I replaced both door lock actuators on my '99 right after purchasing it. Now I'm about to have to replace the drivers side unit again - it's back to only popping about halfway when being cycled. Granted, it's been four years since the replacement, but the truck probably hasn't accumulated more than 5-10k miles in that time.
For those of you that have replaced yours, what brand has actually held up well since the repair? Looks like I can get the Motorcraft unit for about $50-60. If that'll really be a long term fix then I'm willing to spend that. But if it's no better than the $10-15 generic then I won't bother.
