Description

GM Power Seat Height Adjustment Gear Kit (Solid Brass)

Stop replacing entire seat tracks for one broken plastic gear. In 2007–2014 GM vehicles, the power seat height adjustment relies on a fragile plastic gear set that eventually strips or chips under the weight of the occupant.

When these gears fail, dealerships will only sell you a complete seat track assembly ($600–$900+). GruvenParts.com offers a Solid Brass permanent fix that replaces both failure points in the mechanism for a fraction of the cost.

Molded plastic (Spur & Worm gears).

 

Solid Brass (Helical-cut).

Prone to stripping, chipping, and total failure.

 

Industrial strength; will not strip or break.

Repair Scope

 

Replace the entire seat track unit.

 

Targeted repair of the internal gears only.

$600+ plus high labor costs.

 

Affordable DIY kit with a Lifetime Warranty.

What’s Included in the Kit?

Unlike incomplete kits on the market, we provide a matched set to ensure a "bulletproof" repair. Replacing only one gear often leads to the new metal gear chewing through the remaining old plastic gear.

  • (1) Helical Cut Solid Brass Main Spur Gear
  • (1) Solid Brass Mating Worm Drive Gear
  • Note: One kit repairs ONE (1) height adjuster. Each seat typically has two adjusters (Front Height and Rear Height).

Application & Fitment

This kit fits 2007–2014 GM Vehicles equipped with power seats, including:

  • Chevy: Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, Avalanche.
  • GMC: Sierra, Yukon, Denali.
  • Cadillac: Escalade, DTS.

Compatible Seat Track Part Numbers: 22804417, 22804418, 22804419, 22804420, 20779109, 20779110 (and more).

Installation Support

This is a DIY-friendly repair that requires basic tools (Dremel, 1/4" socket) and a high-strength 24-hour epoxy (such as JB Weld 8265S).

Installation Snapshot:

  1. Remove Seat: Gain access to the bottom seat structure.
  2. Open Drive Box: Remove the four screws to access the gears.
  3. Remove Old Plastic: Use a Dremel to carefully cut away the failed plastic spur gear.
  4. Bond New Gear: Apply 24-hour epoxy to the shaft and thread on the new Brass Spur gear.
  5. Replace Worm Gear: Swap the plastic worm gear with the new Brass version.

Cure & Reinstall: Allow epoxy to fully cure before testing seat movement.

    2010 silverado power seat height repair

    An excellent product to replace faulty plastic gears that GM used in there power seats. I wanted to install 2 kits in front and rear height adjusters since I was taking the seat assembly out anyway. Very glad I ordered the extra kit as the 2nd height adjuster was starting to fail also. I was able to install the kits fairly easy but for the novice installer a step by step instruction sheet and a lube packet included with the kit would be a necessity I would think. All in all a two thumbs up product made from brass and far superior to the cheap plastic gears available. Great job Guys!

    GM Truck BRASS Seat Height Adjustment Gears worked just like the web page said. Price was very reasonable considering the dealer would only sell the complete seat base with all gears and rods at over $700 plus installation! -- response -- Thanks for the review ! Yep, no point at all in paying $700+ for another seat base to get more plastic. The only thing failing on that seat base IS the plastic gears, so this resolves the issue, prevents if from ever happening again, and saves you ~$650. Seems like a no brainer :) Paul@GruvenParts.com

    Well made and get's the job done. Had to file down the knurls on the shaft to get the new gear on but that allowed me to make it nice and snug. I only used JB weld and working fine so far. Also, found that if the seat were in the full raised position I had more room to deflect the shaft assembly over to get the gear around (out of) the black transmission box. That part is a little tricky. Watch for the small parts such as the shim and the washer on the gear. They want to fall and can end up lost in the seat. Finally, Paul was great and responsive in answering my questions. I think more detailed instructions with photo's could help him in having to deal with customer Q&A. Just a thought Paul. Thanks!

    I wasn't sure I would trust the epoxy, so I drilled the gears for 1/8" roll pin, positioned the gears on the shaft and drilled the shaft. I also used epoxy just to give a solid base to the spur gear. So far, works great. --- Response --- Ok thanks Bob for the review. People do ask quite a bit about the epoxy. As mentioned in instructions, if you use JB WELD 24 HOUR CURE EPOXY, you will not need to install a roll pin. Ive epoxy'ed an entire OIL PAN back together on an old mercedes 124 which had a crack that was 10" long and nobody would weld it and removing from the vehicle would of been thousands in labor. The JB Weld worked wonders, drove it another 150K miles like that. Its super strong stuff ... just make sure the mating parts are clean, free from oil, and ALLOW IT TO FULLY CURE and you wont be able to get it back off unless you take a torch to it... Paul

    The seat adjustment kit works great (2012 Silverado Crew cab duramax). I did have one question after hours, called and left a voice main and the next day I received a return call to answer my question. Super solid replacement part and great customer service! My only complaint is the shipping cost (as the website suggested, I did not use USPS so the cost was steep for the small size of the two parts) but still much cheaper then a new seat.
