Seems like they are still available.
Might need this DIY. I think my passenger seat bladder died.
Anyone know the part # for the elastic band with two J hooks on it to hold the upper seat fan in? Mine is actually just missing, the upper bladder died bc the fan dislodged and the positioning spikes tore the bladders.
Is the bladder part # the same for both L and R sides?

My drivers and passenger seat back bladder/motor assemblies have different part numbers (from a used ebay MY22 350 Platty MCS kit).
I only ask bc when I google that part # I get the control module. On the first page the two upper bladders in the image look identical.
Sorry, my bad, I had MCS on the brain since you posted in the MCS DIY install thread. Your fist pic is the fan for cooling seats. I do not have P/Ns for those components. Here is a pic of my seat back, MCS and heated/cooling but I don't see a Ford part number when zooming in.
Yea sorry going at it with a two birds with one stone approach.
So short of the story is the passenger side aka the wife's side, aka the passenger princess side, the MCS are not working anymore, the back portion of the seat has almost no adjustment with lumbar and the MCS is almost nonoperational. When I took the seat back cover loose, the stupid upper fan in your picture fell out. It appears either that elastic band that holds the fan blower in has either torn (cant find it) or never installed. Thus the fan came loose, it has positioning pins/spikes and wore a hole in the MCS/lumbar seat back bladders.
So I need to replace the seat back bladders and was just looking for the oem elastic band too.
The band is likely to be a part of another expensive part assembly they want you to order, the kind of part that is never available to purchase separately unless you get lucky at a junk yard.
Attaching another pic of the cool fan and pad. The pad has a Ford P/N is you zoom in. Not sure it that is just the white pad and/or cooling fan. But as BroncOh noted, you may have to buy the hole assembly from Ford. Seems you could DIY a strap out of a bungie cord or elastic strap if you can't locate the OEM strap.
yea, i can McGyver that I think. Just need to confirm the upper seatback bladder
Bike inner tube (ranger band) may be a good material choice. Shouldn't rot out.

Here is where we got all the MCS kits from. Richard is very knowledgeable.
I believe this is the part you are looking for.

I'm back bitches! Just here to add content. 1.5
. Roughly 30 minutes bc I had to come up with a Bungie idea.
More sharp than anything. Two (top and bottom) bladders were busted. Top was cut by the upper fan coming dislodged. Use one of those contractor pencils to put graphite on the zippers. The weird interlocking piece for the seat back is way easier to get loose if the seat is 100% vertical, grab the seat back bottom, flip it up into your hand while pushing down with that hand push up from the bottom and it dislodged pretty easily.
I got the bladder and small pump from Ford through my fleet account for $81. List 137.70. ironically I have an extra one coming from Tasca as I was unsure of the part timeframe, so I reached out to my fleet part guy who tracked it down and went ahead and ordered it... My Tasca order shipper yesterday too so if anyone needs one. This is the seat back bladder for both sides.

So I have the 2023 f350 with max recline seat option but it had the multi contour seat delete, anyone in the SoCal area that would be able to add the Multi Contour to these seats for me? Or anyone know someone who is able to ? Will pay a decent amount...
I am also curious if anyone has done this to their 2023 trucks. I want to do this upgrade to my seats. Was spoiled with my previous F350 seats. But I am unfamiliar with Forscan.
Maybe someone can point me in the right direction one how to use Forscan, then I can tackle this upgrade myself.
Thanks

Unfortunately I waited 10 months for the truck to arrive after ordering it. My other truck was starting to have issues with the amount of miles that was being put on it. Everything else is perfect with the truck minus the seats.
