Dorman 931 636 Door Actuator Motor Review

Unfortunately the lock housing is poorly constructed. The barrel posts (bolt holes) holding the frame are too short, so tightening the bolts with more than 9 in-lb of force will cause the internal components to seize, preventing the release mechanism from moving freely. This occurs regardless of whether the unit is built into the actual door. We don't have time to send back and reorder, so we're working on some Loctite right now and will take care of that later.

This fitted the front left hand door of my 03 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab but when everything was finished I noticed the door handle was a little sloppy when you lift it to open the door, I took it off and compared it to the original. I have found that the lever on the block that the door handle shaft connects to is not the same and that is causing this problem. . Otherwise, it's a cheap replacement that does what it's supposed to.

Came with a broken tongue. What I was able to salvage from the old part. Then when I installed it, the actuator didn't work with the manual locking piston. So I took it off the truck and disassembled it. Then I found a broken gear inside. I was also able to salvage the gearbox from the old part. Currently the drive is working fine but I would not recommend others to buy it. Poorly assembled, the plastic looks brittle.

When my drivers door was unlocked but all other locks were locked when I pressed the lock button on my remote. While I could lock my door manually, losing the ability to use the remote to lock ALL of your doors is a pain once you get used to this type of technology. Realizing something was wrong and knowing a little about auto repair, I searched for "door lock actuators" for my truck and only found complete door brackets/lock assemblies. When I realized they are the same, I ordered one…

Same as others said. If you put it on properly, it will be very difficult to open the door. It could potentially weaken with years of use, but my key won't last that long. It really takes a lot of strength. About to bend the key. It is possible to loosen the 3 screws holding it to the door but it is still very tight. Even if left loose, the mechanism isn't as smooth as a factory part. My 2500 doesn't have keyless entry, so I know very well how it should be. Since I've only driven 90,000 km, it…
