Does anybody know of any aftermarket passenger seat foam replacement for the 2nd gen? Ive only been able to find 3rd gen and newer.

Found this, kinda pricy. Maybe reach out to the upholstery vendors on eBay or Amazon and inquire about availability of the passenger side cushion. Seems the driver side is widely available, not so much the passenger side. You could always go to an automotive upholstery shop but that may be even more expensive.

I was going to mention GENO's also

I have seen an upholstery shop, YouTube Video

They took a block of the right kind of Foam
They laid it side by side with a foam seat cushion from an older truck.

They then took an Electric Carving Knife & cut the New Foam to resemble the old cushion, but Larger.

Then they cut a wedge, shaped like a triangle, but there were no pointed edges.

They then took an Aerosol can of Foam Spray.
They then glued the new piece of Foam to the outside edge of the pad.
The location was where your butt cheeks would side over the edge, whether getting in or out.

I think that area of the seat cushion is called the Bolster ?

That is the part of the seat that degrades first.

The more i think about the video, i think it was produced by

the last year of the Dodge Ram 1500 2nd Gen was 2001

2002 was the first 3rd Gen 1500

The Heavy Duty Dodge Rams were 1 year after wards, when the Generations changed
