I sure would like a set of those new covers...if only I knew a good parts guy.

Im still a little confused on the seat situation, I do have the newer style as mentioned in the last couple pages or so I believe. My seats have the rough patterned material in the center and a soft felt like material on the out side which collects the lint, my question now is have they since changed the outer material to a rougher type material like the center?

Yes,Its not quite as "rough" as the center,but its not as "soft felt like" as your original covers.

question is....are they using the new style as replacements under this TSB yet?

Well Im going to look into getting mine changed, the lint issue is annoying, also the new material looks to be more durrable. is there a way I can determine if I am able to have the changed.

Well...*MOST* dealers know this is an issue,so you "shouldn't" have any issues getting them changed.

I might see how my dealer responds about getting these "updated" covers. This just a couple months after they put on the SLE-2 first updated covers. The outers still attract and trap lint but it seems to vaccum off easier than before. Still a pain though.

 

Rich, Nice meeting you again. If my dealer gives me a hassle, is there anything you can do?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
