Power Tailgate Lock for 2020 Tundra Platinum Crewmax PK3B6-34JS0

Does anyone have experience installing one of these? I have the part but have yet to install it. Seems a little different then the pop and lock and I can't find any good instructions on the web.

 

Haven't done it (yet) but here are the instructions. Keep me (us) posted on how it all goes!

 

You are the man! This is exactly what I needed. I'll keep you posted.

 

Can you post pictures of the parts please.

 

I am but a messenger.

 

If you take a look at the document I shared, it shows most of the parts along the way.

 

Yea but a quick picture of what’s in the box wouldn’t hurt

 

I’ll post pics when I get home, no problem

 

Can’t believe that’s not standard equipment already! I got lucky and it was on the truck I bought, just crazy how loud it is.

 

Got it installed. Totally plug and play and well made. Didn’t have to slice/tap/hack anything. It works great. There was one discrepancy in the instructions but overall a great kit and I’m totally happy.

 

Sweet! How loud is it?

 

Slightly louder than the door lock. Doesn’t bother me.

 

And what was the discrepancy?

 

Is this the "pop lock" kit? I didn't realize it was oem.

 

Step 6e- route the wire harness from the passenger side floorboard to the tailgate. The instructions says to remove the grommet from the floorboard and discard it so that tailgate lock wire harness with new grommet can be used. My platinum has an existing wire going through that grommet so I can not simply discard it. Not sure if other trim have this wire going through the grommet or not. I ended up just pulling the existing grommet out of the way and pushing the new grommet into the hole with the existing wire in place.

 

How long for the install? Always takes me twice as long as most people post;(

 

It should take about an hour.
Recommend glancing through the instructions before starting the job. Be careful not to lose the push nut retainer that secure the actuator arm to the clevis. It fell out of the bag when I remove the actuator. Took me a couple of minutes to find it.

 

Got mine installed today as well. Plug and play. Very happy with it. The instructions were spot on with one exception. I did not need to remove the heat shield for the exhaust. Maybe because I have the TRD dual exhaust system. My grommet in the passenger foot well did not have any wires running through it so I discarded mine. The hardest parts for me were getting the passenger kick panel back on. Trying to get the panel to slide over the upper clip was a PITA. So I popped it out of the sidewall and clipped it into the kick panel and was able to get it back in. Also I don’t have a lift so getting under the truck was a bit harder and took longer than expected. I’m not a small guy. Also watch out for the heat shields under the truck they are extremely sharp. Cut my hand a couple times on the edges so I put on gloves, but too little too late . I also put in some dynamat in the tailgate to deaden the noise of the actuator. But honestly it’s not that loud even without it. I think it’s much quieter than the pop and lock version. Total install time for me was about 2 1/2 hours. Happy to answer any questions anyone might have.

 

It is not. It’s OEM.

 

Mine is a 20 Platinum as well. Really weird that I have the wire and you don’t. The wire on mine goes out and towards the tailgate area. Do you have the factory bed lights installed?

 

@Roman , do you guys have these available?

 

I bet that’s it, because I don’t have the bed lights.

Looks like two versions for different bed lengths

 

anyone know if tis kit will work on previous years? 2016 perhaps?

 

Order it and try it out lol I wanted to order for my 17 but Roman wasn’t sure if it fits or not.

 

Factory bed lights? 2019 Platinum and no bed lights here? Please tell me more!

 

*dealer installed bed lights, not factory...

 

Ah ha - tell me more? Cost, photos, part numbers, etc? Thanks!!
