has anyone ever taken their front seats out, front, middle, and passenger? i want to take them out and clean really good under there (PO must have really liked coffee) i got under there and there is a ton of wires and harnesses, and i cant find the connection for the one that runs into the drivers seat, any help? greatly apprecitated

 

I did the same thing. The PO's kids dumped gallons of soda in there. I found it easier to remove the lower cushions on both sides first to give me better access to the wiring and the mounting bolts.

4 10mm bolts for each cushion.

 

im gonna do all this tomorrow so ill figure it out one way or another

 

I pulled all of the seats out and then pulled the carpet to clean it out of the truck since that makes it much easier to get a full clean. However I don't have any power seat options to there was no wire harness. Shouldn't be too hard to find though and it does make it a lot easier to clean it really well if you get all the seat frames out of the way. My pull was to clean up from a hi brake light leak which soaked the carpet and also left surface rust on the seat frames so i pulled those off and repainted them while I had it all apart.

 

Arent the pre-98s a single seat assembly, then after is when it turns into three seats?

 

didnt get to it today, had some stuff spring up on me. you know how that goes, i really looked at it good and found all the wires i need to unhook and found all the necessary bolts to undo, looks like it will have to be next weekend

 

I can't speak for the others configurations, but my 97 regular cab with the 40/20/40 split bench comes out in three pieces. If I remember correctly the center shared one or two anchor points with the passenger side, but definitely 3 pieces. I had the carpet out for over a week while I dried and cleaned it and drove to work for a week with just the driver side in and no carpet while I checked repeatedly to be sure I had the leak fixed before I put it all back together. There was definitly more road noise which was why I decided to keep cleaning and not go rhino liner for the floor.
