My seat seems a little loose and it makes a clicking noise. I haven't seen what I can do to fix it yet. . hopefully it's something easy

One of the mounting bolts was loose on my drives side seat. Tightened it down and have not had any more problems.

Is it slop in the track of a manual seat? I have the dual power seats and they seem solid.

 

[XcumminsX]

my driver seat is electric still has slop... the manual seat doesnt. .

 

[CLAYTON]

Mine is a power seat and it still seems a little loose Passenger side is just fine. .

 

[XcumminsX]

well when i got home i looked under the seat... it seems like there is a arm type of device that pivots... Looks like im gonna have to drill out the stupid screw they used and machine my own and bolt it down.

I have electric driver's seat and it's been rock solid since Day 1 (March 28, 2003) which was 24,200 miles ago.

My truck has been plagued with the squeaky seat (very annoying if radio is off) and now it seems my seat-back moves back and forth when I stop then accelerate.



However, before I try any "home remedies" I will certainly put the ball in my dealers court first.

 

[JHardwick]

You guy should quit accelerating so fast!!!!!!



This came up some time ago actually, I'm sure it is in the lead screw/nut assembly that moves the seat back and forth.



I've apparently gotten used to it, because I forgot to bring it up on my last trip to the dealer at 35,000 and change.



edit I just got to thinking ... ... ... ... . I have my seat all the way back now. That's why I don't feel it anymore.

How did get banned for talking about a seat ? BTW mine does not do it when it is all the way back.

Mine wont either. . that's because I can't reach the peddle

Ive found that when i hear the noises i re-adjust the seat and the noises will go away for a couple days. . But then OH YEAH its back ... I got banned because i am a 18 year old that has a 40k + plus that likes to post alot and try to help people out. . And i had some comment about fords and chevys... WHAT A JOKE

That's exactly what I do. It's the only thing about my truck that bugs the ***** out of me. I don't hear a noise but I definetly feel it rock just a slight forward or backward on hard acceleration and hard stops.



I can't figure out what it is, but I think it has to do with the power mechanism because the passenger seat (manual) is tight. I have taken it back to the dealer and they said it was just part of the design. I sure hope this becomes a safety issue and they have to issue a TSB.

I have only the slightest movement in the back rest but the seat is as tight as... well... ah, you all remember.
