So, are the seat COVERS moving or it the seat itself moving? Installing a holder for the seat cover (when the seat is moving) seems (I'm sorry_) "uninformed".

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.

Amazing they didn't notice this during the millions of miles of testing they claimed.

Yeah, it's amazing how so many components go to crap when they are in the public domain. Then you get to pay the cost to fix them! All those millions of miles of testing. I thought GM knew how to build stuff, the 700R4, 4L60 E, 6l80, and the 8L90 all problematic, GM is in court all over the country, all because they tried to save a couple of bucks building torque converters on the cheap and charging for a quality converter. Instead they got converters that give the tranny a belly ache. I had an 06 Avalanche, one electrical problem after another, cheapie switches in the door, an old jamb switch out of a '65 Impala would have done the job. Those instrument clusters in the '06s, yeah they were clusters all right, that's for sure. Now we HAVE to have the tranny computer INSIDE the tranny! No wonder the techs are leaving the field of automotive maintenance; look how they build their stuff!

I have a 2015 Silverado LTZ. 136k miles. It has the moving pedals and seat. I never know what they are going to do, the seat sometimes moves forward when you open the door from the outside, sometimes backwards, sometimes there is no movement at all from the rearward or forward positions; funny, it's never in the middle, almost like there is a poor connection (this just occurred to me) so, I will check the plugs under the seat, spray some DeOx2 (an electrical contact cleaner and lube) and see what happens. My scanner shows no codes in the BCM.

Checkout this video on you tube. After living with this for 10 years I can't believe it worked. Honestly.. and the best part is it's like a $6 part.

#PIT5542: Front Seat Lateral Movement and/or Unable To Install Front Seat Lateral Retainer When Performing PI1376 Or PI1183 - (Jan 25, 2017)"

For this fix you will need a flash light, zip tie, and GM Part Number 13405675.

That video couldn't have made the fix any simpler. I too have that problem although it's more of a minor annoyance. Only happened mostly when turning left. After watching that video, I may just tackle this and see if it works. The only thing that wasn't exactly clear was the trimming of the part if needed. I imagine that with the part in hand though, if trimming is needed, it will be more obvious. Thank you!

Yeah, I test fitted it and it seemed to clip fine, I ended up trimming mine a bit with a dremel on slow with a sanding tip anyways. If you pause the video you can zoom in and read the SB and it states you "texhnician will have to trim part." So I just trimmed it. 

 

 

 

It did seem like the slot that should go on the outboard most flange of that crossbar it clips onto didn't really engage over the flange. So I just clipped it to engage fully on the white clip and tested it and it was fixed. So I just zip tied and called it done.

 

 

 

Hope it helps

Ha! It cost me a grand total of $0.44. I ordered through parts.chevrolet.com and chose to pick it up at a local dealer so no cost for shipping. I used a code that is active right now BODY20 and then used my Chevrolet Rewards to pay for it. All I had to pay was the tax. I should have it in about a week.  Thank you @Julian F

This by far was one of the easiest mods I've ever done.

 

After 2 weeks of no notification from dealer that the part had arrived, I called up there. Parts guy says the part came in 2 days before and no paperwork. He said it's just been sitting on his counter. He went into the system, found the order, and it had a note that the payment failed! Payment on my end was just going to be $0.44. I told him I would pay it on pickup. When I went to pick it up, he said don't worry about the balance so it basically was free! 

 

I had downloaded the service bulletin to find out what needed to be trimmed off and it was pretty straightforward. I used a small hacksaw and about a minute later, I was done. It took all of a couple seconds to pop it into place and then about 10-15 seconds to zip tie it. Stupid simple. I haven't had a chance to drive it yet but hopefully this cures the annoying slight shifting feeling in the seat base on turns.

Looks like it is a success. No more clunking. The seat does feel a little  different as well as nice and solid now. I wish I had done this sooner.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
