Anyone done a power lock updrade on older SDs with manual door locks?

[XOC]

97 single cab with manual windows ands locks. It would be nice to be able to remotely lock/unlock both doors. No one remembers to lock the passenger side of anything anymore. -mad

Can it be done?

I had an old ranger that didnt have power windows or locks...

I installed a cheapie alarm & added the lock solenoids so i could
lock/unlock the truck remotely...lock solenoids are about 50 bucks
each these days...any alarm shop should be able to get you there

oh cool - i didnt know it would be that easy. thanks

I have two power lock actuators that I would part with if you are interested in them. These would be perfect for what you're since they came from an alarm kit that went on a vehicle with PDL's already.

Hmm, I probably will do a whole alarm kit, but thanks for mentioning it.

No problem. They are here if you or anyone else needs them.

ditto...i paid about 100 bucks per door for mine (including install)...
so when my truck got hit/totaled i grabbed those outta the door
(along w/ other things).

mine are free for the cost of shipping...but i DOUBT most alarm shops
would want to touch the "deal" if they werent selling the lockers TOO.
