Why not the pace edwards? Would it hold true for all auto lock/unlock modules or is there something special about this one?
I'm looking at these but I have a backup camera... would hate to break it all down only to mess up that camera. Has anyone had success installing this on a tailgate with a camera?

I installed my actuator on my 2010 last week. Actuator was easy and running wire was easy. With much investigation I found the proper wires to use they are located on both driver and passenger sides under the sill plate. Use wires Grey (black stipe) and light blue (light green stripe). Hook them up either way and test. If they are installed backwards then your lock and unlock will be backwards on your remote. If so just reverse to proper way. Way easier than I was making it. I was trying to follow the wires in the doors and meter them. It turned out awesome and is a very good mod.
I tested them, and then re-routed the wire/loom that I already had to the driver side. This was so stinking easy AFTER I found the wires. Thanks again.

I can't wait to get outside and look for those two wires!! I've been probing wires for an hour and a half (since the Pop & Lock instructions say Pink/Black & Pink/Orange, which don't seem to exist!)... If only it wasn't 27 degrees and if only my bosses thought it was ok for me to waste more time playing with my new truck...

May have missed it if someone posted it, but has anyone installed the actuator on a TG with the sissy step!? Did it cause any clearance or mounting problems...I have the actuator and wiring ready to install and it looks like the plastic/rubber cover comes off easily after the flip up rod is removed....is that the case!?

The wires your looking for are under the front passenger step plate. I have a write up on this as do a few others. I have the same truck. Here the link to the complete install and pic with the wire colour I used.

I have all the wires ran, actuator installed, all pretty much ready to go. But I have been putting off finishing it due to the fussing with the wires on the 2011. Wish it were a bit easier, why would there be so many wires with the same colors that don't all do the same thing? I really don't want to poke a bunch of holes in wires and mess with all that.
