Door Lock Actuators - will these work?

Anyone tried these door lock actuators? They look like they're coming from a reputable place and they say they are heavy duty; but the price seems too good to be true. I have been shopping on Ebay consistently for 8 years now, and have never gotten "burned". What do you guys think about these??? Neither the driver or passenger locks work in my truck and I want to fix them. I saw the DIY on the acutators where you use tin foil; but I don't want to take everything apart to try that method. I feel like I should just fix it right.

I bought an aftermarket one awhile back and within a couple weeks it didn't have the power to unlock my door anymore, so I got a used OEM from a junkyard and it's still works like a charm!

Actuators are not very expensive. My truck had manual locks and this week I had them converted to power lock via a remote pod. I bought both the pod (keyless remote) and the actuators from Bulldog Security. The actuators were less than $8 each
