Katzkin box says the color is "Carbon". It is a very good match to the factory ebony

I've heard many people talk about installing Katzkin covers. How difficult is this to do for a fairly reasonable do-it-yourselfer?

 

While I've never done it, I read someone on here say that it's a 2 day job for a crew cab. Not something I want to tackle personally. I think that post is in this thread somewhere.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
