I had to take my father-in-law's John Deere mower to get it serviced about thirty miles south of here. Got there just fine but on the way home, one of my trailer tires blew and I didn't have a spare.
Luckily there was still enough left around the rim that I was able to limp it back here about three miles and get new tires. After looking at the other one I found dry rot on it so I replaced them both. All is good and I love my truck!

Trailer tires going to hell can be a very exciting ride

Well........ Funny you should say that Gerry.
I ordered awhile ago, a electric locking system for the Tailgate.
I want the tailgate to operated with the other locks on the Truck.
Today after work I had a little time to play. I removed the tailgate plastic cover. Got a good look at how this electrical mechanism is to be installed. That's all for now. Tuesday or Wednesday I hope to finish.
Have Fun

installed one on my 12 a few weeks ago (Pop & lock),, drilling the hole in the passenger sill area is the pain.. other than that.. pretty easy.. they give u two new crimp terminals cause u need to shorten the wire (6ft on my CCSB)..
tested first, then ran the wires..
still need to clamp the loop against the body there. (passenger sill to chassis)

I assume you connected so it takes 2 clicks on the remote to trigger the tailgate ......
