Was not a joke, some people get very offended if they perceive being called over-weight. With that said, I am a heavier guy and my seat hasn't moved (other than auto-exit/entry mode) at all.

Hang on a second, you said that you were not 6’5”, so I asked if you were 6’4”? When did I call anyone overweight? Trust me when I say I have not been considered “in shape” for a while. “Husky” guys have to stick together?

I adjusted my seat supports as high/firm as they would go, to the point that it was squeezing my babybacks worse than aunt Clara grabbing some chipmunk cheeks.

Drove for about an hour, no change.

I'll keep it going awhile. FOR SCIENCE!

It's been a full day. About an extra hour of seat time than usual.

It hasn't deflated/dropped/sagged.

I'm 260, 6'2", and I do not gingerly place my posterior in the seat.

I'm going to classify as the larger demographic of individual that drives these trucks. No issues.

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like one vote for sink and one no sink. I will have to decide if it is worth pursuing. Or if I am being too (butt) sensitive.

Right at 200 lbs. in a 6"1" frame. My seat 'broke in' over time...allot of time. That said I tend to drive for very long periods of time and by days end I tend to slouch with weariness enough to effect a need to adjust the mirror by mid day. I think even younger more fit individuals tend to loose posture in the course of a few hours. Just an idea.

5.11 225-255 and back and forth etc. In my younger days as much as 33 hours in a seat in all brands of trucks. The only problems I’ve encountered was leather seating not holding up, so I went with cloth. And in my heavy periods if I didn’t pull some slack or untuck my shirt, my belly bouncing would pull my head forward. The results would be that end of the drive I would be wore out from tying to sit up straight. But my seats never broke down.

      It's possible the two trucks are using different body control modules which is why yours works and the OP's doesn't.   So much in these newer vehicles depends on model/trim configurations, production date. They don't all use the same modules like back in the day.

      I forgot to answer the question as per what market mine is set to and yes I finally found that area on mine and yes its also set to America.   So here's something I realized as I wasn't looking at that part in the Sierra section until now, your right that what I see here as choice 3 under Sierra which says 07/2023-06/2026 ( 433 MHz 13542523 ) it has no choice 5 for tire pressure selection. Where as it does under the Chev choice. However I kept going down the list within the Sierra and I am really wondering if choice 9 will work for your truck as it has the same model number and hertz sensor as my truck. I would say try that choice first, if that doesn't work then jump over to the Chev section and again choose that same model and hertz choice as for some reason the Chev section gives the choice 5 of tire type/pressure selection for going back a number of years. Could very well be an Autel thing that they just didn't get the updates all done properly under Sierra but anyway first try that selection 9 I suggested under Sierra and then go from there.

      Anyone have a spare?

      Looking for this piece that holds the hose clamp in place. I have the hose clamp just not that other piece. Dealers and wrecking yards in my area will not sell just that piece. They want you to buy the whole air tube $100 +/- to get that $5 part.  that piece isn't molded to the air tube as I looked at my friends truck. It's held on by a screw and nut. I'm trying to put the OEM parts on the truck as the previous owner butchered things up installing an aftermarket CAI. It really looked homemade. 🤣 Thanks

      Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different.

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?
