On my 3rd! suitable spare part

I have already exchanged the drive on the driver's side 3 times. This Dorman crap is bullshit! They say they have a lifetime guarantee. How do I get her to replace that crappy part three times!?

Pros
  • good assembly
Cons
  • no paint required

Direct Replacement for 2008 Silverado

This was a direct replacement for the Driver Side Lock Actuator for the 2008 Silverado LS. I was surprised there was one more lock than the passenger door, but it worked fine. Well worth the extra cost for the Dorman part just to get into the door panel once.

Pros
  • Complete Kit
Cons
  • Update Availability

Locks work again in spares

I installed this on a 2008 Yukon. Yukons and Tahoes have a known problem with automatic locks. They stop working and the dealer charges $400 to fix each door. Decided to fix it myself. Installation was difficult due to the confined space required to work inside the door and two rods to be attached to the lock actuator. Luckily I attached both, it only took 1/2 hour. Now the locks work perfectly.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Something else

Don't buy this cheap junk.

I bought this product about a month ago. I installed it when it arrived about a week later. So it hasn't been in my car for a month today. About 2 weeks after installation it started to fail sporadically and now it won't open my driver's door at all. I am buying and returning a Delco AC motor. Dorman one. I will never buy a Dorman product again.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Not sure

a lot of work but fits like a glove

a lot of work but fits like a glove. I would order the passenger door if things go bad. I hope it works and lasts better than the OEM parts. I thought I saved over $400 in parts and labor by doing the job myself. I don't know if this part is under warranty or not. There was nothing in the box. I hope I don't have to find out. It is very nice when you press the key fob and the door lock works. Go to hell with the Chevy and GMtoo dealer for not recalling all your faulty locks.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Functionality

stop working properly

Worked great for about a month then there was a 'latch' when you pull the handle to open the door. The locking piece at the end of the cable has a place where it latches and does not release the lock. Because of this, the door does not open. A return of the goods is not possible. I had to keep my old one as it worked except for the power outage. Shortly after my initial check, I smeared the latch with some petroleum jelly and fiddled with it a bit, and now the "latch" seems to be gone. I willโ€ฆ

Door Sticks Closed (Open)

I liked the low price, but after only three years of use, my driver's door became stuck and stuck. I've tried everything to open it but to no avail. Stuck for two days now. I never thought this could happen until I started searching how to open it. This seems to happen quite often on Silverado (mine is 2008). It is recommended to replace this part as soon as you experience problems with it. I guarantee you won't want your door stuck like mine did. It's such a headache. Update: I opened the lock

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

DO NOT BUY! - Motors

Do not buy this actuator. I installed it on the driver's door of a 2008 Chevy Silverado about a month ago. It worked fine for a few days before I started having problems with it. Now 3 weeks later it only works about 40% of the time. I'm glad nobody stole anything from the truck because of that. The lock doesn't work. I found out about it as I left the entrance. Although the door was locked and appeared to be tightly shut, it swung open as I walked out. I have to slam the door several times for

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Modern

Very easy to replace.

If you have a GM car, chances are everything about your car is a mess. All 4 burned out on my 2009 Tahoe because of the cheap 20 cent Chinese electric motor in that lock block. Of course, it is almost impossible to replace only the failed electric motor, it is easier to replace the entire drive. Replacing this actuator is quite easy, it's about 30 minutes work with regular tools, there are many videos on You Tube describing the replacement step by step. This Dorman unit looks identical to theโ€ฆ
