My local Dodge dealer is listing an OEM seat heater element to replace the one that is not working in my 2001 Dodge truck for $176 plus shipping.

I have always found my local dealer is much more expensive than other dealers and since I am paying for shipping anyways, are there any other Dodge dealers where I might get the part for cheaper? I try to be as loyal to local dealers as possible, but......

 

you can switch the whole lower seat cushion with the pass side, if you dont care about the pass having a warm bottom.
cushion is held on with 4 bolts and will switch sides but its not a perfect fit (seat belt latch)

 

Geno's garage has an aftermarket seat heater repair kit. $98.57 each.

 

Yes, check out a company called Rostra. They also work for trucks that didnt come with the seat heaters from the factory.
