Dogs took a ride. She's blind, but that doesn't stop her from getting a muffin from Wawa.

Thanks T, I bought what they said was the last one, but I went back and refreshed the page and it said that there is one left. Methinks that this may be a trick to get people to buy it right now because it says only 1 left. Those sneaky bastiges I was going to buy it anyway...Mark

IU think your right about their "sales technique".....I recently bought some gas cans to mount on the quads and they said in their add "only 5 left". I received my gas cans and checked back and it was still "only 5 left".

Install 3rd Gen electric heated seats this weekend.

Incredible difference.

Is that a regular or extended cab? I would like to eventually put bucket seats in my truck, but it seems like it would be hard to do without giving up leg room that I need being ~6’ 4” With the stock bench there isn’t a ton of room between my knees and the dash. I wish I had an extended cab sometimes.

Nice... Toasty hineys in the winter, eh?

Buddy of mine bought a new jeep grand Cherokee. Heated seats. 45 minutes into the ride, it got so hot, I felt my brains were boiling from contact with the seat.

Way too hot. Baim dambage...

Hopefully you put that through some sort of fuse, as not to burn the truck to the ground, like I almost did a few weeks back with my plow.

Personally, for that reason I don't like heated seats,Its for the wife.
The seats add a 3rd level of suspension and wraps around U quite nice.
drove 120 miles today,night and day difference. Highly recommend.
I do not test or install ANY electrical this truck without inline fusing.

The part is available on RockAuto for $70.79 as well.
NJTman - I noticed that you are using P/N 45B0022 (for 72 -74 W series), but there is also P/N 45B0031 (for 75 - 77 W series). Is there an advantage using one versus the other?
