Good morning. We’ve almost finished purchasing a 2022 2500hd WT CCSB as my wife’s new work truck. Currently just waiting for the paperwork to be overnighted from Michigan to Kentucky and going to get it next week. 
 

Anyway, due to truck prices and the current inventory shortage we opted for the WT which doesn’t have a power seat. This was also the only truck I could find within 200 miles and that they were selling at MSRP. My wife being 5’2” and had trouble seeing the front of the hood on the test drive but is going to make due. I would like to in the future look at swapping in a power seat. Anybody done this yet?

 

I imagine it shouldn’t be that hard but with everything being ran through the BCM these days I wasn’t sure. 
 

In the mean time I have seen the seat risers from Ohio diesel that we will probably employ to get her by, especially when she starts towing.

Don’t you get the same adjustments power or not? I admit it’s been awhile since I’ve had manual seats they seemed fine for adjusting. Especially since it’s one and done. Not bashing just curious.

No there’s no seat up and down, at least that I could find. It was only 4 way, slide forward and back and tilt seat forward and back.

Ok, the last manual seat I had came with a crank to raise the seat. Mazda 3 I believe. My wife sits on a cushion that’s about 3 inches thick. The unexpected plus her leather seat still looks new after 11 years. Cushions could be the answer.

I am d=facing the same issue. Has anyone done the power seat swap or looked into it?

My understanding is there "may/can be" a bunch of wiring to be added if the truck was not ordered with the power options (This is what I've picked upon in other forums and discussions in swapping '22 GM Tahoe powered seats into my OBS '97 Tahoe).   My suggestion is to chat w/both OEM Seats (OEM Auto & Truck Seats)/Keith at (321) 324-4450 (located (321) 324-4450) www.oemcarandtruckseats.com and Dan at OBS Outpost (407) 284-7466 (also in Fl)   www.OBSOutpost.com.

Both are great guys and have deep knowledge with seat swaps/upgrade/etc.   Good Luck!

I can confirm WT has no height increase via pump or any other ratchet system. My wife is also short and has a 4.7” cushion we found on Amazon. She rarely drives the truck anyway.

I believe there is a thread in the 1500 forum on safely adding spacers to raise the average height of the from seats. If anybody is interested. I was referring to it because I plan to make some steel brackets for underseat storage. Not to lift the seat per SE, but just to use the seat mounts for anchor points for a secure storage box.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
