I made a post way back when on this thread, probably 6 to 8 months ago when the dealer fixed mine. It's been about 6000 miles since the fix I think, and the click is coming back now.

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.

Just ordered a retainer off ebay...worth the $3 to not make a trip to the dealer. Thanks guys for the info, hoping it fixes my seat movement!!

 

 

Did my install the other day, took ~10 minutes. You do not need to use any sort of 'death wheel' to cut this. Pair of snips and done, the material is soft. Solved my issues, we'll see as a rack the miles up if its a long term fix.

I know this is mainly a topic of the seat moving, but mine has a creaking noise that comes from the back right corner of the seat when driving. I think it has to do with the springs in the seat. It is absolutely annoying to drive. It is a 2015 crew cab with 39,000 miles. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and what can be done to fix?

After my return to the dealer after the part came in, they replaced the entire seat track(clips wouldn't work they said) and I haven't had an issue for a couple weeks. We'll see.

How long did it take them to do it? Dealer ordered my seat track replacement, just waiting for it to come in.

My appointment was at 7:30 AM. I didn't get out of there till almost 11 AM. Might be better to drop it off.

Mine would stop moving laterally if I lowered the seat all the way down but then it was too low for my liking. My solution (so far) was to raise the rear of the seat by installing 5/8 inch thick shims/washers and longer bolts where the seat bolts to the floor and leaving the seat powered all the way down. Much better than having the dealer jack around with it.

Just at dealer (here in Michigan) to get my 2014 done - $235 labor and a $5 part........they had to keep the truck overnight to inform me of costs. No thanks, I'll do it myself!

save yourself $230 and do the hose clamp trick...

I did this a long time ago. No more issues.

 

Bootleg but effective.

Just a question so the black retainer one per seat, goes on the white clip that is on the side without the seat motor, by the door?

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
