I ordered this item back in May 2011 to replace the OEM part that came on my 2003 Silverado and which, after 8 years of use, had broken. In looking online I found this one at a fraction of an OEM replacement and now I know why. The last couple of months I noticed that it was getting harder to open the tailgate and this evening this cheap piece of junk broke. I'd understand this if the rod connected to the tailgate latch was difficult to move, but after it broke I grabbed it with a pair of pliers and it very easily unlatched, leading me to the conclusion that this handle is just cheap. My advice, just spend the money and buy an OEM replacement part, not this knock-off, otherwise you'll be wasting money and supporting a sub-par manufacturer.
