Does the LMC tailgate handle come with the swingout part key set goes in?

Can't tell in the LMC diagram whether the handle comes with the swingout part the key set goes in. The part the keyset goes in is all messed up on mine, I don't see it sold separately anywhere.

Yes it has the base that bolts to the tail gate and the hinged part too. You will have to swap out the lock cylinder yourself. Just realize they are all the same terrible quality GM started with 30 years ago. I am on #4 in 6 years with my M1009.

Thank you Barrman! Ordered. Funny I ordered everything but that part.

I decided to play with mine while I wait for the new parts, easy peasey..... Hope this helps. Removing and installing locksets in the rear tailgate handle.

I tried various formats

Youtube is how I have to go about it every time too. Once I see it, I remember. Then a year or so later I am lost again.

I do not want to start a ruckus over this but a lot of gates I see are in need of window guides and weather strips. The regulators are all dry and the sash ends/guides on the bottom of the windows are rusty and digging into the side weather strips. I polish the ends of the bottom sash and paint them with rust inhibitor. Then I use a little grease on the ends. I have been gluing a trim lock in the glass channels and with great success. I still have the OEM rear window crank on my Crown of Thorns M1009 at 125K miles. And I open it all the time while cutting wood and all the use.

I agree, the end sash guides in the tail gate really make a huge difference. I replaced mine a few years ago. My wife taking the M1009 shopping and cranking the crank really tight after putting the window up I think is what kills my handles. Those of you who are married know there is only so much "direction" you can give before it is best to just keep a spare handle on the shelf.

Rick,
I know you like to improvise but can you explain how this works?

I sure can. That is how clan I get my parts before I lube them up and reassemble them. i take no short cuts to assure clean good as new parts to keep things moving. It also gets dirt off that don't belong there. I know the toothbrush is a bit extreme but it works. i have toothbrushes in every parts cleaner and on my work bench. Thanks for asking.
