Mine works. Cools bottom and back. Works even when outside temp was 100F (AC on, of course).

It seems the QC on these cooling seat is hit and miss. I lucked out.

And yes it truly matters to me that my $63k truck with every option won't cool my butt. First world problems but my money.

Yes you did. Funny that my passenger seat gets much cooler than mine. But neither as good as the 2010 Exp King Ranch I test drove. I had to turn that down. Very hit or miss.

Only known fix is aftermarket one that I make. We all tried to get Ford to adopt something like what I make. Heck I even handed the design and a sample to them.

I am just about caught up after all the stuff that came up.

Cant wait to try your product. I have been following your thread since the beginning. Most are saying there is improvement with some saying, not so much. Just wish I could try the seats before purchase.

Anyone that has SeatGurus fix live near Scott AFB, IL? Thanks

I have a 2015 Lariat with 501A package. Does not have massaging seats. Never had the sock installed on intake. Seat bottoms cooled well but not backs. Installed Tim's kit on intake and exhaust and ran out bottom of seat. Seat bottom cold and seat back better with kit. What I have found best is to turn a/c on for about 15 minutes to cool cabin before turning seats on. I also stick a tennis ball at the top of the map pocket on rear to gap the map pocket open. Doing the above I have cooled seat backs that work . Hope this helps someone.

Looks like there will be lots of installs going on this weekend! Good luck and watch the sharp metal inside the seats!

Haha so the tennis ball actually helps with cooling the seat back? I'm getting sum ceramic tint soon so hopefully that helps to keep temps down on cabin which helps the ted work better!
