But the part fit well. Give 3 stars from

Made in China. So let's see how long it lasts. The design differs from a standard Ford OEM part. But the part fit well. I give 3 stars to start with. Just installed today. Will increase its rating to 4 stars if it lasts a year. When he turns 3 years old, upgrade him to 5 stars. The part doesn't look as solid as a Ford OEM part. I'm tough on this particular part as it's a pain to remove and replace. And to uninstall and reinstall this part, I think it needs to be made more rigid. I saw other…

Failed within a few months.

Close to OEM for my 1999 Ford F150 4x4 Supercab. Seems to be of good quality despite being made in China. Not as good as a Ford Genuine but works as advertised and is about half the retail price. Installation was agonizing, but it's the same design as Ford and it's not the manufacturer's fault. Fixed issues after installation where the electric door lock didn't work at all or worked sluggishly. Ford's final check to the OEM for this part was $49 retail plus shipping and local taxes. So with…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Crumpled

Removing the door was very easy. I recommend using a bungee cord.

I have ordered a passenger door lock actuator (Dorman 746-149) for a Ford F150 XLT. It arrived very quickly via USPS. I've searched both "2001 F150 door panel removal" and "2001 F150 door operator" on Youtube and found several videos detailing the removal and replacement procedures. Removing the door was very easy. I highly recommend using a bungee cord to keep the window channel out of the way. This only made removing the actuator easier. Nobody mentioned it, but I also pushed the two plastic…

Pros
  • Heavy Duty Construction
Cons
  • Non Automatic

DO NOT BUY! It's a waste of time. Get the real deal. What filth!

Initially gave an excellent rating. But this rating reflects the fact that the mechanism NOW just hums and doesn't lock/unlock the door. What garbage! I will check for a return guarantee! Looking back at other's feedback, I see that there are several other consumers with the SAME EXACT COMPLAINT. I hope Revain helps with that. Update: Revain Dorman contacted dedicated support who said they would send a replacement. It was very difficult to return the product as we needed a spare to…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable

Installation Tips - 2001 Ford F-150

Purchased for the driver and passenger of a 2001 Ford F-150. Installation was a lot easier than I thought. It took me about an hour for the first page and about 20 minutes for the second. Pros: price, ease of installation Cons: plastic levers vs. OEM metal levers Unknown: durability Installation instructions are available online, but here are a few tips that may not be included: - Don't take the window channel bracket off, unclip it. This allows enough space to remove/insert the drive. If you…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Older Model
