So funny you posted this. Literally just used your old video to replace my 96 gmc suburban drivers door handle. 👍

sir you are now my new father thank you for your service

Thank you for posting this!!! I’m not a car guy at all and the only thing I’ve ever replaced are the brake light bulbs. Thank you for putting the part numbers in as well. Very helpful because I had like 3-4 of those clips snap right off. Got it done in an hour or so and only cursed once.

Thanks for the video, just broke my door handle in my 97 GMC 3500 HD. Wasn't sure how to get to crank off for the window. Very helpful.

Thank you so much this was very helpful I just used this is 2021 to replace my 1996 completely broken door handle before winter so no more rolling down the window to get out!

Super helpful! Personally, I cut the rivet with a pair of pliers, and didn't bother replacing it, other than that, it went pretty smoothly.

Thank you for this! Now I have a project for next weekend.

Thank you for posting this viedo. It was very helpful.

This one works, good video.

Thanks that help me out a lot

Very helpful thanks

Thank You So Helpful

Sure, if needed while it's accessible.

The 2 Phillips head screws in the handle how long are they? The truck I have don’t have the originals and the handle won’t stay snug

They would be the same on both sides, if you have one side still. I don't recall their length exactly, but they are a bit longer than an inch or so.

I was thinking rods already bent back doors won,t open outside handles appearto be forced / Not sure how to fix this ?

Not quite understanding your question, but the rods are a softer type metal as they are intended to be adjustable, slightly, as needed. So you should be able to straighten any bends out and retain the existing rods. if not, I'd suggest salvaging a new set from your local LKQ yard, they would be common across all years going back prior to 95 as well.

GM dealer service will be exceedingly expensive if they perform the work tho. Also several of the parts you may need here are discontinued by GM. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, I'd suggest a small local shop instead of the dealership.

What size rivet did you use?

@DrShock

3 жыл бұрын

I don't recall the specific size off hand. But I found a matching size to the original factory hole as part of the aluminum rivet kit that came with the Harbor Freight gun I bought many years ago. I would not presume it's anything unusual in size. The answer to this question would simply be the size that fits _snugly_

I used a screw instead of a rivet

Is the part the same for manual or electric lock?

The interior handle assembly is the same yeah, just varies by trim color which are in the description text. The procedure to disassemble is the difference and why I have both flavors of it in two separate videos.

tbh it depends. I wouldn't buy anything electrical from them, but metal and plastic mechanical parts it's less of a concern.
