Ok, on my tailgate, just the handle part broke off, but if I grab the part that comes out, I can still open it. Its a royal pain. The lock still works, so my question is, can I just replace the handle or do I have to replace the whole thing? The idiot before me must have messed with it before since the panel on the inside is all held together by drywall screws... *facepalm*

Does anybody have a how to to do this, either way, replace just the handle, or swap the whole thing but still keep my lock?

 

there ya go man direct bolt in swap the lock over and bolt it in

hope this helps!

there are cheaper ones but the Dorman parts are quality

 

Only problem with that is don't have an eBay account as I haven't had a bank account in over 4 years.

 

Do you have any type of credit card?

 

Your local parts store should carry dorman products

 

No I do not. I only have cash. Well, I have an unemployment debit card, but its only valid at atm or pos at store

 

Yeah, best choice would be the parts store then.

 

Here ya go man go into your local auto zone and buy it they might need to order it but you can pay cash!

Goodluck!
