Review on πŸ”’ Power Tailgate Lock PL8100 - Enhance Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, and Mitsubishi Models by Joey Pritchard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

work great Using longer screws makes life easier

Love this system. I installed it on my own 1995 GMC pickup. I originally had a pop lock panel protecting my tailgate and lost it. The plate required a separate key which I could use for 20 years until I lost it. That's the beauty of this system. The PL8100 connects to your automatic door locking system and locks when you lock the truck using the remote control or from inside. Very cool system. The instructions for hooking it up to your system are straightforward, and the only moderately difficult part was running the cables under the truck and into the cab from the back, which anyone with a mechanical tilt can do. The hardest part is attaching the Pop & Lock (three screws) to the tailgate. I would suggest taking a few longer screws first and using them as a guide to pull the Pop & Lock silver plate and OEM bracket together when screwing them together. Without starting bolts it is very difficult to start the factory "short" bolts. You can still use the OEM screws as the final adjustment, but first use the longer of the long screws as a guide to hold both the P&L and OEM latch assemblies in place.

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • Some little things
