To correct this do I need to replace the door handles or is there a replacement spring that will fix this. If a spring replacement where is the spring replaced and are there any pictures or diagrams available? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 603 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 603 | You may do a search or tech tips on this site. I have seen this discussed before, but cannot remember the remedy. Someone had a way to fix this.

Last time mine needed work, I took it apart and used an old one for reference. Good luck & have fun working on your truck. Bill
