Ok, sorry if this has been covered, I can't find it anywhere here!
I have a 99 OBS ECSB K1500. The driver and passenger seat belts simply do not "grab" when pulled rapidly, pulled when hard braking down an incline, going over RR tracks, you get the idea, never! It has been my experience with just about any year GM or other vehicle, the belts were designed to grab (some kind of weighted pulley system, or some such?!?). It concerns me that these belts are worn out. Being my daily driver, I'm sure I would want them to work right, if they would be needed! Just a side note on this, the two rear seat, seat belts, seem to work perfectly, grabbing when pulled rapidly.
I looked for belts in a yard on 4 donor vehicles, and all of them were the same as mine! I also found the belts (retractor and belt unit) as a "new" part, but they are fairly expensive. I don't mind spending the money if these belts would make everything right, just wanted other opinions and experiences before I do that.
Thanks
