I used a jump box and with it on my tailgate brought the seat to life!! love it when something actually works. This seat is gray cloth the STX seats are black of course. This will all be fixed when my leather kit arrives. The side panel with the switches even matches the black that I am going to need the only thing I need to change is the top little grommets that the head rest slides into as they are gray. if the body of the truck was steel I wouldn't even need to run a ground wire. maybe I can tap power from one of the cigarette lighter outlets in the center console. I have the seat adjusted where I want it so, maybe it being unhooked is a good thing, LOL. my factory STX wiring harness plugs right in. I switched over my seat belt latch because it is black and it plugged right in.

for those looking to do this I highly recommend keeping it simple and doing the 8 way power seat. maybe the 10 way is the same who knows but this was a pretty simple upgrade. best of all I paid $225 for the seat. I still have my old seat to sell and even if I just sell the air bag out of it the last one sold for $175 on ebay. I could be into this mod for next to nothing.

The power seat sits about 2" lower when I adjust it down. This seat was out of a 40,20,40 seat truck and it fits just like the original did with my console.
