I have posted in the past about my Driver Side Power Seat Not Functioning.....anyway...this Seat has been nothing but trouble since the truck had 6K miles and it experienced a Short in the Backrest Wiring Harness....anyway, here we go this next visit to the Dealership will be visit number 5 I think for Seat related issues, basically my power seat is still inoperable, however it will randomly work. So far we have Repaired the Backrest Harness, then Replaced the Backrest Harness, the Replaced the Bottom Cushion Harness, we have also replaced the Memory Seat Module....basically it is giving a Short to Ground DTC in the Tech Two....also my Power Pedals are Inoperable when the Seat Goes....I'm pretty sure they are tied into the same circuit. The only thing that seems to work well is the Heated Seat Portion!

 

There was also an error code for the Onstar Communications Antenna stating it had a Short, they will be checking this also....and I also have a a problem with the Auto Climate Fan in the Headliner, it is making a loud buzzing....is there any bullitens out there on this?

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do....I am to the point I am getting very frustrated, and I am also getting about out of warranty...I'm sitting at 32K miles now. What is the best way about going and getting this fixed, I'm tired of just throwing parts at it!

Well either you understand electrical wiring or you don't. If you don't, then your options might be to ask if a factory technician (expert) can be called in to find this problem being as you have returned it so many times.

 

With electrical problems, some technicians will have a better understanding of these things and will be more skilled at finding the problem. The squeaky wheel gets the grease!

 

Or your state may have a "lemon law", if they can't fix it, mention this law and see if you get results.

Be ,calm and rational, and explain your side to the service manager. Tell him and her that the numerour trips are uncalled for and that you do not want the vehicle back until it has been completely repaired. If this cannot be met, start researching your lemon law.

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
