thrid door handle fix

[midniteblues]

I had problem brakeing my third door handle after i bought this truck back in 04 and just about every winter the handle broke twice I bought one from the dealer that cost me $40-$50 and both broke the winter after i put them in.
so after a google search one nite a few years ago on the problem i came across this handle on ebay iirc it cost somewhere around $5-10 and made very well from aluminum(havent checked latly too see if these are even still availble)
its been on there for a few years now with absolutely no problems.
I just thought i would put this out there for others who might have had the same problem

now if i could only find a good fix for the seatback adjustment handle that seems too be broken on every truck i see.I asked the dealer about this and they recomended a new seat frame at a astronomical price and all i could think was it will last as long as the third door handle
I have/had the "help" replacement handle that basicly gets attached by a set screw(i even added 2 more set screws too the handle an it still wouldnt get tight enough too work correctly) but that didnt last very long before it stripped the splines on the shaft and broke it even more and now i barely have any stud left the best thing i've found so far is a pair of vise grips
