How good are these supposed to be?

it was only 17 degrees C this last weekend where I am and I couldn't even barely feel the "cooled seats" putting my hand on the seats is barely cooled.

same with the heat feature. anyone have any idea on how these perform?

 

If it was actually hot out I wouldn't have even noticed that they were on.

What year is yours?? The 2016's removed the cooled portion and is now only ventilated, but my heated seats are way better than my 2014, you couldn't even feel the bottoms of the seats get warm at all and barely the backs, the 16's definitely get warm/hot!! But with my 14 you could feel the cold wet crotch feeling when you first turned on the cooled seats but you quickly got used to it and forget they are even on.

The heat takes 4-5 minutes to get going but once it does you will start getting toasty. On the cooling side my 2014 was the first vehicle that had this feature so can't really compare to anything but I think it works pretty well. I've had it humming the past couple of summers and at times I needed to turn it off because it was too cold.

Mine is a 14. I actually remember last year not being that impressed with the cool future and then went to winter so used heated and those were meh overall as well. just seems like they aren't very good. going to take to dealer for some other issues and will bring it up but was curious if it was noticed by others

I own a 2015 GMC Sierra 4x4 Z 71 with under 6000 miles on it and the drivers seat heating and cooling system makes a popping noise when you touch the back of the seat they replaced the heater element 3/29/16 now it's broke again as well as the bottom one. And they can't blame it on my weight I weigh 117 pounds and i'm the only one that drives it.

I love the look of the new gens and really enjoy it but I haven't had the greatest overall experience

 

I have found that the truck overall has had way to many issues. I am rather disapointed which is to bad been buying GM for 15 years

 

the seats are just low quality. You shouldn't have to think is this thing on?

I have found the heated Seated on my sierra 2014 have been nice. Not as hot or warm as the altima but they do heat up atleast. I only wish they would turn on when you remotr start the car.

They can't blame it on your weight? Don't be so sure. Maybe you are too light!

Mine works well, heating and cooling - steering wheel too. The steering takes less than a half minute to feel it warm up.

Rock1500,

 

There is a setting in MyLink that will turn your heated seats on when you use the remote starter.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
