You are a Godsend! We had our rig broken into at my wife's workplace and needed to replace the door handle. Thanks for the video!

[@javosgarage]

You're very welcome for the video Ade and I'm super happy to hear it was helpful to you. I'm sorry your truck got broken in to, I definitely feel your pain. Glad you you got it fixed. I appreciate you stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment. Thanks!

[@roccofalzone9369]

Awesome! Thanks so much, fixed mine. Bought a a used 350, looked like someone tried to break in.

[@javosgarage]

@Rocco Falzone - Sounds like you had the same problem I did! So glad to hear you found my video to be helpful to you. Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a moment to leave me some feedback - much appreciated!

[@roccofalzone9369]

Yes sir! Mine was busted/cracked out. I was not able to open my lock manually. When I removed it the clip was missing also, lock fell right out. Followed your video and suggestions step by step and it was such an ease.

[@javosgarage]

@Rocco Falzone - Sorry Rocco, YT doesn't notify me when someone responds to a previous post so I didn't see your comment until I came across it today. Super glad to hear my video was able to help you get your job done!

[@kneetotheface]

used this guide to replace a few door handles on Ol' Boosted Betty, The Grey Ghost. '04 f250 about to hit 302k and i can open my driver door now to get innnnn!!!

[@javosgarage]

WooHoo! It's nice when your door handle works again, isn't it? Super glad to hear this video was helpful to you. Give Boosted Betty my best. I appreciate you stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment. Thank you.

Great video! Went step by step installing this handle on my 2004 F-350. Saved big bucks I'm sure. Thanks!

Thanks alot for the help great video with step by step. Help me changed my broken handle

[@jaykrauser1345]

Great video. The same thing happened to my truck, they broke into it the same way your truck was broken into. Based on your video, I was able to replace the handle very easily! Thank you!

[@javosgarage]

Glad it helped

[@oddlyrightoddlyright2475]

Awsome thanks for posting this…..word of the wise for anyone shopping on Amazon….just because they says it’s motorcraft doesn’t mean it’s motorcraft

[@javosgarage]

Good point and I completely agree! This does happen on Amazon, eBay too for that matter. Make sure to inspect the part when it arrives and look for Motorcraft stamped into the material. BTW this handle is still working great for me. Luckily I haven't had any more attempts to steal my truck (despite living in the auto theft capital of the USA). I'm glad you enjoyed my video. I appreciate you stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment. Thank you!

[@oddlyrightoddlyright2475]

@@javosgarage I bought (motor craft) pushrods when I was fixing up my 6.0 powerstroke with about 10 minutes run time I bent two of them…so the stock ones went back in….oh well

[@javosgarage]

Ouch!! I feel your pain with the 6.0. Mine has a cracked head on the LH side that is leaking fuel into my coolant. The fuel degrades orings and now the donut under my intake is leaking too. Fun project up ahead! I'm taking that on here shortly. You'll see a video on it at some point.

[@Sabrinadober]

Can you do a video on what you unhooked so they were not able to steal it please

Awesome video, excellent quality! 👍

[@javosgarage]

@alwaysup2late - Thank you very much for compliments!

[@meradu2]

I wish I knew this before I have got my truck stolen and I needed to replace my door lock and the ignition switch That’s the reason watching this video for the door handle but I like what you said they disconnected the battery and the fuel pump relay I wish I’ve done that before but anyway lesson learned thank you for the video Ps if by any chance you still own this truck the police told me that there is a video on KZbin somebody showing how they steal these trucks in 30 seconds 🤔 I am putting a blank for my door handle no key And I purchase a remote control relay to disconnect the batteries , like your truck 👍

[@javosgarage]

I'm sorry to hear your truck got stolen but I'm happy for you that it was recovered. I live in Denver and we have the honor of being the auto theft capital of the country right now so I pull the fuse for my FICM every night when I park my truck in the driveway. I had a neighbor two doors down have his truck stolen during the day out of his driveway and my next door neighbor had their Jeep broken into. When it warms up here (my truck won't fit in the garage) I'm going to install a hidden toggle switch that will make it quick and easy to prevent the theft of my truck instead of having to pull the fuse. It's a shame that's where we've come. Good luck with your truck, I'm glad you got it back. Thank you for stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment, much appreciated!

[@SharonDawson-pb6mi]

thank you for your video. Amazon says that part number is 10' X 8" mine is about 7" X 5"

[@javosgarage]

Hi Sharon. I just hopped over to Amazon to look at that for you. I'm not sure why they are giving that dimension, I thought maybe it was referring to the packaging but it's not. I think they may have just put the wrong information in, it happens. That listing is from Hiller Ford in Franklin, WI so they are a reputable Ford parts source. You could contact their parts department at 414-377-4647 to verify fitment (have your VIN number ready when you call). As you can see, it fit my truck perfectly. I hope that helps you. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for stopping by!

well done vido

[@pouncerminned863]

The driver side door lock rod that goes to tailpiece fell out, how do I reinsert the rod? Not to the lock but on the other end? I see a hole but the rod is flat and doesn’t fit

[@itsnowornever4]

But was curious as to why you went back with the black handle instead of the chrome?

[@javosgarage]

The chrome is just a cover. I did remove that from my broken handle and installed it on my new handle so it matches the others. I show that at the 17:00 mark of the video. Hope that answers your question.

[@Yamaha1933]

awesome truck man. I have a 6.7 with those chrome trim pieces on the door handles underneath the trim the color matches my truck is it just adhesive sticking those chrome pieces to the door?

[@javosgarage]

@Chris Musso - Thanks Chris! It's been a love-hate relationship with my 6.0 but ultimately I really do like my truck. Actually, I just finished shooting a full flow coolant filtration video that should be coming out in the next week. On the door handles - there is some double sided 3M tape on the back that secures it in position. In the case of this video I carefully (maybe luckily is a better word) removed the cover without breaking it so I just replaced the tape and reinstalled the cover. It's a two piece design: 1. for the door handle and 2. the surrounding trim. They've held up well, whenever they start to dull I give them a polish and they look new again. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for stopping by!

[@danm9122]

@@javosgarage Could you possibly post a link of which chrome handle covers you have been using? There are several available on Amazon and I would like to know which one's you have had good luck with. Thanks!

[@javosgarage]

@Dan M - Hi Dan. Let me see what I can do. I bought those a few years ago so I'm not sure I will be able to find my receipt. I will get back with you tomorrow.

[@danm9122]

@@javosgarage No worries about the handle covers- I went with the highest rated covers (Putco brand) that fit my truck. Thanks for posting the video- it took me less than 30 minutes from start to finish. I'm glad to have this nagging little job finished! Thanks again!

6:49 that vertical bar you moved, when I went to rebolt it the hole was off/extremely difficult to rebolt and now my window crawls at a snails pace. Any idea what happened? :(

[@kneetotheface]

the bracket attached to the guide bar maybe got bent? those holes should re-align quite snug and the bolt should screw in relatively smooth. if not, there is a weird lateral tension on the window glass that is pinching it.

[@jamesb1988]

@@kneetotheface It ended up being the rear verticle black rubber guide piece that window slides through while going up and down... somehow it got a kink in it and was extremely difficult to line back up properly, but eventually I got it :)

[@WolfPackProductions1320]

My handles are metal and I've never had a problem lol

[@javosgarage]

@Wolf Pack Productions - Interesting! I haven't come across metal handles on this model of super duty. I envy you, that is way better than plastic. Probably much more resistant to tampering and theft as well! I'm going to look around a bit for that. Thanks for stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment - much appreciated!
