So I have a 2015 sierra denali crew cab. The rib has been complaining lately that the seat was uncomfortable and she thought it was the headrest. So today after comparing the passenger seat and driver seat, the passenger seats headrest is either bigger or just angled different on the post. Does anyone else have this or is this normal, or can the angle be adjusted, not just the height? I moved the two and the passenger definitely sits further forward ( hanging over the seat where your back is) than the drivers headrest. Any thoughts or am I just crazy?

If you pull the headrest towards you and let it go it will reset to the "normal" position. I believe this is how you do it. Mine was off and the wife complained about. Didn't know they adjusted that way until I read on here about them.

Ha me too. I feel completely dumb, but that fixed my issue. Glad I tried this site before going to dealership and looking foolish though. I love this site

Just FYI to others that might read this, I believe my LT only does this on the driver's seat...not on passengers. My driver's is the only one with power controls which might have impact on the adjustable headrest option.

Does anyone else find the headrests uncomfortable? I moved mine all of the way back and up and down and can't find a position where it's not sticking into my head at an angle. It seems like the headrest is angled at a weird angle.

I find the headrest on my Base Sierra obscenely hard. The geometry is ok, I just wish it were a little more plush.

All new vehicles are slowing going to this as it is the new safety standard. ”Active Head Restraints”

Weird, I have the same problem but mine isn’t adjustable. My solution was just to remove it. It looks goofy, but it’s more comfortable, and I can see traffic to my 7 to 8 o’clock much better.

How do you get them off?   Mine go to the top with the little button then seem to just stop.

It's not that they are "active head restraints", it's that the angling of the headrest is not comfortable. The bottom sticks out even when I have it sitting as far back as possible.

Hold that button in as you lift the headrest out of the seat. You’ll probably have to lean the seat back or it’ll hit the roof before it comes out. Keep in mind, removing the headrest could result in injury if you get rear-ended.

Does anyone know if any of the BMW headrests will fit? On the newer 5 series they fit flush on those seats. I wonder even if those seats would fit in the Sierra?

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
