Dorman - HELP Tailgate Handle P/N:15845
When the outside handle on your tailgate is cracked, broken or worn out, this Dorman tailgate handle, part number 80592CD, is an exterior replacement designed to match the original handle's fit and function. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2013-2014 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 2007-2013 GMC Sierra 1500. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
The exterior tailgate handle is the grip you pull to release the tailgate latch so the gate can open. A damaged handle can make the gate hard to open. If the handle itself is the cause, this Dorman - HELP part replaces it.
If your tailgate is hard to open, check the latch and linkage as well as the handle before ordering, since any of them can cause the problem.
