Hi all
I just bought a 2007 Chevy express G2500 cargo van and I was wondering if its possible to add power windows and power locks with remote control plus possibly an alarm system
more specifically my questions are:
1. power locks and remote/alarm system---
a) should I use a universal kit that I found on amazon.com? (I was told by the seller that it comes with the wires and also remote and alarm)OR is there a possibility that the existing wiring harness includes the wires and I just need to purchase the actuators and the switches (OEM kit) and just hook them up to the existing harness?
b) if an OEM kit doesnt exist can someone recomend a universal kit? (the one im looking at seems to be for a four door car and im afraid it wont be durable enough for the van)
2. power windows---
a) this question is along the same lines as above, in other words does Chevrolet sell a kit or do I need to go with a universal one?
b) if i need to purchase a universal kit where do i get one (for two windows)?
last question. I d rather have this installed by a pro. Can you guys recommend someone in central Jersey that does this kind of work?
thanks

I do not know if the kit I am thinking of is a GM piece or an aftermarket piece.  I think it is aftermarket, I can find oiut Monday.  We have done window conversions with the spal kits that slide over the splined shaft that the window crank mounted to.  They work but do come back with problems.  Recently we have done several for the local GM dealer, these kits are a bit more involved as far as installation, but they are rock solid and have never had one come back.  They are replacement regulators with an electric motor built onto them.  They bolt up to the original bolt holes that the old regulator comes out of.  A bit more involved than a Spal upgrade kit, but way more reliable.

What are the new kits Craig, Electric Life? Used to be able to get Spal kits with Heavy Duty motors. We were doing about 3 a week 10 years ago. In answer to the original post, pull the driver's door panel and see if there's any spare wiring.

Hey, thanks for your reply
(Im not gonna make jokes about your name_im sure someone has done that already_LOL!)
Just to clarify, my van has manual windows and locks and im looking to ADD power windows and locks
im referring to this comment you made "They bolt up to the original bolt holes that the old regulator comes out of."
are you an installer? are you local? if so can you give me an idea of how much it would cost for you to install them?

I am local to me, but I have no idea where you are. 

howie I will find out who makes this kit and let you know.  The vehicles were not prewired for windows.  The kit comes with switches  and harness.

Mr I eats Cajun and I eat fish and chips, he's 2000 miles south and I'm 3000 miles east to far for mobile work so I think you should use the directory on this site.

thanks
