Adding PW and Door loocks?

How difficult is it to install power windows and door locks in an 04 F250XL? And is it worth doing?

Worth is all relitive to how much value it is to you. I would find a donor truck, and buy the complete doors, for the easiest and smoothest switch. How good with tinkering are you, will you do the job yourself or pay out for it.

remember to get the door panels that match your interior because you will need them.

Oh and easy depends on your skill...

I don't think I would really want PW. The window regulators don't seem to be very strong part and even I don't have too many snow blizzard in CA, driving with the glass dropped down is not fun in my books.
PL should not be too difficult to install if you get the parts for the price that you will accept. I do have PL on my newest buy and just bough on ebay module for remote openers. $16 shipped directly from China. Got it just couple day s ago and hopefully will find time this week to install.
Remote locks not only bring lot of convenience, but save you from lot of scratches on paint job.
