does any one have a power tail gate lock or just a manual tail gate lock what is the best one ?

 

I have a Pop&Lock PL8200 power tailgate lock. It has been working fine for about 3 years.

 

was it hard to install

 

i have one too. they're easy to install and no problems since installed almost 2 years ago.

 

how do you run the wires to the cab ?

 

Probably thru the tailgate into the taillight well, down chassis into the cab. Not a hard mod at all.

 

i am getting a bed cover so i thank i am just going to get the power one to

 

That would be a good idea, keeps people out.

 

I ran the wire pair down inside the tailgate to the lower passenger side corner, then down through a connector to the PS frame rail, then forward along the frame rail and drilled a hole for a grommet into the cab area above the footwell. Then tapped them into the power lock wires under the PS kick panel.

 

ok so when i get the money i am going to get the power one

 

so does any one have one i am going to get one because i dont want my 160 dollar taillights jacked

 

your taillights mount from inside the truck bed?


I also have the pop lock auto tailgate lock. Was easy to install but it rattled when I would close the tailgate so I used some foam and packed it around it, then used some spray foam to fill in another other areas, making sure the moving parts were free to move.

I love it, one of the cheapest most useful mods I have done, well worth it especially with a tonneau cover.

 

there are two screws that do right inside the tail gate yours are the same way

 

oh yea, duh, my bad
