Just like the title says. I finally got my heated seats today! I read somewhere online that if you go to GM’s website and put your VIN in under the recall section it’ll tell you if your truck qualifies yet or not. It also says even if you haven’t received your letter in the mail yet, you can still bring your truck in if it qualifies. Called the dealer. Service guy asked if I had received my letter. When I said no, he told me I had to continue waiting. I explained the above scenario and that website said I qualified as of Sept 16th. There was a long pause on other end. Then he said he had to order my parts. Two weeks later I was about to follow up when they called to set up my appt. Moral of story: all of you waiting on seats, go to GM website to see if you can go in!

Good advice.  I did not receive my letter yet, called my dealer yesterday, told him what you said, and now have an appointment on 1/26.  They are going to order the chip.  Thanks.

Awesome! I’m glad I could help someone out. I also asked about my heated steering wheel retrofit when I was there, the service manager said end of 2nd quarter. Well see if that happens.

I will ask about that too.  They are also looking into my dreaded diesel exhaust smell in the cab on start up.

thanks for the information. I printed out my entire recall page and took it up to the dealer, they ordered my parts and will call to schedule when they arrive.

 

On a weird note, as soon as I got back from the dealer I checked my mail and the letter from GM was there telling me my parts were ready. WTF.

I had a recal notice pop up on my screen of my 2022 ltd and called and they ordered the parts.  45 min repair and now I have heated and cooled seats.  Still have to wait on steering wheel and the front collision.

I think my previous silverado would turn on the heated seat when remote started but cant find any setting for this.

Heated seats done yesterday.  Super stoked. as soon as they were done, headed to my place in northern VT, and it was a nice addition as it was 19F degrees here.

Just received mine today. What a difference. Asked about the heated steering wheel and the service writes said they haven’t heard anything about yet.

My dad has received his "recall" for the heated steering wheel but the dealer said all of those modules are on backorder already

    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on. 
    • The average lifespan of automobiles on the road is increasing - here's why
    • Typically it is the Torque Converter, I have a 2.7L Trail Boss and between 25-65 MPH at 1300-1500 rpms under light throttle it has a shudder which I almost consider and bobble or a gargle sound. They replaced my TC but it did not help any, others say it has fixed their issues. It has been back twice now with no fix after.
    • Still $3.01 with even more places at this price
