For those that have replaced the bench seat bottom cover......I'm trying to get the seat belt cut outs/trim pieces to sit flat in the foam padding, which I'm also replacing.

My question is: should the snap trim piece on the back of the seat cover (see black piece in the pic, white piece was the OEM) come from under the seat foam pad to snug the seat belt cut outs down into the foam? Or does the black snap trim piece stay affixed right under the seat cover to the gray channel piece, as it is now in the pic?

Brand new GM door seals for my daily driver M1008A1
Will install hopefully this weekend.
They arrived today.

Old ones are decent, just want new ones.

Mine's been sitting in the driveway for the last two weeks while we vacationed at Bellows AFS in Hawaii. Wrangled another beachfront cabin- 60' from the surf. While there we watched the Army drop and pick up soldiers in the surf down the beach. I didn't take any pictures of the military vehicles; they didn't seem like they wanted us doing that, but I got some pictures of the Osprey and some choppers.

I haven't tried to start it but confidence is 95% it will; it always does.

Put a sleeve on the front output flange of my transfer case.

I was going to fix the leak by swapping cases but plans to do that were foiled by the lack of one bushing to install in my spare transfer case. At least this way I won't be dripping oil everywhere I go, and I will have more time to put the other transfer case together.

Also thinking of getting a M1009... maybe.

There is nothing wrong in using a "speedi-sleeve" . It has been a normal fix for decades and a permanent one at that. Just keep running your old transfer-case now that the leak has stopped.

I had a left turn signal on Crown of Thorns M1009 that was intermittently inoperable. It would work fine on the 4 ways but the left turn was dim on the left rear only. I switched flashers and then the 4 way would act the same way as the turn signals. I switched both flashers and eliminated the entire issue. It seems a flasher was causing the issue. Which one I did not care. I replaced them both with electronic flashers and done away with the problem. I also had a right rear side marker lamp that was inoperable. I tried to repair the wiring it was bad inside the plug at the rear sill. i replaced the entire right tail lamp harness and discarded the old one. I am getting it ready for the annual Pennsylvania safety inspection. I take it right to the dealer. Safety inspections are something I do not skimp on. It is a Diesel so it is exempt from emissions.DSCF2889.jpg
