Seats should be interchaneable in the 2002 to 2008 RAm models. 1500/2500/3500 models have the same bolt holes in the cab but you may want to confirm this first before spending a bunch of money. What exactly are you doing??.

Has anyone else experienced the discomfort associated with the front seat construction? If feels, after just a few miles, like you are sitting on two metal rails instead of a comfortable seat (and the person's body weight is not the issue). I had the seat replaced under warranty and found the new seat is no more comfortable. It seams they changed the design of the seat and there is only about 1" to 1.5" of foam over the metal frame of the seat.

Do you have the 3 button remote seats or the one long button remote? I found that the stock leather seats in the 1500's has more padding but the seats in the 2500/3500 have better adjustments and slightly less cushion. I perfer the 2500/3500 seats comparred to the 1500 seats after trying out both. The 2009 Ram will have new fully redesigned seats and I can't wait to do a test drive in the 2009 1500 when it comes out.
 
p.s. NOW is the time to buy a new RAM if you need a truck. Due to high gas prices, they are almost giving them away now. At my local dealer they have a super price, they give you a 50" big screen TV AND the $2.99 gas deal for 3 years!! Not including the lifetime power-train warrantee.
 
Prices have come down considerably since I bought mine last October 2007 and I thought I got a good deal. ;(

If you have a Mega Cab, you know the cup holders are crap. I have not done the research, but I just realized yesterday that the other Ram trucks come with the awesome cup holders I was expecting. I would like to know if it is possible to replace the trim panel in the Mega Cab where the cup holders should be with the cup holders from a crew or regular cab. Has anyone tried it?

Why exactly are they crap? I have a 2007 1500 and the front ones work very well. The rear ones (just in front of the back seat) do not have any adjustments on them and are too big to hold down anything even around the smallest of turns. Not sure what Dodge was thinking when they made those???
 
I have found a few areas that Dodge can/should improve on. Lets hope the 2009 model is better all around,. Looks like it from what I have seen.

Do you have the 1500 Mega Cab? The Mega Cabs do not have the adjustable cup holders that the Dodge trucks have had for years (the ones with the adjustable arms). Instead the Mega has a console on the floor in front of the middle seat with 3 cup holders in it. My wife is 5'1" and she can't reach the floor comfortably to put a drink there. Also, they are very shallow and don't hold the drinks very well. i just prefer the fold out cup holders that come in the front seats of the quad cab and regular cab trucks and I want to see if I can put the quad/regular cab cup holders in my Mega Cab.

#26 of 36 Dodge 1500 Hole in Seat by squire

Nov 28, 2008 (1:58 pm)

Does anyone else have a problem with a hole developing in the seat of their Dodge 1500? I have a 2004 Quad cab with less than 34K miles, under warranty with the mileage but more than 3 years on the age. This truck has been babied in every way but a hole has developed on the drivers side on the side of the seat, possibly a coil of some kind trying to poke thru. Service department has heard of this issue and will submit a claim with the district rep, I know that song and dance...which basically means take out your wallet and bend over. Anyone else have this problem?
