did dodge ever offer a locking tail gate handel? i found one on ebay but i would like to have factory if i could.

 

dont know about factory but i have a bully that looks like factory and works well.

 

where did you find it? the one on ebay is a generic pic. so i dont know what it really looks like. and it only 20.00 buck so not sure it is quality.

I added one on my 06 2500 ram, works great and easy to install.

 

I installed the Bully Tailgate lock the week I bought mine. I have used them on other trucks. Like stated above it is an easy install and should be what Dodge puts on the truck.

 

Ditto Ramwheeslby4^^^^^^^^ Easy to do. I think I got mine at Pep Boys, or dealership, cant remember.

 

I bought a electric tailgate lock that locks and unlocks when the truck doors or locked or unlocked. Works great cost around $59 iasey to install.

 

that looks great. exactly what i want. thanks for the pic.

 

sounds nice. but a little fancer than i need.

 

Ditto, lock the doors with your factory remote and your tailgate locks too. http://www.pace-edwards.com/powergate.asp

 

What does the key look like? I mean, is it a decent kind of key, or a little bitty thing? I'd really like to get one if I could get it rekeyed to match the truck cap.

 

My bully is a full length key with a sizeable plastic handle. It's not like a small masterlock key to a receiver lock if that is what you are thinking.

 

i dont think you could match them. at least i could not with my cap keys they are much smaller.i'm with you tho i would like them to match. i have five keys for one truck.

 

Is there any manufacture that makes the tailgate lock that is chrome?
All Iv seen advertised is the black ones?

 

I installed this a few months ago. Works great.

I went one step further. The key is the same pattern as the five T-handles on my ARE truck cap. So, I took the tailgate handle back out, took it to a lock smith, and within 30 minutes he re-keyed it so I can use my ARE key in it- now I don't need so many keys. Hope this helps someone.
