3-Way Butt Splice: A Simple Upgrade for Your Truck's Power Seat

Are you looking for a way to upgrade your truck's power seat without breaking the bank? Look no further than a 3-way butt splice! This simple modification can give you the power and comfort you need, all while keeping your wallet happy.

I recently had the opportunity to try out this mod on my own truck, and I was impressed with the results. The power seat from a 40/20/40 seat truck fit perfectly in place of my original console, and adjusting it down brought me about 2 feet closer to the ground. It's amazing how much of a difference a simple upgrade like this can make.

One thing to keep in mind is that you'll still have your old seat to sell, and even if you just sell the airbag, it could fetch a pretty penny on eBay. The 10-way power seat may be similar, but I opted for the simpler 8-way option and was pleased with the results.

The hardest part of this mod is probably switching over the seat belt latch, which is a simple plug-and-play process. If you're looking to do this yourself, I highly recommend keeping it as simple as possible and going with the 8-way power seat. My factory STX wiring harness plugged right in, making the whole process a breeze.

Of course, there are some limitations to keep in mind. The body of my truck is steel, so I didn't need to run a ground wire - but if you're working with aluminum or another material, you may need to take that into account. Additionally, the side panel with the switches matches the black color scheme perfectly, making it easy to integrate the new seat.

The only thing I needed to change was the top little grommets where the headrest slides in - they were gray, but my leather kit will fix that problem when it arrives. The gray cloth of the 3-way butt splice seat blends seamlessly with my truck's interior, and I'm thrilled with the results.

Overall, a 3-way butt splice is a simple and effective way to upgrade your truck's power seat without breaking the bank. With a little creativity and some basic electrical know-how, you can enjoy the comfort and convenience of a more adjustable seat without sacrificing style or performance.
