GRUVENPARTS.COM BILLET STAINLESS EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE INSERTS FOR 2007-2014 GM TRUCKS - Click Here for the Product Page !
*** SOLD IN SETS OF 2 - ENOUGH FOR 1 COMPLETE DOOR HANDLE ***
GruvenParts.com is proud to release these BILLET stainless machined inserts for GM truck door handles. Check out the install instructions at the bottom of this page.
We all know the serious problem these otherwise great trucks suffer regarding the exterior door handles pulling away from the body of the truck, rendering the handle useless and making it easy for thieves to pry their way in. The short, weak threaded insert GM uses in the door handle pull right out causing the entire handle to move away from the truck body.
While GM refuses to correct this design flaw, GruvenParts has stepped up with another great product for these trucks!
Our billet machined stainless steel inserts are much longer than the OEM short knurled inserts, and thus utilize the maximum hole depth to distribute the pull stresses evenly. The outer surface of our billet threaded insert is machined with a special thread pattern which allows our insert to be threaded fully into the handle body using a standard 11mm socket.
There is no need to buy expensive replacement door handles which then require additional painting. Save your existing door handles, save money, and be done with this problem once and for all with a set of these billet stainless door handle inserts!
These inserts will replace the shallow, weak inserts which GM is using on the exterior door handles of 2007-2014 trucks, including Acadia, Traverse, Enclave, Escalade, Silverado, Avalanche, Tahoe, Suburban, Sierra, Yukon, and Denali. This includes but is not limited the following exterior front and rear door handles
15930535 20828237 20828243 22738721 15930536 20954794 20954796 20954801 22738722 20954849 22738725 20954815 20954825 15930553 25960521 20954826 25960522 15930554 20954816
Please note this is only a small list of GM truck exterior door handles. There are many more part numbers which these inserts fit into.
*** Installation Instructions ***
1. Remove exterior door handle from vehicle.
2. If threaded inserts are missing, proceed to step 3. If threaded inserts are still attached, use a 50-75mm (2-3 inch long) M6 x 1.0 bolt to thread fully into the insert. It may take a bit of torqueing once the bolt bottoms out on the handle, but soon the OEM threaded insert will become free from the handle body. Discard the OEM short threaded inserts.
3. Apply Permatex Plastic Welder P/N 84115 (readily available at Hardware stores) or equivalent to the outside of the GruvenParts billet stainless insert. A nice light coating is all that is needed. Be careful not to get any epoxy on the inside threads, as those will be used to reattach the handle to the car door.
4. Using an 11mm socket, slowly thread the GruvenParts billet stainless insert into the handle body at its appropriate location. Ensure the insert is fully engaged, with the hex head snug against the handle body. Allow epoxy to cure fully. Be careful not to get any epoxy on the inside threads, as those will be used to reattach the handle to the car door.
5. Reinstall exterior door handle. Test handle before reinstalling interior trim panel."
