I replaced the lock actuators on the passenger side doors of my 2010 1500 Crew Cab truck. The first time I did it, I didn't think about taking pictures of the process, but then I didn't get a rod hooked up and had to take it back apart to correct that. I took photos of that process that gave me enough photos to be able to do a write up. Here it is.
The only tools you will need are: A couple of small flat screwdrivers about 4-6 inches in length, Phillips screwdriver, Pliers (I used needle nose), 10MM socket and 5MM socket and wrench or drill, T30 torx driver and if you screw out the plugs in the second step a T5 (I think) driver, and a short piece of heavy wire to hold the glass up.
First step, remove the screw and the panel behind the handle. There is a small cover over the screw that you can remove with a small flat screwdriver.
,
Then remove the fasteners that hold the panel on. They are a two piece fastener that has a screw shaped insert and then a expanding plug. The insert can be screwed lightly, or what I did was use a flat screwdriver to pull it out, then pull the plug out.
