Re: Seat Adjustment Problem on 06 AC
Well, I took a look at the problem and I don't mean to brag, but as I stated, there wasn't anything I couldn't fix that the dealer couldn't. And it didn't even cost me a penny.
First off, about a month ago, I recall seeing this metal piece that I'd never seen before. It was laying on the carpet when I was vacuuming my truck. Not knowing what it was, I just threw it in my center console. Usually I'd have that mother mentality and just throw it in the garbage but ironically it was good I didn't.
For anyone that has the manual height adjustment lever on the Tundra, there's two of these metal pins that are connected to a flat bar with two holes on it. This bar is what moves the seat up and down and it's connected directly to that lever. These pins act like cotter pins to keep the bar in place. Simply make sure you have both pins on the bars and the seat works fine.
Attached is a quick photoshop of the pin. Took me 20 minutes to do, and instead of waiting at a dealership, while drinking the nasty old coffee and stuck watching Oprah, I enjoyed a ice cold beer in my own home.
I really wish more people would tinker with their trucks instead of just taking it to the dealership. Like I said, some of these tech's at dealers aren't even common sense smart. God only knows what they would have done to my truck trying to figure it out. And all it was is this stupid pin.
