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.

GM is only covering half the cost cause I'm out of warranty. Such BS.

I have a 2014 Silverado crew cab with 600 miles (bought in 2015) that exhibits the seat movement and also has smears inside the windshield glass which is a new one to me! Also had paint issues I really hoped this would be a nice truck. Haven't started having everything reworked yet just wonder if that action will make things worse . Dissatisfied with GM quality AGAIN, I said in 2007 I'd never buy another after buying a new Avalanche and Suburban and should have stuck to my plan. So sad this stuff makes it to market. The windshield issues is unreal, had nothing to do with new model it's sloppy workmanship and care!

Had mine fixed last week with the addition of 2 retainers (13594989 & 13405675) and strap (12337820). So far so good.

 

 

Fat fingered, and shot from the hip.

Add me to the list. Also fixed it for a few bucks at home depot. Hose clamps and rubber. Been a week. So far so good. So much easier than messing with the dealership.

Update - I'm taking my truck into a different Chevy dealer service department tomorrow morning, to have the drivers seat movement issue fixed, under one of the existing TSB's out there (#13310A, PI1183A, or 15304). The service manager I talked with seems like a pretty knowledgeable guy, and ordered the parts for the movement issue beforehand, so they won't be waiting on anything when my truck arrives.

 

I'm also going to have him check the torque on my u-bolts, to be sure they're at the correct factory tightness of 78ft.-lb. We'll see if it will help the "clunking" in the read-end when I'm coasting, and then re-apply the gas. He's also going to check that all of the factory updates for the transfer case have been applied. If nothing else, at least this will be the 2nd service visit on record for the rear-end "clunking" issue.

 

I'll report back in, once I've picked-up my truck. Happy New Year All - Rick

78 psi? Try 78 ft-lbs.

Unfortunately, they're doing the shim kit repair first. If that doesn't work, I told them I'd be back for the seat bottom frame replacement. The Service Manager told me they have done this repair several times for other customers, and none have been back complaining about seat movement. Time will tell......... I pick the truck up on Wednesday and will report back. Rick

Update - Couldn't pick my truck up last week, but hopefully going to get it back today. Will report back on the seat movement "fix."

Just got home, and didn't feel any more seat movement. With that said, I drove straight city streets and freeway the whole way home. The true test will come next time I'm heading out to the coast, on Hwy 1. I'll report back soon.......

Well, I'm beyond Happy to report that my drivers seat movement issue is now GONE!!! I didn't pick-up the paperwork when I got my truck, as the Service advisor was swamped and said he'd mail it to me. Once I get it, I'll post a copy of it, showing the TSB#. Rick

here is something that you might have the dealers try. I had my first seat replaced with one out of a 2015, no movement at first then a slight movement and a annoying squeak/noise from the seat started. the fix was the seat bolts were not tightened enough. they can go a 1/4 to a 1/2 torn past the initial stop point. the service manger torqued the s### out of it and no more movement or squeak. just an idea, worked well for me.

      I wonder how much carbon is on all those high mileage valves?

      AFM Experience

      By Atlas · Posted

      When I had a Bumper subscription for a few days when I needed to run title histories on cars I was looking at, I decided to look up a few of my old/past vehicles.   My 2015 Silverado was still actively registered and it last sold in 2024 with 160k on the clock. No idea if that's on the original engine but someone's keeping it on the road or the original AFM stuff is still going.   It used 0w20. I remember feeding it Mobil 0w20 AFE for the first 30k of its life on <5k OCI's.     Edit: Just did a nationwide search on Autotrader for 2015-2025 Silverados with 5.3's and sorted by highest mileage first.   357k 352k 292k 291k 290k 277k 271k 268k 266k 259k 256k   High mileage on a modern 5.3 doesn't seem all that uncommon, but that's just searching mostly dealer ads on Autotrader. FB Marketplace has all kinds of high mileage 5.3's going back to 2007

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can't say I have ever heard of someone getting that type of mileage out of a set of tires even though they rotated on a regular basis but without a doubt if the front end gets wear and those tires are no longer able to track straight it scrubs them off, and driving style and road surface make a huge difference as well.    However that is not what prompted me to comment as it was the new tire theme of sitting in storage waiting to be used scenario. I am sure some tires can last for quite a while in storage if its not too warm and out of the sunlight but unfortunately some tires the way they their rubber compound is formulated they can age and dry out even in a reasonably decent storage location. My brother ran into this maybe three years ago when he was looking at the tires that were on his dually truck and a combination of wear on the rear ones and noticing that the front tires had some cracks around the sidewall of the tire not far from the bead but he had replaced only the front ones not long ago with 2 of the remaining 6 he had left from the initial two sets of takeoffs he had all bought at the same time .... 10 years ago ! ( the years fly by, a truck that only gets used a bit to haul a camper during the summer and sits in a shed for a large part of the year ). That second set of 6 tires, two he had put on the front prior like I said and they had very little wear but those cracks were now present. So we go into the shed where the other 4 tires had been stored all this time and every one of them had the same cracks in the sidewalls and so in the end it amounted to throwing away 6 brand new but 10 year old takeoff tires into the dump that he got a deal on at a tire shop because they aged out. They were a Ford factory equipment BFG tire and those tires did not age well compared to some tires I've seen far older then that and did not show that type of aging. True, they always say up here anyway that 7 years is sort of a limit for age by rights, we don't have the intense prolonged heat that many of you have down in the states that just cook tires and depends on where the vehicle sits when not in use. GB, another words maybe had you bought a set of tires to store it would have been fine as long as you used them up fast enough but there are no guarantees when it comes to rubber, tires or of that other type stored in some guys wallets 😆

      Open Door Chimes When Key is Out

      By Head South · Posted

      2020 2500 HD...I had some trouble getting the key into the ignition switch but went in fine after applying some extra effort. Since then, the door chimes when open when the key is out of the ignition. Also, when I lock the doors with the switch on the arm rest, the driver door locks but then unlocks. (I can lock everything fine with the fob) The message on the little screen displays the "Engine Hours"...kinda weird.   I'm guessing something happened to the ignition switch and it thinks the key is still in there. I unplugged the batteries for 20 minutes, no change. There are a number of videos on YouTube but nothing I can find that address this specific issue. Ideas appreciated, thank you.
