Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Sent an email to Two Men One Garage asking about the seat motors for the 98-2002 trucks, and then for the 2006 and later models. Within 24 hours of sending, I had a very informative reply from Barry Humrich. I asked if I could share the info with everyone on the board here and he said that would be great, and asked for any feedback from anyone who may already be using some of their products. The following is the email I recieved from Barry.
Craig,
Thanks for the email.
The motors I sell for the 2002-2005 trucks I "think" are the same motors for the 2006-2010 ram trucks. I've sold a couple to 2006 owners and they said it's the same motor. I've not been able to verify this myself. I'm trying to get a power seat assembly for that year of truck to verify before I start advertising them as a replacement. I had one guy tell me the Dodge parts catalog shows the same part number for 2002-2010. Once again, I haven't verified this myself.
I read the thread on the website you mentioned and it appears the motor worked on a 2006 ram truck. The originator of the thread was correct, that getting the roll pin out was the hardest. I sold the only seat unit I had on hand, so now I don't have one to make install instructions and pictures with. Bad move on my part, because getting a reasonably priced unit is hard to do. Once I can purchase another, I'm going to do a set of install instructions. I get numerous emails on the installation of the motor, so I need to publish some instructions.
One person in the thread talked about replacing the plastic gear with a metal one. The plastic gear is molded onto the shaft, around a metal washer welded onto the shaft. The metal washer would have to be ground off, then a metal gear made to slide over the shaft and most likely drilled and pinned. It would also have to fit the worm gear that drives it. Making a metal gear would take a lot of machine work that the average user doesn't have access to.
I went with a different end profile on the shaft because the factory set up was a major pain. At the end of the shaft is a bushing stop, which limits the upward movement of the seat. The factory design used a constant section ring to hold the stop bushing on the end of the shaft. That ring was a major pain to get off, sourcing the correct size of ring was also a problem, as well as the added expense of matching the tapered shaft profile, so I went with a left hand thread jam nut and bushing to provide the stop. Much easier to take on and off.
1998-2001 ram trucks
I'm working on replacement motors for this year group now. There are several issues I have to work through to get my motors to work. The roll pin holding the motor on is a larger diameter than the 2002-2005 trucks, the collar on the shaft is different as are the shaft threads and electrical connector. Nothing will be reused during the replacement. I've worked through all the issues, I hope, and am in the process of getting a kit together. Then I can see how hard the install process is going to be. I hope to have something on the market in a month or two.
Hope this helps,
Barry

So after I played "Mr. Switch jigglier" for around 10 minutes and finally got the motor to move back so she could get out of the truck she proclaimed "I'll never drive that F'ing thing again!#@$%! :-laf:-laf:-laf Maybe after I get the seat working again I won't tell her
