If somebody could tell me were to get the part numbers for cloth and leather I could add up the cost myself. MS#DALE has already given the part numbers for the new covers now I need to get the price for those.

 

MS#DALE would GM intertain the thought of this or we barking up the wrong tree?

 

I'm going to say no,But "I think" a couple guys on here got GM to install leather and they paid the difference (from cloth to leather)

 

It wouldn't hurt to ask!

I was at a dealership the other day and looked at the '09 Sierras that had cloth seats and they looked different from my current seats. The only thing was they looked kinda ugly, I did not like them at all. All GM did was change the middle material, but the bolsters looked to be the same material as the current ones. I think I will just deal with the lint on my seats until I can save enough to get leather.

I got my truck back from the dealership today with new seats installed (the only things they didn't complete were the headrests and the back of both passenger and driver's seats). The parts are in order and they will contact me as soon as they come in. Here are a few pics of new seats.

Hmmm.

Those seats look exactly like the ones in my 2009 Sierra except mine are ebony. Are the "linty seats" the same pattern as the ones in TIGREPORVIDA's pictures or are they different?

I am still trying to figure out if my dark titanium seats would be covered? The centers are dark gray, but the bolsters are black. I've called 2 dealerships here, both pretty much blew me off.

I didn't see that colour combination in any of the trucks I've looked at. Is yours a special model of truck or special order or something?

No, it's a work truck option I guess? The truck is an LS, but was factory upgraded from a WT from the factory I guess?

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!! This is my opininon exactly of the supposed fix.

 

I got my truck back today.........The middle looks like it will attract and hold less lint, but is rather "downgraded"?? maybe?? Just looks lower end.

 

The bolsters appear to be the same lint magnets, time will tell.

 

If you can get them to let you pay the difference for leather, do it, if it is reasonable.

 

I will save for leather,..........GM had the chance to fix this, and they took the time to fix this, but they didn't. :cheers:

 

Here are some pics.

Until they get something figured out, anybody have suggestions on affordable seat covers? I've had my truck 3 weeks and it looks like a Chia pet exploded inside.

Do you know if they just worked with their dealer on this or GM directly?

Hello, gundark81.

Maybe, just maybe, if you were to get yourself a big shaggy dog, it would eventualy look like someone loved you enough to knit you a custom set of seat covers.

 

I'M JUST KIDDING!!!

 

Seriously though, I'm in the same boat as the rest of you. I'm still waiting to find out if my 2009 Sierra Crew Cab has the same seat fabric as you. Right now, the upholstery fabric that is in the 2003 Slverado I just traded in, looks better and better.

 

Cheers, lvlagnum.

I went into my service department, showed them the Service Paper and my lint filled seats and came to an agreement with the service manager. They would pay for 1/2 the leather material and installation at a upholstery shop. I went with Katzkin and at the end of the day I think it cost me about $400.00 as opposed to almost $1200.00 if I was to do it on my own. How he did what he did I am not sure (getting GMC to pay for as much as they did), but it solved the problem and gained my appreciation and respect, something that I rarely give out to an automotive dealership.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Another JR · Posted

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
