I had a 2019 denali and absolutely hated the seats, I know a lot of people have complained about them.  Anyone that has a 2022 refreshed model, can you tell if they improved the seat comfort at all?

I got my Z71 refresh yesterday and I can say the seats are more comfortable than my '19 RST even though they look the same. Passenger said the same.

Respectfully, no not at all. Everyone else in this thread and myself tend to disagree with you. I have owned or used all 3 extensively too here on our farm. The GM trucks are the clear winner in the t

Does the refresh have the same style covers and shape as the LTD?

I've been using an AirHawk pillow in my 19 Sierra. Only way I can drive long distance and be comfortable.

I have a 22 refresh LT Trail Boss with the leather buckets and they are comfortable to me.

I sure hope they did change some.  I really love the design of these trucks and with the new OS being Google, if the seats are better really thinking about giving them another try. I just don't really like ram trucks that much, I've had to lemon law fords and am super disappointed with the new tundra.

What did you replace it with?

Mines a '21 denali.

Seat bottom height adjustments for front and rear of seat bottom are separate.

 

Took a lot of fiddling with the front and rear rear height adjustments to get the combination of tilt and height that would work for me. 

 

Truck has 2 drivers that like much different positions.

It would be a nightmare without the memory settings.

The 2014-2020 generation seats are the worst seats ever! I'm in a 2021 Sierra Denali with different design seat and they are ergonomically better but over all marginally better as in they dont hurt like the previous generation. Still too firm. Doesnt look like the seats changed much but the advertising for the massage seat option states they are different and more comfortable. But no one has them yet. Thats what will make me jump also.

I have a kia stinger, was planning on replacing it with the new tundra as I have had tons of issues with the ford and have horror stories about ram.  Don't think I've ever been as disappointed with a vehicle as the new tundra, so now I'm back looking at these after the refresh.

From everyones pictures they look the same. No one has posted having the new massage, improved seats yet. They are an upgrade and will be available on the refresh. One person posted coming from a '21 to the new refresh that they felt better?? But mentioned not an apple to apple comparison due to the new truck not having ventilated seats...which does compromise comfort due to the bubble wrap type design GM uses incorporated into the seat for ventilation.

Well have to get more information when more people get their refresh. 

The seat would not look any different if they made any change it would have been in the foam they used or the moulding method used in making the seat.

 

GM seemed to really listen to the customers on the new interiors I would think they were also listening to customers about the seats.  

 

I wonder if the part  numbers are the same or not?

2022 refresh at4, seats feel exactly the same as my 21 silverado. I had a five hour drive to get my truck...my back felt just as bad on the way back with the new seats as it did driving up in the 21.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.

      Yes.  The 2.7 Turbomax has Active Fuel Management.  It is NOT the same as the V8s.  Totally different system.     Here is an article from GM when the 2.7 came out explaining the cylinder deactivation and the valve lift system.  Starts at the section called "SCS Valvetrain":   New Turbocharged 2.7L 4-Cylinder Engine Powers Full-Size Trucks – TechLink         This is an internet myth going around.  It was alleged that some 5.3s had this mystical 8th digit of the VIN as an "E" which somehow meant it had a new one year only 5.3 that didn't have DFM.  The writer of said article and the person that made the claim conveniently can't count because they posted the VIN.  The 8th digit was a "D" which meant its still the 5.3 with DFM.  The 9th digit of the VIN was an "E" and the 9th digit isn't the engine code.  At all.
