AWSOME! Thank you Steve '62!
This is the exact feedback I have been looking for. Granted I need to go out and tear the door apart again to inspect and troubleshoot it myself, I just haven't had the time as the truck has been busy for weeks on end now. But regardless, when I take it apart ill reference the above.
Since there still seems to be some confusion, this is not a discussion on a worn out door hardware problem, its specifically for disengaging the inside handle door lock which is a totally separate locking door mechanism from the outer key lock and very easily leads to locked-out situations.
