Product ReviewsSentinel Parts Tailgate Handle for 2002-2006 Avalanche 15086873

Works great and was easy to replace.

It worked great. I bought it for a friends truck I borrowed for a few days and his was broken for some time. Since I like to return things in better condition than I found them, I went on line and found this handle. He's happy.Read full review...

Mechanism slips and does not engage

It’s not well made and certainly not strong enough for this tailgate. The mechanisms don’t work. Where the two pieces are supposed to move to engage the arms to open the tailgate -one is bent and slips so that it doesn’t pull it and the handle doesn’t open one side of the tailgate. This is frustrating as we hardly ever ever use the tailgate but today we were stuck in a bad situation and I couldn’t get my truck open. I want a replacement with no charge.Read full review...

Acceptable Replacement

If you don't want to spend on Delco, this is the part for you.
The lock mechanism needs WD40 because it comes dry and hard to operate (OEM is like that too). The cable clips are of good quality.>This is a Taiwan part, so it's a step above the Chinese $14 one.

Great replacement part....

Over all a great replacement part. I watched a few videos on youtube on how to make the repair. The only problem i had was the locking clips falling off in between the tailgate. Since i lost the clips i had to use extra strength zip ties to hold the tailgate rods in place.Read full review...
