Yeah when I was looking a few years back the only thing out there with in depth how-to videos was a dvd a guy was selling for $100 online. I emailed him and asked for some snips of the videos to see if they were actually worth $100. He sent me a nasty reply back so I decided to start posting KZfaq videos for free to help people. Thanks for watching - I hope they help. Please share the videos if you like to help the channel.

@@MAYCOCustomRestorations thanks for taking the time to make and post the videos.

Thanks for the support, much appreciated

Thanks for the support

If you know much about audio and could offer some tips that would be great. I’m just using my iPhone because I don’t have a nice setup. Thanks for watching

Exactly my thoughts on the audio comment. Also, a little more in depth explanation on the specific wires you kept & utilized for the power seats would be nice. Good work!

@@MAYCOCustomRestorations The audio was very low for most of the video. It could be that you just need to turn up the microphone gain setting. I would try that first. If that doesn't work you may have to look into getting a wireless mic of some kind that you can clip to your collar, so your voice is always loud enough.

Unfortunately I thought the audio was too loud so I turned it down in the editor. Next time I won’t do that

Thank you for the comment and supporting my channel

The climate control module should be located under the passenger seat. That communicates with the BCM and the toggles for the heat/cool. Because of those two components its a problem. Really the only way to utilize the factory heat strips would be to buy a kit with a switch and a thermistor and just splice in the heat pads in the seat. The 'cool' function is literally just a fan so it should just need a 12vdc supply. You could probably pull the dash buttons and wire them into all of this but its not going to be a plug and play deal.

I am putting vintage air and probably Dakota digital in it. I haven’t decided how I’m going to do a stereo but I want a backup camera somewhere. I’m thinking I’ll install a rear view mirror with a back up camera built in. Still a lot to do.

I think I mentioned it on the video, but I swapped out the factory heat equipment with aftermarket heat equipment, which I believe I show that too. You would need the dash module and the passenger seat module to get the heat to work. And you’d also have to wire all that up so rather than do that I just got aftermarket heat kit and put the switch in the bottom of the seat.

The seat frame was primarily bent in the lower section of the frame (because of the wreck). When I replaced it, that corrected most of the problem. Like on a lot of these trucks though, the upper frame was bent back in a twist. The upper frame I bent back most of the way by twisting it back. I could have totally corrected it if I spent more time on it. It just needs a little stiffening brace welded to it. I figured if mine starts to go back I’ll pull it and fix it for good.

I have struggled with the sound since the beginning. I am going to get a Bluetooth mic to clip on my shirt, at least that’s what appears to work better for some. Thanks for watching

Yep thats why I removed them before hotwiring :D
