I've removed the third row seats on my g/f's Tahoe ( we're never going to use them) and bought a "catch all" one piece mat. I can just throw the mat over the raised plastic seat tracks, but if I could easily remove them it would make a much cleaner install. Anybody have any idea what these plastic tracks are attached to ? I really didn't want to get involved with removing the carpet, but I gave them a few tugs and they seem to be attached to something under the carpet.

I think they attach to the floor strikers which hold the 3rd Row Seats in, and they are also glued if they are like the older ones....I'd leave them in there...you will probably rip the carpet taking them out.

Just leave the tracks alone. You did exactly what I did 3 1/2 years ago. 3rd row seats are under the stairs in my house and never see the tracks so don't bother me.

Ya, the only way to not have them is to order the suv without the 3rd seat! My 90 sub 3rd row seat came out the first day and has never been put back...

It's difficult to find a Tahoe without the 3rd row seat, and we absolutely will never need them, but we do need the nice big area behind the second row seats. Maybe someday GM will figure out how to let them seats fold flat when not being used. I didn't think they would put those plastic seat tracks on the floor in such a sashion that it was nearly impossible to remove them without destroying something. I was really just hoping to easily remove the little "hump" that we now have under the new mat back there.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
