3rd gen Limited seat question

[AKAndy]

So I just bought a 96 Limited, and the driver seat has a stripped reclining gear. I'm looking for a new power seat with the tan leather, and none of the junk yards around here have anything with leather seats, only SR5s. I found a guy on craigslist who is parting out two Limiteds, a 98 and a 99. Are the power seats on 3rd gen Limiteds compatible accross all years, including the controls and the electronics?

01-02s are heated as well

the 01-02 Limited leather seats are heated as well.

Not sure about the compatibility of all years....

Thanks Ron, didn't know about heat in the 01-02s. Called the dealer, and found out that if I wanted to get the new parts needed to fix this, I would need to buy the seat bottom (frame + motors and gears, but no upholstry) and have the bottom upholstered, and have my seat-back attached to the new bottom piece. The seat bottom assembly runs $1200 from the dealer, LOL.

Found one guy parting out a truck who's trying to sell a pair of seats for $600, which seems like a rip-off even if I was looking for the pair. I'm thinking $100-150 for one seat, or $200-$250 for the pair seems reasonable... anyone have any idea what I should expect to pay?

More like $300 per pair, but idk, look for a 96-98 first because those are your best bet, it will get trickier once you go the mid-body-style changes but maybe a 99 or 00 will work, the 01-02 probably wont work withoout a good amunt of wiring.
