I am going to install dynamat and pad in the rear floor and rear wall of my 16 crew cab this weekend. Anyone care to give me some helpful advice or pointers on removing rear seats and pulling up carpet and pad?

 

The seats look like bolts then lift up? For carpet where do you start? Does door and rear pillar trim just pop off? I have the power rear window. Not sure if that complicates things.

 

Anything worry about the rear air bags when pulling pillar trim? Disconnet battery needed?

Besides the 4 bolts for each seat, the seats are bolted together with 2 10mm bolts. They can seem from the passenger and bolts to the driver side.

Not sure on airbags or trim... but I've taken these seats out several times now. Be sure that the metal clip on the back of the seat gets properly inserted when you reinstall the seats.

Do you have to un bolt seat belts?

Nope. I do remove the center seat belt buckle since my kicker sub shares the same bolt. 9ea232ab4e539dae87ec4e0e8f6b68ba.jpg

Thanks. I can usually figure these things out by looking at them, but always nice to get some wisdom before I start

man, I told you need CLD, then foam and MLV, the best spot to start is your roof, doing only the rear is minimal dampening at best, I mean you took the time to take it apart might as well do it right.

 

I have done this handful of times, I get better and better, the roof is damn near paper thin, it really is where most the noise comes from.

Sent @pgamboa a PM because I am still not entirely clear on seat removal process. I took off the four bolts pictured at the top of this post and was not able to get the seat to budge. Didn't want to break anything.

Tilts up from the back, then pulls out towards the back.

 

Edit - rear seats. There are two smaller bolts that bolt the two seats together. Look behind the center seat belt buckle.

There is also 2 small like 10mm bolts that go between the two seat sections themselves that are kind of hidden right above the big bolts to the floor

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
