Question Seat Mod. Warning

About a year ago I did the add some extra foam to the drivers seat and all went well. the other day while cleaning under the passenger seat I found a warning tag that says if the seat is removed the dealer service must reset the pressure sensor for the air bag or injury or death may result, or something like that. Anyone know about this? Everything seems O.K. and the truck works like it always did, no dash lights or warnings of any kind. Do I need to Have the sensor reset?

Only the passenger seat has the sensor. The sensor helps determine if the air bag needs to deploy gently (40 pound 4 year old) or aggressively (330 pound mother in law).

is that a joke, about the passenger side, or are you serious about that? Not that I don't believe you, I just saw the opportunity there for a joke as well.

Thanks. The warning tag was under the passenger seat. I did the mod to the drivers seat only. Sound like I'll be O.K.

MIL sits in the back.

In Alabama, it's illegal for people to ride in the bed.

I saw no sensors or wires at all under the passenger seat of my truck. I have power driver's side and manual passenger side.

I had the foam issue and the seat back cutting. But I replaced the seats with leathers ones. From what I can tell they are out of a 02 1500. They are not the laramie ones. At least not the 2 one ones. Do I need to have the air bag thing reset?
