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 did the fix suggested here with the hose clamps however after about a few weeks it is back to moving. It isn't nearly as bad as before but still noticeable. The clamps appear to still be tight but I think I'm going to try to put another set on the outsides of the white bracket and reposition/retighten the ones on the inside to see if that helps.

Hello Guys it has been a while since I have checked in. I did not spend an hour reading all 511 posts but I wanted to let everyone know that my dealership did fix this seat shifting issue on my truck (heated and cooled leather power drivers seat) by replacing the track. Dealership is Wyatt Johnson GMC in Clarksville TN. They also replaced the leather seat cover on the bottom as the stitching was coming apart. I am officially on a diet now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just put the inside ones on again. Keep pressure on them when you tighten. It will work with the two.

Most report it comes back, so hopefully you can report different in a month or two.

Fixed my seat at 1,000 miles with hose clamp. Now have 11,590 miles and no seat movement. I drive over 100 miles a day and get in and out of my truck 25 plus times a day. [emoji106]

Pounds or kilograms?

 

Just kidding, your seat would be no more if it was kilograms.

Your dealer appears more willing to help than mine. I just had my truck in this afternoon for the recall and asked that they check the loose seat again and I too gave them the bulletin. You can move the seat side to side by hand so I showed the service writer and he agreed it didn't seem right. Well, they said movement is normal, per the service manager, and did nothing, again. I will write a letter to the dealers owner and never buy another vehicle from them! I moved away from GM 10 years ago for quality control issues and after coming back this year I'm afraid they made little headway. Otherwise I really like the truck but this is very annoying and NOT normal. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I wouldnt bother with the owner. I bought my wife a gmc terrain last year and it ended up having an intermittent discharge of the battery that the dealer couldnt find or fix, and eventualy gave up and told me to put a battery tender in. Long story short, i opened a case with a gm ambassador and gm bought it back at full price after a year.

 

You have to be persistent, and never give up. Never, ever, give up.

Just got my truck back and no more seat movement. My paperwork says "Performed PI1376"... does anyone know what that means? The service writer told me they installed some shims and a new clip.

Mine is February 14. Chevy dealership tried telling me it affected early build dates like 2013. I was like whatever. Many people having problems even with 2015 models.

Taking mine in monday for the seat repair. The service man said they were going to install the repair kit? Let you know what happens. My dealer is usually good at fixing problems.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
