Hey, I just wanted to follow up on this. I ended up buying new door lock actuators. 2 lefts, 2 rights. (as someone mentioned before, possibly in a different thread, the rear liftglass uses a left-side actuator. And the counter guy at Advance Auto didn't know this.) I started with the rear liftglass. It was the hardest of the four. I had to sit inside the truck and close the lift to work on it. It's a pretty straight forward swap, the only catch is that I had to remove the wiper arm, and then the wiper motor to remove the lock assembly from the liftglass. After that I did the R-front door. Found a good video on YouTube

which showed everything needed to be done. After doing the front door, the 2 rear doors were simple, even if ever-so-slightly different.

And now my wife is very happy that she doesn't have to wait for me to unlock all the doors from the inside before loading our 3 daughters in my truck.
