Hello ram owners,

i own a 2003 quad cab ram 2500. My seat gear was stipped out just like so many of you are claiming that your are. There are no parts to buy to fix this without buying the whole seat track assembly. You may get lucky and find one in a junk yard, but you may be just a few adjustments from stripping that gear as well. So here is the deal. I am a machinist and i made new gears for my truck, got them installed and they work just like new. The new gears i made are made out of metal so they will not break teeth off like the plastic ones. If any one would be interested in buying some from me to fix their seat. Please send me a message. Thanks rob.

 

This is what I'm doing. I made some new metal gears for mine and it works like a new one. For one heck of a smaller amount than buying a new assembly. Or taking a chance on a junk yard part. If anyone has any interest let me know. Thanks Rob.

 

If any one would be interested in the metal gears the cost would be $120 a pair. not counting shipping.

 

I have a motor for the front elevation for drivers seat for 02-08 Ram. I bought it on Ebay and then traded the truck before I replaced the bad one. I am wanting to get my money back on it. $91 and change plus shipping.

 

Unfortunately, my rear vertical motor is not working now. I have attached a picture in a PDF file of the motor with the broken gear.

Fortunately, we have this forum.

If anyone in this thread still has the gears and you don't need them, I could use the shaft gear.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
BR

 

Just fyi...
In some of the other threads for these broken motors/gears there were some stale links to ebay auctions for the motors.

The seller I saw that had these motors for sale is, "twomenonegarage".

If you look up this seller instead of clicking an old, stale link you should be able to find the motors.

 

Bought the rear up down motor from these guys on ebay. Installed today and it works.The guy selling these motors on ebay must be on this forum or DT. When the motor came there were instructions in with the motor. The pictures that were in the instruction sheets looked very familiar. It appears they came from the DIY listed here on DT

In the DIY it looks like they took a front motor out and put a rear motor in its place. The guy selling these on ebay says:

The electrical connector looks the same on both motors. The way the 2 motors mount into the adjuster frame also looks the same. If you need a motor, it appears possible that either motor will work in either slot just with a shaft that is different length. YMMV

Anyway, I'm happy; mine works now.

 

Just bought a 98 ram 1500. Power seat worked intermittantely. It would move forward, up, down, but than just stop. I would get out the seat, and sometimes it would start working. I took the side panel off to access the button assembly, than followed the wire harness to where it travels between the metal frame and the bottome portion of the seat and I found a pinch point with the wire harness and metal frame. It had severed 2 wires in the harness(one being the +12V supply to the switch assembly). I resoldered the two cut wires, wrapped, and put split loom tubing near the pinch point. Power seat have worked perfect now.

 

Wow, you went deep into search to find this old thread of mine, didn't you? First off, if you own a 98, you are in the wrong forum. Secondly, my issue isn't a wiring problem - the switch activates just fine and the motor just buzzes. I'm sure I have a stripped gear but, since my seat is already where I want it, I just gave up on the effort and expense to fix this problem. Glad you got yours fixed though.
