The OEM unit on my F250 lift gate stripped the internal gear after seven years of use,. So after searching the web for a suitable replacement, I found these appeared to be the same as those sold by various vendors at as much as five times the price, and 1/10 of the price of a dealership replacement. Installation was easy and it works great. In fact it's even quieter than the factory installed actuator. I cant comment on longevity or lifespan since I just installed it yesterday but it came in a two pack so if it fails, I've got a back up .

I did not install these right away, but finally did in stall them on my older truck that i use on occation, and after a couple months of not allot of use, one is already failing... contacted the company who said to contact Amazon..... waiting for something to happen...
Finally got ahold of Amazon customer service, they eventually sent out a replacement at no cost. I feel the "heavy duty" should last longer than 6 months, but at least they are replacing them.

Fits perfectly for the 2005 Winnebago Vectra 40AD automatic cargo locks.

My goal was a very minimally intrusive installation. I dislike installing stuff like this that isn't OEM, so I always strive for absolute minimal disruption or modification to existing components. After careful consideration, I opted to install a secondary, small dia. actuating rod made from music wire. That said, I am extremely happy with how this came out, how it functions, and again, how minimally invasive the install was.

My 5-star review is based on decent build quality and functionality, considering the sub-$10 price tag.

If you happen to be considering installing these in a 2nd gen Taco, you've stopped by the right review, as I have pics of my install.
The physical installation was easy, but be warned: if you're one of the people who ask "will this fit my ____?", then you should probably not attempt this installation/modification.

These pics show only the physical installation of the actuators. There are too many variables to get into specific wiring details.
I converted my Viper 4115V remote start (one button remote) to a full keyless entry system by adding Directed module 451M, and adding a 4-button Viper remote.

These pics are showing installation in my 2014 Toyota Tacoma (reg. cab).

Pic 1: I modified the latch/lock handle housing as shown, drilling a hole at an angle for the new lock actuator rod.
Pic 2: I slightly enlarged the hole that the lock cable goes into, because it will now be shared with the OEM lock cable and the new actuator rod (music wire). It doesn't need to be enlarged much to accept both cables.
Pic 3: This shown the new rod bent and installed into the housing.
Pic 4: Completed latch/lock housing, ready for reattaching to the door.
Pic 5: I modified the actuator mounting holes using a c'sink tool, so I could use flat-head screws for mounting.
Pic 6: Shows the modified actuator, before trimming off the excess flashing created from the c'sink operation.
Pic 7: Through trial and error, this is the final mounting location. There's plenty of room for the actuator, but it does need to be located accurately so as to not interfere with features on the back side of the door panel.
Pic 8:Final mechanical assembly, ready to put the door panel back on.

The first side took about 2 hours or more, as I needed to figure everything out. The 2nd side took about 30 min. after the door panel was removed. The end result is very good, the actuators lock/unlock the doors with plenty of force. They do have a bit more travel than what is required for the locks. I may revisit this at some point in the future to develop a buffering method of dealing with the over-travel condition.

I've bought actuators before but these are really good for the price, they sound strong and unlock and lock fast so far they're been working great
