Re: Show us your seats

HO455 reminded me to post this here.

14-19 truck/suv/suburban/tahoe seats. Full power is achievable by:
DS = Black (ground), Red/yellow stripe (primary power), red/brown stripe (aux power)
PS = Black (ground), red/ brown stripe (primary power).... no secondary power
*brown stripes might actually be black, its hard to tell for me, its a brownish black stripe color*
I removed all other unnecessary wires/air bags/sensors etc.

To get the middle jumper to flip back fully my tank is removed. If you're keeping in cab tank you can move middle seat forward but if you have a high hump you may run into issues.

Any taller than 5'10 you would probably want to modify pedals, other wise you could try a cts seat which is thinner backed. Thinner backed seats would allow more distance between seats and pedals. Even then id be cautious for the comfort of pedal operations.

I removed factory heat strips and installed universals which come in a kit from dorman. Factory heat strips could possibly be wired into an aftermarket thermistor/relay but I didnt mess with it. Rocker switches in the lower shroud as shown. Didnt want any holes in dash etc for those.

I did a video on this swap where I show myself in both seats to help people make a decision. I also show how I made the brackets which I didnt get a lot of regular pics of. They arent for everyone but hopefully this helps people make a decision before hand since the seats a pretty pricey. I paid 600 for all three at a junk yard.
