I have a 2006 2500HD work truck that has manual everything. I am interested in changing the front doors to power locks and windows. What is the best way to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Al

Best way is sell your truck and buy one with power windows. The power for the windows runs thru the power controller for the body (windows work for a few minutes after you shut the truck off, or until you open the door). It can be added, but that's a LOT of work. Another option is to install power windows and locks, but wire them to a keyed power source, like an older car. This way they would only work when the key is on.
