Re-locate the drivers seat mount??

[NJ H2]

Just an FYI ... you can cut the small plastic ring off from the bottom of the worm gear (screw). This allows you to recline your front seats all the way.
Here is the Mod Thread:

Thanks NJ H2, but this isnt about the reclining of the seat. This is about the seat position forward or rear in the cab of the H2.

Basically, my seat is in the furthest most position away from the front of the car and yet it is still really close.
I am sure there was a reason for allowing the seat to only go back on the tracks so far, but at the cost of the drivers comfort?

Does anyone know if there is a manual way to make the seat go all the way back on the tracks? I am wondering if there is something in the electronics that is keeping my seat so close to the front of the cab.

Hmm, I haven't thoroughly checked but not seeing in shop manual.

Both the passenger side and driver side should be able to go back the same difference, what's the difference between them when fully back?

Also have you searched the internet, it's probably going to be similar to all the GMT800 platforms.

Maybe a midget drove your truck last, are there rope marks on the back of the brake pedal?

lol

Welp!
I did it.
After months of complaining about it, and a few posts asking what you guys think or what might be wrong with my seat....
I finally worked on a setup to relocate the driver seats back further and up a little which gives me ALOT!!!! more adjustability.

After taking some 1 inch square tube, cut it up and welded it together, drilling holes in it, painting it, then bolting it to the stock points of the rear of the seat, and then drilling 2 new front mounting points in the floor and welding in structure supports to those.....

I now have a seat that will go up and down as high as I want, and forward and backwards as much as I want.
Driving the thing is a whole new experience.

I would love a little more room to go back, but my kids need some leg room. Anyone ever move the rear seat back 6-12"
