Lumbar bladder................

[geonc]

Taking off from a traffic light yesterday evening ....mash the clutch to put in gear and POP stinkin' bladder blew out and now the seat just doesn't feel right

PLEASE tell me there is a replacment bladder -ONLY- available PLEASE!

 

[Ramprat]

Ok, I'll tell ya you can get a bladder replacement ONLY even though I have no idea if that's true ot not

Seriously, I always wondered what would happen if the bladder was to go BANG & if they are replacable or not.

Ya might want to try to pull it out & get some kind of vulcazing rubber patch kit & give that a shot.

They are replaceable geo, drop a line to Dale at powerstrokeshop, I bet he can get you one and probably at a good price.

I'd think that the bladder was made of rubber although I've never seen it. If the hole is not a long tear, perhaps you could repair it with a bicycle tire tube repair kit? I did an archive search at TDS and only came up with threads about seat cushion repair. For a cheap fix...get a whoopie cushion!

I hear Whoopie Goldburg doesn't do guys

Yea, I searched The Drama stop as well 1st time in many months

Rampy, Rich...the tire patch idee just might be the ticket!...******** brain of mine didn't thinn' about that...THANX!

Mike, I'll give Dale a shot but methinks it's really gonna be $$$$$

 

[Mike]

Well, lemme know what you come up with............ mines been flat since I bought the truck .......

Believe it or leave it...I remember Renegade, Patrick Feeley or Joat talking about seat repair...but Jason keeps archiving the past posts making accessing them virtually impossible... . What good are millions of useless archived posts?

Theres some pics in my webshots showing the bladder in the seat - its not too bad a job to get out but I dont have a clue if availible from Ford. I would think it would be. A boneyard would be a best bet as far as price I'd wager.

The only thing to be careful of is when skinning off the foam from the seat is to be aware its glued to the metal frame & pretty thin around the topmost edges.

Cheers

Thanx for the reply Brian

Off topic, are you the same Renegade that adapted the single plug VC harness{99'up} to the early PSD's :Sly

THANX

I have done the conversion but cant take any credit as that would go to Ky Diesel for being the one to bring that lil upgrade to the 94-97 crowd.

I hope this ends the burnt harness probelms to a standstill or at least curbs the problem.
