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.

With all the millions of recalls GM is having right now we are last in line, much like the ignition problems they are having someone will have to have a serious accident before it gets addressed..

Thank you to hotrodz37. Just did this fix with a 3/4" hose clamp and some spare rubber laying around the shop. Works great and no more seat movement.

I too have this problem, 5500 miles. I have not spoken to my dealership yet, but will do this soon. Odd that I can trace this forum thread way back to last year and GM has not been able to fix this automatically for their 2014 vehicles built this year.

I have done the hose clamp and rubber fix to my Sierra and it has worked FLAWLESSLY the past week. I am so happy I can drive without tightening my cheeks around turns :)

Do you have any part #'s off the work order? I'm interested to know what exactly they replaced? Much appreciated and please report back in a couple weeks to see if the repair holds.. Thank you from us all...

I'll let you know. They did it last week and it's been fine since. They had to order in the part took 2 or 3 days. They also totally redid the frame and no more rust or chipping. Total removal of the grease/wax then under coated black. They do about a truck every 3 days.

I did the rubber and clamp fix a week and a half ago and it's been great ever since. It's certainly made the driving experience so much more enjoyable!

I really haven't followed this thread since I got rid of my first truck with its moving seats. I'm glad someone found a "fix" for a problem GM can't seem to figure out.. I'll keep this in mind if I have any issues with mine. Thanks hotrodz for the clever fix. BTW I clamped my adaptive valve open w a hose clamp too lol.

I have moved it every way possible and mine is still holding strong. Go for it!

Is your fix still holding up? Looks like I will be heading to the hardware store tomorrow !

There is supposed to be a redesigned part to fix this issue, still waiting on it to arrive but once it does and gets installed I post a picture.

I went ahead and did the hose clamp fix today and it completely eliminated it. Will have to see how it holds up. Hopefully it holds till the new part comes out.

I have only had my truck for two weeks and maybe it was my imagination, but I was hearing a click when I went around a curve. I didn't feel any movement, yet. So I decided to try to do the DIY fix on page 19 of this thread as a preventative measure to support the existing hardware.

 

The 1" hose clamps were no problem to find, but I wasn't sure where to find the clamps with the rubber insert. Anyway, long story short if you want to do this the clips in the photo below were what I used. I found these in the electrical section (near the electrical conduit) in Lowes. These clamps were 1 inch and I didn't need the total amount of rubber so I clipped off what wasn't needed on the hose clamp. Easy fix, just hope it keeps me from getting the full fledged problem. Ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure?

 

You can see the product and product #. The Lowes item #48633

 

Each pack came with one clamp and was $1.68.

 

Some of you may have already known where to find these, but I had to hunt. I thought I would share the info in case there was someone else like me out there searching for these.

 

You can see the unused clamps and the excess rubber I trimmed off in the picture below.

I had a hard time finding those clips too. I ended up cutting a bicycle tube and putting the hose clamp over that. So far so good zero movement.

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
