    It better work or I might have to leave the industry. I have arthritis in both hips at age 33.

    Where did you order from if you do not mind saying? Mostly Seats Inc & Sears here in the IL area.

    Hi Allan,
    I see you're from Winnipeg. Where did you get the seat? Anywhere close to Wpg? Did the dealer have some in stock to look at?
    I'm shopping for a new seat too. Any info would be great.

    The Kenworth dealer in Vernon, BC has a good deal on bostrom wide rides, I paid $849 cad last week. Nice comfy seat it is too.

    It is working really good. I noticed the probax foam right away and to be honest it was downright uncomfortable the first day. But I noticed my back was more balanced and I didn't strain to straighten out when I got out of the truck. The seat itself isn't that fancy, the only extra air buttons are lower and upper lumbar. The probax is lumbar support and it is basically a minimum. It's always pushing on your mid back.

    The ride is very nice but I think I could've in fact ordered the swivel. It is a wee bit low which is surprising. I haven't hooked up the heat or cooling yet.
     
    SAR Thanks this.

    Will be curious to know how the wiring works out when you hook up the heat. Not thinking it would be that complicated running it to the fuse block. Aside from possibly removing rusted screws near door sill to tuck the wires under.

    Ended up buying an Atlas II. Know there are better out there. But it is a huge improvement over the 13 yr old National seat that lived far longer than it should have.
