I just told them about it when I made my oil change appointment. They looked it up in the system and took care of it.

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.

You guys that have had the most recent seat fix, do you just tell the service rep what the PI# is that you want done or do you tell them your seat moves and bla, bla, bla? I just want to make sure when I go in for an oil change soon and I address this, it gets fixed correctly. Especially since I have the PI.

 

I gave them a copy of the PI and they ordered the parts. It was pretty painless. They also ordered the headlight bulbs for that update as well

(Unless it has been updated more recently) It is PI1376 and document number 4032264. The following link has all other info including parts needed. Just giving my dealership the PI and document number they were able to pull it up and get the correct parts.

Well I made an appointment yesterday to get my front bumper alignment fixed and the seat movement issue fixed. The service rep knew exactly what I was talking about with the seat and said they had fixed some trucks already so that was reassuring. I'm hoping everything works out that I can get all of this work done in one visit to minimize trips to the dealer. They're a great dealer but a little out of my way which is difficult with my work schedule.

I scheduled mine for the second time. They scheduled me for the 18th and said I need a loaner car since they will have to keep it a few days. I had it "fixed" last year and its doing it again worse this time. I'm hoping this works.

What did your dealer actually do? Do you have the new clip and shim installed?

I haven't done anything yet. It goes in next week to get the first repair attempt done. When I took it in a year ago for this issue, they said they couldn't find anything wrong and I just lived with it since....

I had my 14 back 5 times for the to get it right. Last time they added a shim kit that keeps the pad stationary. Everybody thought the seat frame was moving when it's actually the pad shifting side to side. Seems to be doing ok now.

I had my 14 back for the third time, once for shims and twice for rail kits. The first rail kit was worse than the stock one and now the second one seems to be working. What a joke this has been, all I need now is to get the rattles in the dash fixed and flash the updated software in that piece of crap mylink stereo. I would not buy this truck again!

I thought I had a dash rattle and through the forum, I learned it was a clip in the sunglasses holder. I would've bet it was from the dash. I popped it out (it serves no purpose) and "voila" the rattle was gone.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
