replacing all locks

spray white lithium grease in the key holes and work them a few times, works like a charm!

 

I don't sacrifice quality to save a few bucks...... What you got to replace them once every ten years? Buy the OEM stuff.

 

I was just putting that out there fella. My truck was 22 years old when I bought it and out of 4 locks only the passenger door worked. The others felt like the key would bend or break. I put the little red straw on a can of white lithium grease and shot some in the key holes and sprayed the latch and hinges. Now both doors and side doors swing, latch and lock with ease. A year later and they are all working great.

I guess I'm a penny pinching minimalist, if something isn't broke or on the verge of breaking, I'm just going to service it and carry on.

 

Sorry buddy, I tried! I had to do it a few times, myself but I guess I just got lucky.

 

Had to replace a door lock recently. One of those little plates was broken. Ordered to fit my existing keys. It came with two new keys and does fit the existing system. Now I feel the difference between new and old, no slack.
As far as I know, there is a full set of locks available from peterbilt which is cheaper than buying every single lock.
