I finally was successful today in getting the door open. After much study of the passenger side door and fiddling, I determined that the plastic bushing where the outer handle connects was stuck in the down position. I opened the window, and then bent the end of a welding rod and hooked it...
So I have removed the trim piece around the handle. I can grab onto the cable which attaches to the lock with needle nose pliers, but it is tight. When I try to move it (it doesn't move very far due to the limited room) it feels basically like the switch itself - there is resistance at the end...
I lubed the lock well and still no dice. Whether I try to move the inner lock or the key, it just won't get 100% of travel in the unlock direction.
I believe there is a rod connecting it to the knob on the door panel. I've owned the truck for 8+ years and haven't had to do the actuator...
So the other day I drop the kid off at school and go back out to the truck, hit the unlock button, and the driver door will not unlock. I open the rear door and try to actual the power lock switch, no luck. I then try unlocking it manually with the switch itself and it will not click over all...

I'd like the overhead console center between front and rear seat (if it is gray) and would also like the harness pigtails (for the console) as well if possible.
It may have been covered somewhere, but I couldn't find it... Could one just drop the output hose from the transmission cooler into a bucket to empty, then fill a bucket with fresh atf and put the input hose into the transmission into this bucket? Run motor until bucket is empty/ atf is clean...
Yeah, you are right about the roof rack. I am in the process of moving from a 70 hour a week job that never gave me the time to do ANYTHING :). I'm just proud I got the time to wax it before I had to head out of town. It is a bit over the top for some, I'm kinda with you in that I like the...
Just got a new battery for it yesterday. And there is one bid on Ebay, so it is going to be sold to someone. I'm wondering if I'm been too honest in my ads or something ;). There are others out there in worse shape with a lot less mods/ etc, that are going for more. Just seems like much less...
I've got a new front bumper for my truck finally fitted up. It was custom made by Andy - aka "Bamachem". Anyway, I'm getting the truck back in the next day or so and am pondering my options for painting the bumper and wanted to get your opinions. Here are my options I am looking at in order...
Ok, I decided to drop the price to $5K for one day to see if if will sell before putting it up on Fleabay.
Someone buy it!!! You could part it for more than this.
I only towed a smaller sized trailer. I wouldn't recommend towing anything large with it since it is SOA (that and the 3FEs are not legendary in the power department).
If you want to tow, a 100 series might be for you, it has the most power of the family (of course a 200 series has more if you...
