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.

How about more info on this support bar added to new seat frame. Part number, TSB number. CMILLERJR, you might have found the holy grail of seat movement fix.

Anyone getting a squeak/fart sound from left side of driver's seat when sitting? Same sound as when you move around in an old leather recliner.

 

Took it to dealer and they acknowledged the sound but said they don't have a fix for it yet. As I tried to determine a cause & fix, I discovered it's the leather rubbing against the plastic trim. On the passenger seat, when you press down the leather bows out like normal. On the driver's, some of the leather actually slides down behind the plastic trim and make a loud, annoying noise as it rubs. I shoved a wash cloth way down between the leather & plastic trim and the noise was gone. Unfortunately, this is by no means a permanent fix and having a rag stick out your seat looks like crap.

 

Anyone also have this issue?

Have the exact same issue with my seat! I shoved an Amor All wipe in there, but it keeps coming back. It is SO annoying!

He had to order all the parts, so I don't have numbers right now. Once they do the install, and I get the service invoice I will post them.

 

The recall was just for loose tranny lines, it is very limited (10-15) total out of all manufactured. The recall notice hasn't went out yet. Like PM26 said there is a entire thread on it. Mine was good to go.

Mine did it too, but not all the time. My dealer installed clips under the seat cushion, that reduced the frequency of the squeak. It depends on how you have your seat adjusted. I found if I don't put it up as high it doesn't do it. Again not a acceptable fix on a 46K truck, but for me I fond a spot that comfortable and doesn't make any noise.

Take it to the dealer! They fixed mine shortly after my post. The leather behind the plastic was loose... they're pulled it tight, reattached, and the noise is gone. Still quiet after 3 months.

It looks like it was a bad workmanship issue in your case. It seems that some of these seat issues are design related, but not all of them.

Is your seat still stable after having the track replaced? I have to take mine it for the tranny line recall and would like to get the seat fixed at the same time. Not sure how most dealers are handling the recall but mine actually called to notify me and set up an appointment. I already knew that my truck was included in the recall from the monthly Onstar report.

Took my truck in yesterday at 9:00am (had an appointment) for transmission line recall and seat movement. I was assured it would be ready by 3:00 but after several calls and messages to the service guy I finally get him on the phone and he tells me to come get a rental they are not done. Even the shuttle service is running behind so I have to bum a ride. When I get to the dealership they had not even started on my truck they blamed all the recalls from all the GM models backing them up. I guess they don’t understand how to actually use reservations.

 

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode

Jerry: I don't understand. Do you have my reservation?

Rental Car Agent: We have your reservation, we just ran out of cars.

Jerry: But the reservation keeps the car here. That's why you have the reservation.

Rental Car Agent: I think I know why we have reservations.

Jerry: I don't think you do. You see, you know how to *take* the reservation, you just don't know how to *hold* the reservation. And that's really the most important part of the reservation: the holding. Anybody can just take them.

 

Anyway I asked for my truck back and they seemed shocked. They pleaded for 15 mins more to check it out. They were back with my truck in 10 minutes and claimed my transmission lines were good but they would order some new clips for them and my seat need new retaining clips that they also ordered

 

Needless to say I am skeptical but I will let y'all know if it fixes the seat.

My seat was stable up until I traded the truck in for another '14.

Cmillerjr is any update to this possible seat fix regarding that support bar ?

Nope not yet, the bar is still on back order. They said they hope to get it in next week. I can say my seat has gotten worse, so I hope it gets here soon and does the trick.

Cmillerjr could you possibly find out what the TSB number is on this new support bar fix?

 

bogeypro can you post your TSB number as well when you get your truck back from dealer?

 

My nephew has a 2014 chevy and his seat is driving him crazy. He has already had the frame replaced but movement is back. His seat is the heated/cooled/vibrating accident avoidance style.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By CamGTP · Posted

      I have an Autel, works great for what it is. Can't do some specific things because you need say the GM tool, VCDS for Audi/Volkswagon and others of course. But those times are few and far between for me.   The other tool I'd like to try one day is the new Topdon scan tools. Seen several video's on them and many youtube people review them.    I've never subscribed for updates or payed to do that stuff on my Autel, so I'm sure I'm missing out on some of the updates but I'm fine with that for now.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By AndrewF · Posted

      I am in the market for a bidirectional scan tool so was hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. There are so many options out there it is hard to narrow down which make/model to choose.   I have always done my own vehicle work so looking to maximize capability with the scanner. Ideal price is $1k or less but would be willing to exceed if it opens up significant benefits.  Currently my 24 2500 is the newest vehicle but also have a few mid to late 2010s Subarus as well.    It seems that the Autel MP900 has a decent amount of features at a reasonable price?

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.
