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.

The dealership replaced the seat adjuster assembly and that took care of my problem.

I did the worm clamp fix and works perfect

no more seat moving and no more noise!

dealer wanted $325 to fix it.

I am so glad that I found this fix!

This mod did stop the side to side movement but I am still getting movement front to back. Anybody else experience this after the worm clamp mod?

Yes, I have the front and back rocking/clunk. The entire seat rocks. The dealer replaced the seat base twice and they say it's normal. Funny when I showed a salesmen he was embarrassed that the service department said it was normal. We compared it to a brand new truck, same body, same seat.....new truck was solid.

Where are you on the height adjustment?  I found that if the seat is all the way down it will rock front to back.  If you lift it up a bit the rock goes away.

Makes no difference in my case

The driver's seat on my 2015 Silverado is loose as well. Brought the truck to AutoNation of Pembroke Pines for warranty repair three times. They never even ordered the parts for the repair as confirmed by Chevrolet Customer Service. Only positive measure they took was to use a plastic tie strap to secure the seat frame, which did nothing to remedy the situation.
After months of dealing with Autonation Chevrolet and the truck now out of warranty I contacted Chevrolet Customer Care. The rep there bent over backwards trying to get my truck fixed at another dealership as I explained to her that I was not willing to waste one more day at AutoNation Chevrolet of Pembroke Pines, even though they now were willing to order the parts and do the repair after being contacted by corporate.
Unfortunately she was overruled by a Chevrolet regional manager who insisted I go back to AutoNation regardless of me having wasted many hours and days there. Now I have a truck out of warranty with a loose driver's seat.
Stay away from this dealership and Chevrolet altogether if possible. The dealer doesn't repair the vehicles as required, and Chevrolet is unwilling to have my truck properly repaired elsewhere. I've owned four GM trucks. One Certified Pre-owned, one used, and two new ones. Truly did not expect this from Chevy but I guess times are changing and business is now being done for the short term.

Buyers beware.

You can buy the clip online for around $6 and do it yourself.  Search back through this thread for the part number (sorry I don't have it handy).

You mean to tell me that these trucks have had this problem since 2014, and that a $6 clip installation by a shade-tree mechanic can fix this? That makes it even more apparent that Chevrolet does not hold their customers in high regards. I'll look into it. Thanks for the info.

Hose-clampa-palooza.

 

I've got more clamps on here than a BDSM festival. Hopefully, the extras on the ends help the one holding the lateral clip that needed a few more cranks of the wrench. If this doesn't work, I'll mix up some quickcrete in a wheel barrow and form a slab. Or just put a small hammock there. If I'm going to slide around everywhere on every expansion joint, I might as well do it in style.

Finally got around to doing the hose clamp fix - been meaning to for awhile now but just never had the parts when I had the time and vice versa.  Anyway, it's nice to drive without the popping seat again and I didn't want to have the dealership "fix" it since most people say it comes back anyway.

Here is the bulletin for anyone wanting to do this. I bought all the parts for like $18. ($11 of it was for the Lube).

Took me 20 minutes to do... more importantly, time saved by not having to leave it with the dealer.

I'm having this issue with my 2015 and well.  I didn't realize it was a wide spread issue.  I will have to take a look at this more when I have time.  Any idea the cost for the parts?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Gas Prices

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.
