i ordered this product to go along with my extang solid fold on my 05 ram 3500. the installation video was very informative! i watched it two or three times while waiting for this to be delivered, and by time it arrived i barely needed the instructions. the main wire that goes from back to front of the truck was barely long enough following the trucks oem harness. i also didnt use the battery tirminals for power, i think that looks cluttered. i used the positive battery post in the power distribution box, and a main ground on the frame right next to it. very clean looking. i feel much better leaving my golf clubs in back during the summer, and transporting hunting equipment and firearms legally through the fall and winter. thanks!

Very good product
by: Dave M02/07/2020
The lock was added for security reasons and was a great addition. The lock was wired to an optional output on our Compu Start alarm so that it is independent of the door lock function. When the alarm is set the tailgate along with the doors automatically lock and are monitored by the alarm, a tilt sensor was installed inside the tailgate for tailgate position.

Great product, no problems.
by: Wesley 08/28/2022
Product was easy to install following the provided instructions. Connections to wiring harness were correct with the right color coding to tap into. The only problem I had with the power tailgate lock was that after several months, the gate would not unlock when using the key fob. After investigation, I found that the latch on the solenoid required small amount of greasing to prevent from hanging up and since then I have not had any problems.

Exactly as advertised. This tailgate lock works well in my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500.
Note: I wish this company or another would make a power lock + backup camera in a tailgate handle, so both the lock and the camera would be in 1 unit.

I purchased this product to lock my Silverado tail gate and protect contents and my Xtang bed cover. The Pop and Lock device was a little difficult to install for my application, however etrailer's video instructions were excellent! Developed a minor problem with the Pop and Lock, and customer service was outstanding. I highly recommend purchasing your truck and trailering needs from Etrailer! Until my next project, thank you Michelle and Etrailer.

2004 Dodge Ram Pickup
I installed on 2004 dodge ram 2500, quad cab, turbo Cummins, 4x4. I tried running "long cable" to the engine compartment, but, there was not enough length. after a bit of looking, I ran into the cab at the grommet for the e-brake. this left me plenty of length. 2004 uses grey with light green stripe wire and light green wire. EASY INSTALL!!

I installed this power unit on my tailgate yesterday and so far it works great. Installation was pretty simple and the instructions were very accurately detailed. I like the idea of not having to keep up with another key for my tailgate. Just lock the doors and that's it.

view full answer... - Are Additional Relays Required to Install Pop & Lock PAL8340 on 2003 Dodge RamThe relays/relay harness mentioned in the video you referenced should already be present in your 2003 Dodge Ram Pickup, assuming that's what you have. You do not need to purchase any relays separately in order to install the # PAL8340. As outlined in the installation instructions, after being routed to the front of the vehicle, the long wiring harness included with the Pop & Lock Tailgate Lock is connected to the factory wiring harness leading to the driver's side door. The length of this...

- Can the Pop and Lock Powered Tail Gate Lock be Opened if it Fails in the Locked PositionPresumably if you have a bed cover of some kind, even if it locks, you would be able to open it because it has its own separate keys. Then you would get into the bed and have to remove the access panel on the tail gate to disengage the lock. If for whatever reason you could not get into the truck bed my contact at Pop and Lock said there are 2 possible options. First, if it is a mechanical issue and not an electrical one, a locksmith may be able to jimmy the latches on the sides of the...
view full answer... - Recommended Power Lock System For 2009 Dodge Ram Tailgate LockFor your 2009 Dodge Ram, the Integrated OEM Tailgate Lock # LH-007 is a fit for only 2500 and 3500 series quad cab trucks. For a 1500 series option, I recommend the Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock - Power - Black, # PAL8350. This system works with your factory power lock system, so it locks and unlocks using remote keyless entry. If you have a 1500 series with a crew cab, you will need the extention harness # PL9510 for this kit. If you have a 2500 or 3500 series without the crew...

