My 2011 Z71 - Seat Questions

Hello gentlemen. I dont post much here, but I read the forums regularly. I got rid of my 06 Sierra and ordered a 2011 bright Red Z71 Extended Cab 5.3. It took a week to find the red color, but I finally picked it up. I ordered the GM chrome step bars, bedliner and I had a tri-fold tonneau cover installed. I will post pics later. Its a Z71 with the All Star package and GM 20 inch chrome rims.

 

I love the truck but I was wondering if the power seats can recline farther? The seat does not recline very far. Im not trying to "gangster lean" or anything like that, but Im about 6'4" tall and 280lbs so I would like the seat to recline a little more for comfort.

 

Any suggestions?

 

BTW - As Im sure many of you already know, GM has some GREAT purchase and lease options right now! I got my truck about $7000 off MSRP. In my area, GM is leasing Chevy Cruze's for 0 down, 0 due at signing, 159 monthly / 12K miles a year. Malibus are $179, Traverse models are $259 and base model CTS's are $299. I could not find any current offers in my areas for 2011 Avalanche models. I really love my Silvy tho!

Same package on mine. The electrics only adjust the tilt of the seat cushion a few inches, much more fwd / back. You need to use the manual lever on the side of the seat to get your recline almost where you want it and then use the electrics to fine tune. IMHO Chevy did a good job on the adjustment. Wife car has only 5 setting for the recline and thats IT!

I have almost the same truck. Um mine goes back far enough to touch the rear seats. You want to go back farther then that? Not very safe lol.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
