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.

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Tire fitment

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.

      That’s what I’m wondering is if the stock backspacing of the factory wheels will clear new upper control arms and such
