INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE RATTLE (INSTALL REVISED CONTROL ASSY)

Subject: INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE RATTLE

Model and Year: 1988-91 C/K TRUCKS -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some 1988-1991 C/K trucks may experience an interior door handle rattle due to an over travel condition when the door handle is released or when the door is slammed. The over travel causes the lower flange of the door handle to strike the bezel.

To correct this condition, it will be necessary to replace the inner door handle housing for the interior door handle. The revised inner door handle housing reduces the size of the lower flange on the handle. This reduction in the size of the flange provides the necessary clearance to the bezel, thereby eliminating the door rattle.

Before performing the following service procedure, it is necessary to make sure that the actual cause of the rattle is the inner door handle. To do this, wrap a piece of cloth around the door handle and release the door handle. If the rattle stops, it is likely that the rattle can be eliminated by installing the revised inner door handle housing.

SERVICE PROCEDURE:

1. Remove the door trim panel (refer to "Door Trim Replacement" procedure in the appropriate service manual).

2. Drill out the six (6) rivets holding the inner door handle housing in place.

3. Remove the control rods from the inner handle housing.

4. Remove the inner door handle housing.

5. Disconnect the power switch wire harness (if applicable).

6. Install a revised inner door handle housing (P/N 22086873 (LH) or 22086874 (RH)).

7. Connect the power switch wire harness (if applicable).

8. Connect the control rods to the inner door handle housing.

9. Install the inner door handle housing rivets.

10. Install the door trim panel.
