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.

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.

      That makes sense, and I agree with most of that.   I think the product would need both: 1. a default powertrain template, so it is useful out of the box; 2. user-selected priority parameters, so the owner or shop can choose what they want to see first.   Different users are going to care about different things. One owner may care about oil pressure and voltage. Another may care about misfire trend, AFM/DFM behavior, or U-codes. A shop may want communication events and repeatability first. Your baseline point is probably the most important one. Raw data is not very useful unless the report can show what normal looked like for that vehicle under similar conditions.   The way I would think about it is: - start with a basic known-good baseline - learn normal behavior for that specific vehicle over time - allow the event to be overlaid against baseline - show whether the event was a one-time spike or a repeatable pattern - provide a simple severity level, but with clear limits on what that severity means   For example, early severity could be something like: - Info: event captured, no obvious abnormal pattern - Watch: value moved outside baseline, but not repeated - Warning: repeatable abnormal pattern under similar conditions - Critical: communication loss, voltage drop, bus-off, reset, or severe repeated event   I would not want the first version to say “replace this part.” That would be overclaiming unless there is repair-confirmed data behind it. It would be more honest to say “this pattern deserves inspection.”   On the OBD port question, I think OBD absolutely has a role. OBD is probably the right place for: - DTCs - freeze frame - VIN - calibration information - normal scan-tool parameters - Mode 6 / enhanced diagnostic data if available The reason I am still looking at an ECM-side recorder is that the failure may happen before anyone connects a scan tool. If the owner plugs in a scanner after the event, the pre-event evidence may already be gone unless the ECU happened to save it. So I do not see this as “OBD versus ECM-side.” I see it more like: - ECM-side recorder: always armed, rolling buffer, event evidence - OBD/DLC companion: DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration, normal scan data - phone/cloud: status, notes, upload, report generation, notifications   I agree that phone connection and push notifications would be useful. I just would not want the phone or cloud connection to be required for capture. The recorder should save the event locally even if the phone is not connected. The phone should help with event marking, download, notes, upload, alerts, and report viewing.   For a default GM V8 event report, would this list make sense? - RPM - calculated load / MAP - throttle position - vehicle speed - gear / torque converter state if available - coolant temperature - oil pressure - oil temperature if available - battery voltage - commanded AFM/DFM state if available - actual AFM/DFM state if available - misfire counters / roughness by cylinder if available - fuel trims - relevant U-codes / communication events - bus-off / lost periodic message / module reset / voltage drop events Which of those would you remove, and what would you add?
