KODIAK door handles on my pick up

Remove the four screws holding both halves together and it will fall out.

Thanks Leroy I got them out but the old ones from my truck seem a little loose in the Kodiak housing. Maybe I will order some new ones from the dealer.
 
I think there is a little rubber shim/gasket to firm it up in the hole. Even a drop of Goop adhesive would do.
 
I bought these used there was no rubber shim I could see there is a metal ring around the Kodiak cylinder I will have try to re-use it with my cylinder once I have it all fit nice I was thinking some Goop or jb might seal it in good.
 
Ok I am hoping that I won't have to ever take them out again but a little rubber o-ring kit I have in the workshop should do the trick

As far as I know no. Not GM parts anyway. I can get aftermarket still. I have no idea on price or quality as Ive not bought any yet.
 
I'd jump on those, Looks like aftermarket parts, but who cares at that price. Let us know the quality if you buy.
Your still going to have to modify linkages to get them to work though.
 
I bought a set of the aftermarket ones on ebay, they are of very comparable quality to the OEM set I have. FYI

Something I've wanting to do for awhile now. These handles fit a 88-2000 Kodiak or whatever years that they had the same cab as our P/U's.
I bought everything new, but a junk yard if you can find one will be cheaper. I am actually looking for the rear handles and linkage if someone knows where a set is let me know.

Linkage for the Kodiak is alittle shorter. Old one could be cut and rebent.

You need a few parts like the lock paw that go's on the lock cylinder and the linkage from the cylinder to the lock latch and a few clips.

New handle is a bolt on deal except for the linkages.

I have all the part #s if anyone is interested I can post them. I also buy wholesale from GM so I can round up the parts also if needed.
