Review on Dorman 77096 Driver Replacement Exterior by Jeff Rhodes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works but could be better

This is a GMC K2500 job from 1998. Look on youtube how to install. The trim on this one is too small and it took some 'management' to get it to fit and stay on the handle. I wish they made everything in one piece and it was a lot easier to install. The key to getting it back and holding the door lock cylinder is to slightly cut the retaining tab on the lock cylinder into the groove. click on this handle. I made both doors and they are both the same. This plastic is way too thick and you will need to use a precision knife to cut it to fit this tab. If you don't, you'll have to take the door apart twice like I did and learn the hard way to fix it. MAKE SURE IT CLOSES INTO THE TAB OR YOUR LOCK WILL PUSH WHEN YOU PUT THE KEY INTO IT! Trust me I've done it twice. The hole I'm talking about is at the bottom of the handle where the cylinder goes in. It has a square shape.

Pros
  • Very fast delivery
Cons
  • No performance
