Hey all,
I want to inform everyone of what's getting ready to hit the market for us and to give a plug for Home - Mustang, Ram, Jeep Car Seat Motors, Gears - Two Men One Garage for making replacement seat motors for our "odd year" 98-02 2500/3500 Trucks.
Presently they're making the front and rear up/down motors, so if your truck seat no long works correctly and you're sure its the motor(s) and not the switch assy, and like me "just can't justify paying Ma MoPar big $$$ for the entire seat assy", since she conveniently doesn't sell just the replacement motors separately - if the assy is even available anymore. Read on:
Yesterday, Saturday 5/14/11, I installed 2 replacement motor assemblies from 2 men 1 garage that are not yet for sale (but according to Barry Humrich will be ready in less than a month).
I was fortunate that Barry was looking for someone to "test-bed" and perform a real world installation trial to see if motors installed as per the provided instructions, worked well and had the same travel adjustment as stock. I was most lucky because they entrusted me to provide my opinion / feed back / use as a guinea pig of sorts and sent the motors to me no questions. Their only request was that I provide "open" opinion of the product and installation.
After I completed the install of the 2 motors, only took just under 2 hours, I communicated my perspectives to Barry, which were all positive, he replied the motors should be ready to sell in less than a month.
In the kits I received everything needed to perform the R & R: Motor Assy's, solder-less connectors, bolts, spacer washers and nuts - "and" easy to follow instructions with pictures.
I'm pretty sure Barry said when the motors are ready for sale the cost would be around $90 ea.
Bottom line for me was: for the first time in almost 6 years my 6-way seat is now actually working all 6 ways!!! Oo.
