Make your GM truck seats recline ALL THE WAY BACK!
« on: September 19, 2017, 11:47:57 PM »
I read this on the other sight and have done a couple trucks now. About a 15 minute job and you need a small grinder is it.

You pop off outside the rail cover for the seat you want to do.

You will see the screw that adjusts the seat angle and a small collar on the screw that limits travel. (arrow)

You just grind the collar off trying not to damage the threaded rod. You don't need to cut it all the way through, just enough to pry it off.

Once removed just vacuum and put the cover back on and you have fully reclining seats!!!

Thanks JR.
That is way to easy to be 11 years into a truck and sleeping in the back...
Will have to do this when I get home.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

Ok, that's now on my TDL!

Also gotta figure out why the passenger seat has some slop in the seatback. It vibrates fore/aft over rough roads.
