Re: Hatzies 2005 2500HD

The interior is getting some minor repairs as well. Even tho she only has 85,000 miles... She's almost 14 years old folks.

The centre vent on the passenger side was missing a louver. I replaced it with a good looking one from a local wrecked 2001 2500HD after I cleaned it up with a swiffer duster.
The leather wrapped steering wheel was sticky and shiny and there are a couple lightly worn places in the leather and control buttons. Not too bad but I found a brand New GM 10364490 for $170 shipped. The original is in the attic now. I'll probably get the original re-covered and replace the switches if I keep this truck more than a few years.

New Wheel and used but new looking vent.
The Headlamp, 4x4, & Cargo/Fog switches are new as well. It wouldn't indicate it was shifted into Neutral or 4L, when it was, and the cargo lamp wouldn't light from the switch. Not to mention the burnt out panel lamps. The panel bulbs in the headlamp switch were burnt out and the Dorman switch was $13 vs several hours of my time to fix a worn dirty switch. The other two switches were equally cheap and weren't worn.

It had the AE7 Cloth Centre Jump Seat without the bottom storage GM added to the T900 AZ3 Jump Seat in 2007.
IMHO the GMT900 AZ3 Jump Seat with three cup-holders, top storage, and locking bottom storage is a much nicer bolt-in that looks OEM on the GMT800 trucks.
I found an Ebony AZ3 Jump seat and liberated it for $150.

I'm going to replace the cloth with Leather and put two stage heaters in the seats as well as replacing the 13year old driver side butt foam.
