I have to use both hands to lift the locking stem when I want the door to open??? I have not looked into what to do to reverse the process or make any adjustments so that I can lift the knob more easily...but I'm going to have to do something! Any thoughts?

See if you can see the latch and lock by rolling down the window on the 3rd door and shining a good strong flashlight into the door at the back of the glass. If you can get a penetrating oil nozzle down in there and spray the back of the lock cylinder and door latch it may solve your problem.


If the ignition/door key will physically slide into the 3rd door lock cylinder I can key it the same as the other locks on the truck. If it were me I would leave it if you can get it working.
