b1gted, I went to have them look at the seat today and they are going to replace the entire seat bracket (similar to your situation). However, they said I could have a bracket installed by Tuesday/Wed of next week. I am not sure whether I should believe it or not that they will get the bracket in that time due to your prolonged waiting...

 

The service advisor was very limited in his words and none of them gave me screaming confidence that it will be here next week.

 

Keep me posted on what you find out. Thanks for the heads up.

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.

I bought my LTZ in July and have noticed it pretty much from day one although it feels like its getting a little worse (or more sloppy) over the past couple weeks. I have about 1600 miles so far and wasnt sure if it was the seat cushion. As much as i try to replicate the movement manually, i cannot and it only does it during cornering and braking/acceleration, but it is extremely aggrevating. Now that i know i'm not the only one, i'll try to find time to take it the dealership and start the process. (Also the rear tailgate has never opened or latched properly, (since it was on the lot new) but who has time to keep taking their new vehicle in for service), so i'll probably just keep slamming the dang thing to get it to close fully until i take vacation to get it fixed. I had taken it in once and was told they agreed it was bad, but couldnt adjust it and it needed time in thier "body shop" to investigate further?

I too got a new seat frame and it fixed the issue. And, those of you that don't have time, just get a loaner. It should be free with warranty issues

Can anyone that had the actual seat frame replace, can you post a copy of the work order?

Hey there,

 

I do apologize for the delay in responding. I have checked your case notes. Your agent is continuing to work with your dealership and I am reaching out to some of my internal resources to see if I can answer all your question regarding resolving your moving seat issue.

 

Thank you for your patience,

 

Jennifer T.

Any updates? My dealer said seat adjuster needs replaced, but several other people have stated they got an entire new seat frame and it fixed the issue? Is this an option? I mean, what is my dealer waiting on? I know it only been about 10 days, but My seat is terrible and moves so much that I am starting to regret my purchase of a first year design change. If it wasn't the seat I sit in every time I drive it, I might be a little more patient, but when I read that other people are getting theirs fixed with a seat frame replacement, and I was only told that they ordered a seat adjuster that is back ordered........

Seat frame was replaced today at the dealer and it is like new again. All of the slop is gone and it feels nice and tight (so slop or slack in the seat). Haven't driven it too much yet, but so far so good (knock on wood).

 

b1gted, did you get your seat yet? My dealer ordered it and received it in less then a week. Sounds like your dealer may be confused or jerking you around...

No. My dealer ordered a seat adjuster. Not the frame. Not sure wtf the deal is. I can't believe there isn't a database telling them common problems seen and what to do about it. I haven't heard from them or anyone about it yet.

Hey fellas,

My 14 SIlverado, with the 40-20-40, electric front bucket, is also developing identical "movement" or clunking issues that you are desribing. the movement started slighty at about 10, 000k and now my truck is at 13, 000 and it's definitely more noticeable. Is there a known fix for this?

Mine just started this as well.. I have an LT with power bucket seats. If i go over a speed bump it feels like the seat is going to launch me into the passenger side.

My dealership fixed mine. Ordered a new seat frame from what they said. Now mine is moving again and I'll be back to the dealership.

Let me know what comes of your secind trip back after the seat frame was replaced. Mine is doing it agajn after the frame was replaced. It was good for a couple of days but then returned quickly.

 

So it sounds like this is not just an issue with bucket seats but also with the split bench. Does everykne have cloth seats with this occuring? All power seats I imagine?

Stealership called yesterday and said they were ordering a new seat frame again. I imagine this can't be good for the bottom line. Hopefully GMC will come out with a permanent fix soon.

K want to see the frame with the seat off to see if tere is an obvious reason for the slack in the framenthat can be fixed outside the dealer. I dont want to be replacing seats once a month.....

 

It seems there are enough people with the issue so I would tend to agree that this has to be on gm's radar by now

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      I really appreciate the response.  I guess I was confused about torque angle vs torque angle yield.  The individual bolts don't have a warning on reuse but the part number for the LCA nuts does.   Regarding the purpose of the moog grease fittings on their bolts .. Guessing to reduce possibility of corrosion locking the cams or seizing to the bushing inserts.

      The top speed is software limited, I don't think there's a way to change it without de-doing the whole truck. If you can get a CAN log per my above post we can try seeing if there's anything obvious going on. What happens when you plug the truck in to charge it, does it ever fully charge up or does it stay at low battery %?

      LCA bolts

      By newdude · Posted

      The LCA bolts are NOT a one time use fastener.  GM does not have them called out as such at all.   They are torque plus degree, but not a one time use TTY.  Nowhere in the service manual does it call out for replacing the LCA bolts for being one time use.  The factory spec would apply to the Moog bolts as well.    I see two things different.  The Moog bolts are greaseable (which I see no point in) and they don't have one of the washers welded to the bolt like the factory bolts, so they can be used in all 4 positions.      Think about it.  The LCA bolts are now the alignment adjustment point, instead of the UCA bolts like the prior generation.  A bolt that is meant to be adjusted for alignment...would it make sense to make it a one time use component?  How would you get an alignment done in the first place?  You couldn't.       Also.  What TSB exactly?  There is no TSB that I see for 2019-2026 for over-torquing LCA bolts.  There was a PI, PIT5533C, but that covered 2014-2018 body trucks for re-torquing LCA mounting bolts.  But those trucks to a 2019-2026?  Not the same, so PIT5533C does not apply.

      Nice looking setup!  Is this the kit you got?  If so 211 is a great deal!  https://accessories.chevrolet.com/product/trailering-camera-system-86584184   My TT came with a wireless rear camera but it only works on an app or a separate screen they sell so I've decide it's not worth the hassle since it keeps disconnecting and with wireless android auto it's a hassle trying to connect my phone to it.  So I've been thinking about adding the GM camera so it's integrated into the rest of the camera views.   I also found this one which seems to be a different PN & retail price that explicitly states the invisible trailer view https://www.shopchevyparts.com/chevrolet/2024/silverado-2500-hd/electronics/85825715-silverado-2500-trailer-camera-transparent-view-requires-trg-camera-provisions-p-92326971.html?sort=2a
