Re: [DML] Lockzilla or WingsAloft???

[Jake Kamphoefner <jakekamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not exactly, Chris.   The factory module *is* weak, but only when throwing current-heavy solenoids.  For less than $100, I put in Toby's door lock actuator kit.  I can't tell a difference from the solenoids in the way the system works, and I've been using the stock lock module with them.  I drive the car everyday and lock it everywhere I go.  It works perfectly.
 
I installed them just after Pigeon Forge, and I've put about 9,000 miles on the car since.
 
I should note though, that if your stock module is already damaged, you'll need to do as Chris suggests (buy Lockzilla, repair the old module, buy a NOS module, etc.).  Mine was fine as I unhooked it when I bought the car.
