Had an 08 Ranger I converted into a Prerunner. Tough little truck. I miss it. One of my doors had this issue. I rolled it before I could address it. Great technical skill ya got there 👍 😊. Have a nice week.
AN EASY WAY! First off the new aluminum end caps have to be drilled out so the inner cable is in the center of the end caps. I used a jig saw and then reamed out until smooth and centered., a bit of a pain but if you don't do this the cable will bind and not work. Don't drill ,chisel out the rivets on the door handle putting the beveled side of the chisel against the door handle. Way easier than drilling an did not leave a mark on the handle. Once the door handle is removed there will be enough slack in the cable to put the end caps on the cable and attach the cable to the latch. Only the bottom latch needs to be taken out to work on replacing the new cable end caps.after removing the old plastic end caps sand the outer cable to remove any rough spots so new caps will slide on easier. You just need to take off the brace on the top latch to access the spot where the cable attaches. There is no need to take the cable off the latch.
Anyone know where I can locate 2 of the full kits for replacing the latch and rod systems? My baby is 24 years old and needs some serious love 🙏🏻😭😭 it's my first vehicle that my dad bought me when I was 14, and I'm trying to keep her going as long as I can
