    Replacing My Seat Leather

    Yeah I'm sure what the guy used on mine was a cheap seat bottom and it lasted a whole year before it started cracking. Seatshop is worth the money especially if it keeps you from buying a new car LOL. My wife wants the Denali redone even though hers has no tears I am going to do it, I look at...

    Replacing My Seat Leather

    Seatshop gave me a business near here in Dothan where they collaborate with so I am gonna take the armrests there. My wife wants new seat leather in her Denali now, they are not torn or anything but 20YO so if it keeps me from having a car payment I am all for it. I also found new seat foam on...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    After I painted my rear bumper with the $4 rural king can of spray paint the orange peel was getting to me. So I busted out the wet sandpaper and buffed it to a shine. I just bought that little Ryobi mini buffer and that thing is nice for small places.

    Replacing My Seat Leather

    Scuffed up the black controls for some paint and scothbright padded the plastic trim to get rid of that blue. Everything went super easy EXCEPT these armrest covers OMG I give up. I emailed seatshop to see if they have any other advice or to recommend a upholster shop to let them do it. I...

    Replacing My Seat Leather

    Old seat cushion and I am glad I got the new one. The new one feels real firm. Got a new seat heater as mine has been broke since I owned it going on 12 years. So for 12 winters I kept wishing it worked while my wife in the passenger seat is nice an toasty. So the seat heaters I got off car...

    Replacing My Seat Leather

    Yeah it's been YEARS i've wanted to do this partly cost and partly seemed like a lot could go wrong with expensive parts. I just put the drivers seat back in took me about 3 hours. I still have both armrests to recover and repaint the head rest and touch up the overspray from previous...

    Replacing My Seat Leather

    Replacing My Seat Leather

    Thanks! its really not that bad I was apprehensive about it for a long time and was going to take it to a shop. After doing the passenger seat I am glad I didn't.

    Replacing My Seat Leather

    Thanks! Well when I got the truck it was 8yo so leather was already pretty worn but this new leather smells like a new car and I can find nothing but positives about it! Even though my wifes denali is in pretty good shape I think we are going to change the bottoms just to be new again and have...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Pictures posted in the vehicle interior section of the forum. I only have the passenger seat done so far. Yeah the upper was harder but all in all I'd give it a 2/5 in difficulty.

    Replacing My Seat Leather

    When you poke those holes for the pins that go in the cardboard instead of cutting it with a razor I just used a pick and shoved it ALL the way through so the ticker part of the pick spread the hole then pushed the pin through the leather then the cardboard. The clip for the upper wasn't that...

    Replacing My Seat Leather

    More of the armrest clip and how it goes in. Also a curved pair of needle nose worked for me on the install.

    Replacing My Seat Leather

    You can see the difference in the original color and mine. I didn't find removing the seat clips or installing them for that matter too difficult. The armrest clip was a PTA thought a headlight would have been helpful. Of course my drivers seat is goofed up because the dum dum removed it (I...

    Replacing My Seat Leather

    Also I watched the seat shop how to and I also watched lsxmatt matts was good but I followed the seatshop as they do this all the time. Another big thing they are labeled passenger and driver, I wasn't paying attention and luckily I grabbed the passengers lol. Also they stress separating the...

    Just disconnect everything and take your time, also the seat front was pulled off not sure if someone had replaced that seat bottom in the past or not.

    Replacing My Seat Leather

    Pictures as I progressed along, as I was taking it apart it seemed like a lot of wires, when I put it all back together it felt like only a couple wires. It's like driving to a place you never been to, seems to take forever then on the way home it flies by.

    Replacing My Seat Leather

    Been wanting to do this for MANY years, wish I would have done it sooner. When I bought the hoe in 2013 the drivers bottom was trash and the passengers not far behind. I made the mistake of letting a detail - jack of all trades guy "fix" them. He was going to replace the drivers bottom and use...

    TPMS Problems

    My mechanic is stumped as well as google is. I have an idea though, I have a 2005 Denali that I have 4 brand new acdelco gold sensors ready to get installed. Once that is done and they are verified working. I am going to do some tire swapping and relearning (tires same size) and see if the...

    Got this Topdon phoenix lite today https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1MB6YG8?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title I verified the sensor id's are different. When the truck sits everything is fine, I was idling for about 30 min the other day and no problems

    TPMS Problems

    I ordered a pretty nice scan tool with a modern interface, I figured I own two of these GMT800s so it'll pay for itself eventually.

    I changed my aftermarket stereo a while back but back to why would it only affect 2 sensors and not all.
