it says on the autoloc webpage that since i will be using my truck everyday that i need 75lb or 100lb solenoids is this true? are ne of yall out there drivin everyday with 35lb or 50lb solenoids?

NO.. you will bend ur stuff.. i would go w/ 35lbs or possibly a 50 if they were on sale. Just make sure the bracket holding the solenoids is STRONG.. cause u do not want to break into ur truck because u got lazy making a bracket.

autoloc 15lbs soliniods are ideal for mazdas because they are such a light door.. not door lock actuators

just put my autoloc 15lb solenoids in this weekend and are working great. they have plenty of enough pwer to pull the latch open. you dont want anything to strong, cuz the door latch on the mazdas are pretty flimsy.
