Liftgate Actuator

[DavidJ]

Looking for a good reasonable source for parts and like so many my quest is for the electric actuator to the liftgate. Directions are always appreciated.

I second Crumm for Powerstrokeparts.com for the part/s.
I quoted the instructions from the 2002 service manual if it'll help.

Heads up there dzl_x_4x4,a fellow Excursion owner provided this LINK to a retailer that carries the standard actuators for hecka cheap.

He stated he recently changed over all (5) of his actuators for about $30 and took about 30 minutes each to knock out
