Last Friday I bought 300k mile pickup. After a test drive that wasn't too bad I learned the driver door wouldn't open from the inside. I had already learned none of the windows worked. Nonplussed I slid across and got out the passenger door. The overall condition is great and the price was right. I rolled my Beemer into the bed and strapped it down with the 8' bed. Hit the road and drove nearly 300 miles home.
The cast door handle was broken where the cable connects so I wrapped a bit of safety wire on the cable so I could pull it. That worked for days while I waited for time to install the replacement part. Then it stopped working. I did discover that if I tugged on the door latch without pulling the door lock up it would jam for a while. I can't understand what's going on there but after working fine when I parked in my driveway Sunday night I can no longer open the door at all from inside or out. I'm open to suggestions.
For what it's worth this is an extended cab truck. Also open to suggestions for a proper forum for this truck.
Sadly I'll be selling my awesome Tahoe soon.
