Installing power tailgate lock on newer ram

[tinner12002]

Have any of you ram owners had the pleasure of installing a power tailgate lock on their newer..11-12 ram?
Just curious if it worked ok or if you needed to take truck to dealer to have them program it or anything.

Same here- had the dealer add a power tailgate lock actuator. It's really nice locking the tailgate with the rest of the locks. Especially on my 2012 where it was a hassle getting the real key out.
