'07 Sierra NBS seat foam


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a 2007 new body style Sierra and I find the driver's seat foam ( the one you sit on) is really broke down...I called the dealer here(Ontario, Canada) and they want 170.00 plus taxes. Is there any place you guys know that to get this cheaper??? I want a Genuine GM part as well.

 

Thanks,

Chris

I have used my local apholstry shop to rebuild even brand new seats that I thought were too firm and hurt my back.

 

So many auto mfgs have gone to these firm seats that to me are not comforatable. A buddy has a 99 model GMT300 Suburban, and those were nice soft comfortable seats. The GMT800s had decent seats, but you don't notice quite so much the changes they make like with these seats when they do it over a couple generations of truck series.

 

Its not a big deal to have them rebuilt with new foam and if you want them a little softer, I am sure they could acomidate you with that as well.

 

Around here they charge about 75.00-100.00 per seat to rebuild the foam in them or to add extra foam padding. Most of it is just the labor of pulling the seats and tearing them down and putting them back together. The foam is not much. I spent 150.00 having padding added to both captains chairs in my 07 Suburban, again the same thing when I added foam to the 09 Expedition I bought to replace that 07 suburban.

    • Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.  
    • Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
    • you might read through the info on gmupfitter.com for your truck, to find a good power source.
    • Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally. 
    • Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
