Had the seat bottom TSB performed on both my 21 Tremor and 22 Raptor and it does nothing.

I am actively having this issue on my 37PP 2021 - you can feel it shift while making turns. (i can make it move with my hands as well) Are you saying this did zero to help?

Well.. I had the same exact thing in my tremor and now raptor. They performed the TSB on the Tremor and it still shifted. My Raptor was literally just picked up for a laundry list of problems. When I get it back in 4 months we will see if the problem was solved this time around.

I have a 21' 37PP and had the truck a the dealer for the exhaust rattle. While it was there I had them take a look at the seat for the same issue you guys are talking about. It was before I saw the TSB and all they did was tighten the seat track to the floor. It made no difference. I just jumped on here searching to see if anyone else is having the issue - low and behold there is a TSB. I took a look at it and wondering if its even worth taking in for some rubber hose and heater clamps. Obviously its a band aid while they figure out a better fix. Im just wondering if we should wait for the real fix.

Or just find the issue and fix it over a few beers and be done with it until they get a better fix.

I folded up a black towel and crammed in between my seat and center console to keep the cushion from shifting. It's not the seat bolts. The shift is happening at the cushion. If you look under the seat with a light and push it back and forth you can see where the movement is happening.

Bailing wire and pliers fixed it on my Gen 2. I can't remember if it was a broken weld, but the seat was moving up and down at the round bar that goes right to left under the seat.

I think I posted up photos in another thread, years ago.

This damn clunk is getting worse and annoying, now I start to anticipate it going around corners carrying any speed. As Booth said, time crack a few beers and get thing fixed.

Have you guys checked to make sure the seat cover clips are secure to the seat frame underneath?. When I got my truck back from the dealer after having the drivers seat heat fixed, I noticed they didn’t have any of the clips on, and the seat shifted around. It’s hard to explain how they work, but basically, you fold the clip over the seat material and push it straight up into the metal of the seat frame and it should click in. I think this is a common problem. We have a fleet of F-150’s where I work, 2021-2023 and almost everyone I check has at least some of the clips not secured.
