Has anyone had this problem that I am having? The passenger seat bottom keeps making a clicking noise while driving under normal conditions. I found the problem being that the seat bottom has some play and the way it is clamped with the frame keeps popping in and out causing the noise. below is a picture of where the seat has play.

My 2015 Subruban seat is moving when I take left and right turns, is there a good fix for this? Is it the seat adjuster? Does the seat get shimmed? Does anyone know?

My truck has 42,00 miles on it so it is out of warranty..

I had the tsb done on my 15 a month or two ago and it's been rock solid since. No movement at all. This is the tsb with the shim kit and the extra clamps (black) next to the white factory ones. Seems to working so far. I didn't have a bunch of left-right movement before, but it was there and i didnt want it to get worse.

 

So far so good.

With this clamp fix, can you still adjust the seat? I'm concerned that I'm going to put this in and then my 5' tall girlfriend is going to try to move the seat and burn up motors or require me to get out a screw driver to let her adjust the seat to where she can use it.

The seat can still be adjusted any way you want. It does not affect the rails/tracks. The clamps just keep the seat in place horizontally.

So this doesn't fix the front to back rocking seen when the seat is adjusted all the way down to the floor?

 

This is for the right to left shift and clunk that happens when turning.

Anyone have a fix for the front to back rocking?

i have this same issue every time i come to a stop the back rest moves foreword and falls back its very slight but very annoying dealer said they couldn't duplicate it i call BS cause it does it at every stop no matter what position the seats in

I found that mine will only rock front to back if the seat is all the way down. If I raise it up a little, no more rocking.

This fix won't hold. I had the TSB done and it worked for about a year or so and then started moving again. Not as bad as before the TSB fix but there's still some play there that has since come back.

I just got my truck back. they replaced (so they said) the actuator and adjusted rails and re-tighten the bolt on the seat. It doesn't make clicking noises any longer but we'll have to see how long this lasts.

    • I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

    • 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.
