So while cleaning out the inside of my truck today, i found this. It was in the rear passenger side area, in the gap between the seat and the lower seat belt area. Anyone have any ideas what this is?

Ok well, the only bar it fits on is the center seatbelt upper bar (the one that sits up just above the back glass ), however it already has a 2 piece cover on it. If i take it off then this piece snaps on perfectly. I just cant make both pieces work together tho. Idk maybe its an adapter for moving the seatbelt up a few in inches to acommadate a car seat. Idk

There are two of them one behind the right back seat and one behind the left back seat. They are off center closer to the outer edges. They clip on the a u-shaped metal piece that is welded the the back of the cab. The seat backs have a flat bar that slide through the u the rubber piece snaps on top of the u. It keeps it from rattling. If you look over the top of the seat with a light you can see it its painted white. You can get you hand in there from the door side of seat it very tight. Mine would not snap on had to zip tie it on and will never come off again. I had to unblot the seat at the floor I think it was six nuts to remove and move the seat up off the bolts and out a pain in the ass to do but was the only way to get to it to put the zip ties on. You can see if you can get yours to snap on if it does watch it with a light while you try a fold up the seat thats what pushes it off. I looked at the one on the left side and it was all most off but will able to snap it back down and has not tried to come back off. There has been a post on this.

It covers the bar where the seat back retainer slides into I think . Let me get a picture if I can.

Edit: what southern_sierra said.

YOu will have to remove the seat where it is missing to get it back on I think. Note in addition to the 4 seat bolts there are two that hold the seats together in the center plate.

Thanks guys! This is just another example as to why i love this site! The people and everyones willingness to go above and beyond to help!

Thinking back, i am probably safe to assume that this piece was removed or came off when the dealer installed my katzkin leather.

I went and looked and see the location now. Tried contorting my hand to get it back on to no avail. I think ill wait until my first oil change and have the dealer reinstall under warranty since its not an immediate issue with rattling like others on the linked thread complained about. I Really dont want to pull the backseat loose if u can help it.

Another note... sure wouldve been nice if the rear back wouldve been designed to fold down. That way u could chose to lift the bottom for more floorspace OR lay the back down for a flat raised storage area

My old F150 crew had fold down backs. I think this configuration provides more room and you don't have to lift heavy stuff up onto the seat backs.

There was a gap between the seat and cabin rear that was covered by a plastic carpeted panel. I was always afraid I would crack it with some of the stuff I put on it.

When u say "this configuration provides more room... " which do u mean? The ford or gm? Sorry but the way it was written confuses me

I gotcha. I was thinking it would be cool to have both. Where u could lift the bottom up or lay the back down, but im not sure of the engineering required to do this

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Getting greedy...   The AC pump has been replaced at least once per service records, and it's been recharged twice since 2018 or so, in approximately 2 year intervals between those charges.   It was done at the same shop...clearly they were enjoying the revenue of recharging the system periodically versus actually tracking down and fixing the leak. I learned that the owner was 88 years old when she passed in 2023, so maybe they assumed only a temporary fix was needed anyway.   The system is basically empty now, the compressor spins freely, so I'm guessing it "just needs a recharge".   I vacuumed it down, and it has basically held overnight. Doesn't appear to leak under vacuum, check! So it must leak under pressure. I don't have a way to pressurize the system and pressurizing it with shop air wouldn't be great for the air dryer (which is probably toast anyway?)   The dryer (accumulator? I'm not an AC expert) has a Schrader valve, but the high side has an old ball-type valve, which are notorious for leaking. It's clearly had schmutz blown out of it at one point because the line/area next to the valve is coated old black crud, which I assume is AC refrigerant residue/oil, or maybe even dirty dye. I think I'll roll the dice and replace the valves. I have a black light around here somewhere so I'll find it and shine it around the engine bay in the dark to see if there's any dye.   I can't think of another way to track down the leak other than injecting some dye (if it doesn't have any) and having it charged up. We can't buy R134a off the shelf here anymore, so I'll run it up to Jiffy Lube and have them do it. I think I have a coupon. At the very least, the charge should last long enough for a year or two, according to history. I think this truck will be long gone by then. But cold AC is a selling point.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By clowe1243 · Posted

      Got the truck back today.  Called them yesterday to get an update, and miraculously my truck is finished?!?! The $13k out the door was complete bullshit!  Ended up being over $14k.  They added some bullshit service bulletin that I cant even find, where they replaced my radiator without telling me or asking me, and charging me for it.  Need to do more research into it, cause they leaked the first delivered radiator was ran over by FedEX.  Sounds like bullshit to me. 2.5 Months for an engine swap, which ended up being remanufactured, not new; ****ing ridiculous.  Brakes are squishy as hell, not sure if its from sitting.  Will give a couple days to see it that figures it self out.  GAVE IT BACK TO ME WITH 1 GALLON OF GAS!  Just filled the tank the day before drop off, more bullshit.  My dash cam SD card was formatted, not really much I can do about that. 3 year, 100k GM warranty at least.  Time to sell it and say **** off to GM.  Bad experience.  Cant wait for the survey email to come through.  Overpriced Raptor R, here I come!

      Radio Update

      By haoleboyZ71 · Posted

      If I forget the phone in the truck, and forget the truck in the phone, and reconnect.  It works great for the day.  Truck sits overnight, and the next day is a no go.  It will connect Android Auto via usb cable, but not bluetooth.   Ive tried Everything in this thread so far, and nothing works for more than a day.   I think I might have to go to the dealer and have them flash the pcm.   thanks for all the suggestions guys. 👍

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      2022 2500HD Crew Z71 Duramax single alternator.  Recently had the primary (water pump / fan) belt tensioner pulley bearing to fail while hundreds of miles from home of course the plastic pulley melted and belt shredded which took out some wiring. Found a replacement tensioner assembly and belt to continue now would like to find a replacement for just the pulley and bearing to have a spare assembly in case of a repeat, the rest of the tensioner is fine. Has anybody here found a correct replacement part for just the pulley and bearing? Any help is appreciated.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Atlas · Posted

      +1 for the 3.0   Perfect for 1500 pickup towing duties.   Perfect engine for a 1500 pickup period. Huge torque at stunningly low RPM makes it feel a lot lighter than it is. The fuel mileage is insane for a tall and heavy 1500... 30+ on the highway. Mid 20's around town.   It's probably not perfect if you bought a 6.2 for the braaaaaaapppppp V8 noises and wrapping it out to 6k. The LZ0 acts and sounds like a small turbo diesel and there's nothing you can do to make a small turbo diesel sound like a big one, and you can't make an inline diesel sound like a V8 diesel/big Duramax. It's a different driving experience altogether.   Drive one, I think you'll like it, though...
