1. Purchase an aftermarket screen and add the backup camera ($400 - 1000 for the unit).
2. Purchase a MyGig on eBay ($400 - 600).
3. Have a screen installed into your visor like I did on my '07 and flip it down when you need to see behind you. ($150 - 250 for the screen).

You have 3 options:
1. Purchase an aftermarket screen and add the backup camera ($400 - 1000 for the unit).
2. Purchase a MyGig on eBay ($400 - 600).
3. Have a screen installed into your visor like I did on my '07 and flip it down when you need to see behind you. ($150 - 250 for the screen).

But I am wanting a screen in the truck for gps and etc I guess you can say.
What would be better option 1 or 2 you think? 2 might be easier friendly on the install since dodge makes it.
Both should have the same capabilies. option 2 seems cheaper as you quoted. lol hmmm so I am look at about $800 for the screen and backup camera.

My father just picked up a 2009 RAM 1500 4x4 Crew with a November '08 build date and wants a locking tailgate. Some dealers say "can't do it" and others say there is a bulletin but that his truck doesn't qualify. Seems like your route with individual part numbers should work, but I'm just looking for verification.
I ran the numbers by the Parts Department and here's what they translate into:
68044904AB - Handle
68044867AB - Control Unit
68049237AA - Link
4589709AB - Cylinder
Thanks.

Any permanent modification required? Cutting, etc..?

Local dealer (in Canada), parts are $123.92 and they'll install it for $66.
Happy with the product so far? When you say power deadbolt, it's just locking the handle itself from being raised. It doesn't add any linkages to the outside latches, right...?

Have you received the parts and done the retrofit now? How did everything go?
