I am looking at buying a 2016 GMC Sierra SLE Texas Edition. The Owner had leather seats, navigation, and other things upgraded from the factory. But he says the seats dont have heated seats yet the two buttons are built in on the dash like every other truck I have seen. Is there a way to hook these up to make it work?

I believe i read through that thread briefly, and thats what prompted me posting here. Seems strange that bezel came from the factory but it does not have heated seats.

I think wams should now have the ability to program the bcm. Iirc they have a bcm program service now. Might be worth checking it out. I swapped heated seats in mine just to have power. I hope to get the heated portion working in the future.

Yea that’s strange it’s def a factory bezel but maybe off a diff model truck that had heated seats in it. Or it has them and they just don’t work. I would def try and get a little more history on it.

You can always look under the passenger seat for the black heat module. As stated maybe the elements or module is defective and the seller just said the truck didn't come with...

that is what i am hoping as i can fix myself and not that it is just a feature thats not possible to obtain. Going to look at the truck in person on friday anything you guys could think of to beware when looking at a used gmc youve seen since you have owned your trucks?

Right on. I suggest taking it to a local shop and have them go over it thoroughly. These trucks can be full of issues.

The leather seats are there from the factory and so are the switches?  I would think that they have to be heated.  Doesn't make sense why it would have been sold that way but not functional.

thats exactly my thoughts, but I am going to pass on this truck too many strange things about it.

Peeps will sometimes DIY or farm it out avoiding insurance cos and getting dinged on resale. Caveat emptor.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

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

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
