It's a fact, Jack!

Partial quote from campaign 15822

 

Important: All vehicles previously repaired with a modified seat side shield do not require any additional repairs and the recall is considered closed.

Use the following steps to install a driver’s side front seat belt tensioner bracket, install a new revised seat side shield, and inspect the flexible steel cable and cover that connects the driver’s side seat belt to the outboard side of the seat.

 1. Move the driver seat to the full forward and full down position.

Good to know that its in the campaign that way and not just a dealers opinion. I am somewhat surprised with GM, I never thought they would make this right.

Do you have a full copy of the revised campaign, I can't find any updated ones on the web?

I'd like to see the revised part before I consider them making it right. I suspect its just "order the part, which comes pre-trimmed". I don't think that's much better than a dealer doing the recall that trims neatly.

Just had mine done a couple of weeks ago and of course they cut mine. They actually did a decent job with the cut but wish I would have waited now.

Because of this forum, I asked my service advisor if there was any way they could do it without hacking it up. He talked to the lead tech and the guy was able to make it work. Looks like nothing changed. If any one is near simi valley, ca, go to simi Buick gmc and ask for Jeff Hightower. Knowledgeable service advisor who builds classic chevys.

Just got off the phone to schedule the seat belt and air bag recalls (and oil change) and glad to hear I have to wait a week as they have order the full side plastic shield of the seat. The fella told me its because GM heard too many complaints about the cut/hack job and they just started doing this a week or two ago.

 

So making your voices heard was a good thing, they did listen.

My dealership told me to pound sand. Said that what was done to mine (the hack job) was the latest recall. Said there was no update and couldn't get me a new panel.

The new shield still has part of the rubber cut out, it's just done at the factory by machine. The "full side" piece they are talking about will be the entire left-side trim piece with the pre-cut rubber section already attached. It looks better than a dealership hack job but you will still have an opening in the rubber around the seatbelt ...

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
