I like them...I don’t know if they are the same one’s off of newer models that also collect lint. But so far, it’s been okay. The insert is different and does not collect lint but I can see how the outer portions could potentially collect. But overall, I can’t complain as it was an improvement from what I had before.

Aren't the inserts in the middle like a plastic y material not nearly as soft as the original. Reminds me of the old old trucks my dad used to have. I had my front seats done when the first tsb came around. They didn't do the back seats so i had two covers in my truck got tired of it not matching with no resolution in sight so i had them switch it back to the original. Now i am back with the lint but don't want to go to the, to me, cheaper insert in the middle seats.

thats kind of where I am at. I think the new covers look and feel loke a downgrade to the covers i have now. Like you said its just the middle area of the seat.

I have these seat covers in my recently new truck. Ebony interior. There were a few pieces of lint stuck to the sides of the seats when I bought the truck. But, after two months of driving; I've had no problems with lint. The side material is definitely the type of material that a lint brush can rolled over and I will probably do that from time to time just because it is. I haven't needed to yet. I find the seats to be comfortable and have no complaints with them. Unfortunately, it sounds like some of you fellas had some real lint buckets.

I should have mine today; I'm not holding my breath or anything though. I’ve seen the seat covers and I think they look nice. But for all the hassles with the service department they had better be done right or I just might come unglued.

I think the new ones look much worse but not attracting lint is a big step up. I've already got the coverking neoprene covers on the front, but I might go ahead and get them replaced sometime so that the backseats are good too. I still wish GM had a better fix though, this is a half ass fix.

I wonder if they would have a problem of me keeping my current lint traps for a couple of years then right before the warranty is up having them swapped out. Then I would have seats that look new. Put the wear and tear on these for a while then get them swapped.

I get my covers installed tomorrow. They are the same looking covers that I have already. we will see if they hold or shed the lint. If they hold the lint I'll see what my next step is.

      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

      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.