view full answer... - The Best Tailgate Lock for a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 with Tonneau CoverWhat you need for your 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 is a tail gate lock so that it cannot be opened when you have the tonneau cover closed and locked. We have a few different options that will fit your truck. For a black manual lock you can use # PAL3400. For chrome use # PAL3400C. And for a replacement handle (black) with a lock use # LH-007. There is also an option for a power lock, # PAL8340. If your truck does not have power door locks you can install switch kit # PAL9520.
view full answer... - Tailgate Lock Recommendation for a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500I have an option for your, but the part # PAL8540 that you referenced is not confirmed to fit your 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. The closest thing we offer to that would be the Pop and Lock Tailgate Lock part # PAL8340. This will operate with the key FOB you currently have for you truck to lock and unlock the tailgate. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Will the Pop & Lock Tailgate Lock PAL8340 for a 2008 Ram 2500 Work with Backup Camera in TailgateI spoke with Pop & Lock and they said the Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock part # PAL8340 will work with a factory backup camera in the tailgate handle. If you have a MegaCab and short bed then the above is the correct part for you but if you have the MegaCab and long bed then you will need to use part # PAL8340-PL9510 as it comes with an extension that you need.
view full answer... - Tailgate Lock for 2007 Dodge Ram That Works With Power LocksYes there is a tailgate lock for your 2007 Dodge Ram that will work with your existing power locks, the Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock # PAL8340. This lock works with the power locks on your truck by connecting directly to your Ram's existing wiring. I have added a link to a video review as well as a link to an install of this lock on a Ram for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Fit of Pilot Automotive LH-007 Tailgate Lock on 2009 Dodge Ram 2500According to Pilot Automotive, their # LH-007 manual tailgate lock fits a 2009 Ram 2500, regardless of bed length or if it's a RWD for 4x4 model. For an electric tailgate locking system that ties the tailgate lock in with the door locks, Pop&Lock offers part # PAL8340 and would retain the factory tailgate handle. Long bed crew cab models would also need an extension harness, part # PL9510. I've linked to an install video if this is something that might interest you.
view full answer... - Does Pop and Lock part # PAL8340 Fit 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab Short BedSince you have a short bed truck you would not need the extension so for your 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 the correct locking tailgate latch is the # PAL8340 that you referenced.
view full answer... - Remote Activated Power Tailgate Lock Recommendation for a 2009 Dodge RamIf you have a 2500 or 3500 2009 Dodge Ram yes, the Pop and Lock Tailgate Lock part # PAL8340 would work well for you, if you had a 1500 you would instead want the part # PAL8350. Either kit does not require that your tailgate have the factory lock in the lever. If you check out the install video I attached you will see that we installed this on a tailgate without the locks.
view full answer... - Powered Tailgate Lock for 2004 Dodge Ram The Pop and Lock Tailgate lock part # PAL8340 is a powered tailgate lock that fits your 2004 Dodge Ram and would work well with the factory tailgate handle you have now.

I appreciate you following up with me. I traded in the truck to which this product was installed about three weeks ago. Im sad to say that about two months ago after being parked in my garage overnight I went out to open my tail gate to find that it would not unlock. When this happened, I noticed a strong smell that is only describable as the electrical smell coming from the rear of my truck. I had to force open my Extang Solidfold tonneau to get into my bed to disassemble the tailgate. When I did so, I found the lockunlock solenoid of the tailgate lock assembly to be melted and physically distorted from what I assume was an overheating issue. I manually forced it open to unlock the tailgate and traded the truck in with it not functioning properly.Prior to this incident I was very pleased with the product. Installation was easy and it worked very well to secure my belongings in the bed of my truck. The longevity of the product is very disappointing though. I would expect a product like this one to be good for the lift of the vehicle. Im thankful that I was at home and not at a store or a customers when this happened or it could have been potentially embarrassing.To clarify, at this time I do not have intention of purchasing one for my 2016 Chevrolet Colorado I just purchased, nor would I recommend this to a friend.
