So has anyone seen the material on the 09 seats yet?

 

Yep,Its the same as '07/'08 :fume::dunno::mad::D:D:bs::wtf::bs::lol::P:crackup:

 

 

 

Well I got to assume that if they're still using the same cloth in the 09's, they will not admit there is a problem with it in the 07's and 08's. But then I might be wrong. :cry:

I just bought a 12 pack of lint rollers on Ebay for 20 bucks shipped. I figure that should hold me over for a while, until I get leather or GM issues a fix. :dunno:

I agree but realistically they are not in any finical situation to correct the issue so they sure as He!! will not willing admit that it is an issue!

you know, you are absolutely correct about the financial situation and the result of this tsb. i can believe this. i just wish gm would state this as fact - instead of leading us on.

It's funny, being a relatively new guy here, I just saw this for the first time today. I was just thinking earlier today while driving that the damn seats won't stay clean. I was going to blame my wife since her side seems to be the worst :thumbs: .

i just got back from the dealer and all they said that they can do is clean them. and they didnt even do a good job.. it takes me an hour to clean them.

 

then i asked if there was something else they can do and he just gave me a phone number to call

 

its for gm customer service. i dont know what good it will do but if you want to call here is the number:

800-222-1020

 

 

oh also he found the old bulletin from oct 2. 2007 #07-08-50-018a

and it just says that gm is aware of the problem but there is no parts availble to fix it..

 

lame! if i would have known about these seats i would have bought leather.

It is really lame that they have not changed to a better material. (or one that doesn't attract lint) My 06 Accord SE had black interior that was horrible about attracting lint... it is a pain.

Sweet, I was waiting for this thread to resurface :thumbs: .Some will never go away. If anyone has the $$$ to spend, go with Katzkin seats. They are great. I have a previous post here that has a contact number for someone wanting to go in this direction. I have not used a lint roller since the day I switched them over to leather.

how much were your katzkins? and did you put them on yourself? how hard was it?

 

I bought the 2 tone seat covers, and they were about $700.00 shipped to Canada, and I had an upholstery shop install them for $400.00. However, I had gone into my GMC dealership and convinced them that should pay for 1/2 since there was a service bulletin out on the existing seat covers. So they covered the full cost for installation and part of the material. I think at the end of the job I had paid about $600.00.

      There's some truth to the above, but also, she's selling fullsize trucks and bread/butter CUV's like hotcakes, meanwhile, extracting GM's pickups from the deep discounting sales game.   GM's stock has held its own during her tenure, and the more recent buybacks are delivering cash back to investors and signal confidence in their direction forward. Even with the EV losses.   GM is an example of a modern publicly traded company. The #1 goal of any publicly traded company is to deliver the most value possible to shareholders. Despite being a car company, building the best car isn't GM's path to delivering maximum shareholder value.   McDonalds doesn't make the best burger, or the best coffee.   I've mentioned in another thread, I really don't / won't ever understand Cadillac or Buick in a modern context. Both brands are completely dead to me. I'll cede that the Escalade is a nice SUV, but the brand and nameplate mean nothing to me, and GM will never persuade me to pay north of $170k for a gussied-up Tahoe or Burb. Other people don't mind doing that and that's their purview.   The C8 shares absolutely nothing in common with any other current Chevrolet or Corvette on the market. Since its introduction 8 years ago, it's developed quite the following. It did what other Corvettes couldn't do: reduce the average age of its buyer. GM has something there, and I see them investing in the car. They'd better not mess that up.   We've successfully derailed Grumpy's thread again, but I think this one is meant to be more of a random thought thread so a little wandering is probably OK.

      Sliding doors ftw   Also, Sienna ftw as well.  The in-laws got a 2024-2025 recently when their 2019 sienna was totaled due to a deer back in June.  They've been getting 38-40mpg on the 65mph highway they live on.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      Forgot to mention that this started after changing the oil I use mobile 1 full syn with mobile one filter but I did add pro lube additive and was the first time doing so and is making me wonder just can't see why that would matter

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      I apologize for long post put going to try to explain everything. Parts replaced so far: Cam sensor Crank sensor Cam phaser valve Cam phaser solenoid Fuel pump Maf 1 injector Pcm Pdm   So about 2 weeks ago coming off the highway my 2007 yukon xl with the 6.2 stalled and would restart. Had unit towed back to house and I messed around with relays and unit started. Drove it the next day and same thing. Had it towed again. Scanned unit and had code p0300 with misfire data showing mainly cylinder 7 but I know that won't cause a no start. Measure fuel pressure and found only 42 psi replaced pump to have unit stall again and not restart. This time I stayed on back roads and just waited for it to restart about 30 to 60 min. During this time I found I have no injector pulse but have good power at injectors. Started unplugging 1 injector at a time and found when unplugging cylinder 7 pulse came back so i changed injecto and same issue. Turns out unit just happen to ready to start at that time. Scanned into unit and found no reason for the pcm to take away injector pulse so I replaced the pcm and same issue. I figured timing sesnor controlled the injector pulse so I replaced both sensors and while I had the water pump of i replaced the vvt components while i was in there. Read multiple people have luck chaging the maf for this issue so I changed it. Unit still stalls to this day and loses injector pulse on the ground side when it does. Have noticed watching the live data the pcm is request injectors to fire via injector pwm value. I have redone the ground wires at the left bottom of the block knowing this was the ground location for the pcm but still no luck. I am a mechanic by trade but this is having me pull my hair out. If anyone has something to have me check I will gladly im not much of a parts thrower but im about to load the cannon

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      Actually.  Wait.   I just re-read your original post.  Are you talking from INSIDE the truck you have to hit unlock?  Or from the key fob?  I had assumed from the key fob.   IF you are talking the inside unlock button, I assume you are shifting to park and its not unlocking the doors?  If so, that is changed via the settings page in the radio.  Go to SETTINGS, then VEHICLE and then it should be under LOCKS or DOOR LOCKS or something like that.
