So I was able to solve the seat movement issue as a few others with hose clamps. I bought 2 - 1" hose clamps, and 2 - 3/4" rubber clamps and slid the rubber off of those and onto the hose clamps. I bu

whatever... I'm sure 2013 Chevy was perfect and had no issue. I'm sure your 1996 Ford is also perfect and never had any issues ... The truth is that every car/truck, every year has it's issues. Th

Thanks for this.   Just re-quoting for all the new members because I spent about 20 minutes trying to find the fix, with pics.

I have over 5300 miles on my Silverado, no seat issue yet. Makes me wonder why some have it and other don't.

Three times now my dealer has tried to fix my seat issue along with a myriad of other problems with no luck. This last time they told me there is nothing else they can do...literally "nothing else they can do". Thank you GM! Once again you instill confidence in your consumers.

 

Have you all noticed there are no lights around your radio knobs too? They are there. GM can't figure out how to turn them on. See post below.

I'm currently negotiating with GM for a buy back and even that is handled with the grace of a monkey trying to hump a football.

 

Start brushing up on your state's lemon laws. This truck is a nut filled turd.

It would be great if one of those guys who has access to the GM parts diagrams could take a look at the power bucket seat frame and see where the pivot point are. It seems to me you might be able to shim these points to take up the slop/slack, but hard to tell with the seat on there....hence the parts diagram..

Add me to the list of seat clunkers, Mines a 2014 Sierrra SLT CREW seats are leather heated and cooled power. Clunk or shift on braking acceleration at times turning into driveways etc. cant do by just wiggling something is loose. Hate to start the whole argue with the dealer thing, just got back into gm after a hiatus for 7 years hope its not a mistake. Love the truck aside from this. As its my main commuter will have to see when I can do the dealer dance. Don

It may have a lot to do with an individual's body weight. Lighter people probably experience fewer problems.

Funny guy some of us work hard for a living and if this truck isnt up to a 230lb man who can bench his own weight plus. It's hardly professional grade. Not all of us bought it to cruise the mall

I wasn't thinking in that matter, I'm more inclined to think that maybe there was a manufacture change or something along those lines.

I was thinking while weight may be a large factor, that I would be interested to hear if this is something taller or shorter people are experiencing. For the most part, taller people will adjust the seat to a similar positon to other taller people, and the same for shorter people. Therefore there may be some similarity between drivers who are experiencing these issues?

 

I am 6' 5" and 240 and I know I tend to have the seat further back then most due to my legs.

 

My point being that the movement seems to be in the track and maybe if the track is fully extended/back then the track receives less support or interaction with its support brackets. I have been sitting with my seat further forward than normal and the interaction between the seat track and the track frame mounted to the floor is much greater and I havent experienced the movement yet......knock on wood?

 

I wanted to try and shim the space between the floor mounted track and the seat mmounted track portions to see if that helps as the next step. You can see at the front of the track that they have done just that, but I dont see the same shims at the back.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
