Or ebay, but get out your checkbook...
That's no joke, I want a 4th Gen flip up console with the 3 cup holders (actually found one that was mint for $190), but then I wanted seats to. Salvage yard quoted me almost 2K for front and rear seats.

Awesome, hope my 07 looks good. Found a console on ebay yesterday for about 500. Bought it. Cant wait to put it all in.

Now all I want to buy is black floor mats and a black steering wheel cover to match everything else. Any suggestions??
You could just do a different steering wheel that looks nicer.

ok so i got the leather power seats from a 2010 ram. Trying to figure out how to wire them up in my 07. Any advise or help? Ive looked around and only find really quick answers. Can anyone please help me out.

Ive heard it only two wires, a power and a ground. But the connector from the seat has a whole lot more, many colors.

help pleeeeease

That's because that entire harness, has power for the seat, and the seat sensor for the airbag, and for the heat pad (if you have it), possibly seat airbags. Need a wiring diagram for both (should be able to find online).

Yeah Im having a hard time finding info. Starting to worry lol.

Anyone help ??

People have done this swap
You'll need to look for the Ram Body Builder PDF for a 2007. It will show the location and general description of any pre-wired sockets in your truck. It will also detail where missing harnesses would splice to.

If you look in the Tech sub-forum, I have a post with 2005 Body Builder wiring pictures. It's probably generic enough to give you ideas of what's missing and how to incorporate it. The year-applicable Parts Manual will have part numbers for the necessary harness jumpers. Know that color codes/features/methods of actuation might change from one year to another, and CANBUS might be an issue on some things.

I actually found the Ram Body Builder for a 2007 online yesterday after searching all day lol. So now i know what wires do what in my truck, now my issue is finding out what wires do what of the seat harness of the 2010 model power seats. Once I know that then I can just splice. But I cant seem to find the body builder for a 2010. The ram body builder site doest have all the info for the 2010 model.

Try to look for the Body Builder for the closest 4G year to your parts. I doubt anything appreciable changed besides possibly connector shapes or wire colors changed from, say, a 2010 to a 2012.

This is my next mod. 09+ center console with console shifter hooked up and steering rack shifter deleted


I can't wait. Right now I'm just trying to find a killer deal on ebay or craigslist. Once i find one in the right colors and price range, the swap will be started in my 06 qc.

The console mates up to the 06-08 dash much better than it does to the 02-05
