Re: power doors

Are you asking about power windows? If so depending on the year you may need to swap doors that have power windows if you are going for factory. If it's a custom kit that may not be the case.

If you are asking about power locks a custom kit is pretty easy to make work.

If you are asking about power doors I really have no idea but $125 seems way to cheap for a quality power door kit.

Re: power doors

I bought some power doors off a 87 chevy truck for 100 for both doors
wires were cut at the door jamb
went to the junk yard found a suburban with power doors
and just got all the wire
snipped anything that was for the back doors

Re: power doors

As long as you have the wiring it should be plug and play. You will need the relay down by the brake pedal out of the suburban if you did not get it already. I have power windows on my son's Blazer and the harness was chopped up. We have repaired it and now just going to put it back in and see what happens...good luck

Re: power doors

My understanding is that the doors are the same... They all have the holes for both regulators.. Having said that, I have aftermerket doors that only have the holes for the manual regs.
Not a big deal to drill a couple of holes though.

sounds like a good deal
post a pic of your fuse box,may just plug/add in
my 87/88 burbs stock doors switched to manual crank no drilling
the 87 was window crank/power locks,it was wired differently(colours the same,different spots in plug,watch that...
