Took mine in today and they ordered a seat track. The mechanic said he's replaced one on another '14. When I asked about the TSB that has been mentioned he said he didn't look into that because he already knows what problem is. Oh boy, wish me luck. Part should arrive at dealership in a few days.

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.

That's a lot better than ordering a bunch of clips or hog rings.

Just got my truck back today from having PI-1138 done on both seats. It took them an entire day to do and I have to be honest after picking the bloody truck up and spending an hour in it I can honestly say the problem is now WORSE!! more movement and play all around.. Will likely wait until a real fix is discovered befoe I waste any more time....

 

Thank you,

Took my truck in for it's first oil change and mentioned the loose seat to them. They ordered a drivers side seat track and said they would call me when it comes in. He said they were re-doing them and are on back order. Pt number 13582540

I believe that's the part number they installed on mine and it seems to have worked. Seat is pretty solid. I'll double check and post the work order.

This seat does not vibrate or move:

Of course it doesn't! But you are stuck with what might be considered one of the ugliest trucks every produced! :pimp: However, the great side sticker certainly helps its curb appeal.

Took mine in today for the recall check on the tranny lines. I'm friends with the mechanic, I mentioned the seat. He ordered a new seat frame and some additional bar for more support. He said he added the bar to a few new ones on the lot. Said the key is to install the support bar on a "new" frame. Who knows if it will work, we'll see I guess.

I purchased a '14 Sierra SLE 2WD Crew Texas Edition about a month and a half ago. Mine is a early build...build date is 5/13. Now I thought long and hard about buying one of the first to roll of the line but I liked the added equipment I got before the Mid year price increase( old invoice). Well now I regret not just getting a newer built truck. I have 800 miles and the seat click is driving me bat a$$ crazy! I'm very,very OCD about things and my dealer just thinks I'm crazy. I'm actually a QC Mgr. I complained about the vibration at hwy speeds...nothing. I complained about the shudder at stop lights....nothing. I complained about the seat click....nothing. Ok so I finally get angry enough to get a lawyer involved and I get their attention. I think this forum helped more than anything. When I showed them that there are problems from a lot of others they finally got their lazy fingers to typing and found out that I'm not a loon. They replaced three of the four GY tires and shimmed the motor mount 3mm....problems solved. Now I'm going back in about the seat issue...they are going to chit bricks. I'm going to demand a new track,frame and support bar...wish me luck guys.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
