My Truck Was Almost Stolen!
This past weekend, I made an overnighter to Arlington, TX, and when I arose the next morning to load up my stuff, I noticed my door handle was all Jacked up. It looks like someone tried to steal my truck and was "interrupted". Now I need to replace my door handle. The dealership wants $227. Are there any other options?
BTW, my truck is an '04 Hemi Quad Cab SLT

I think the only ones I've seen aftermarket are the fancy ones, chrome, billet & unique shapes.
If you want oem to match the rest pm Parts/Service, he can usually ship you one from the dealership he works at and save you a good bit off the local dealer.
I got him to send me the luggage racks for my Grand Cherokee and even with shipping (a fairly large/heavy box) he beat my dealer by about $40 and NO TAX...

They probably weren't trying to steal your truck. Just everything inside of it. I had the same thing happen to me in Houston while I was in a meeting at a hotel. I had to replace the door handle and had to bend back the sheetmetal on the door. I don't think it cost me near that much for the parts. I would highly recommend staying with the factory door handle though.

Whoa man, That sucks. Do you have a security system? Most people around here wont mess with cars with those blue blinking lights. I love my security. I know everything should be safer. Im about to upgrade it though so I will know when it has gone off and why. Also, I would just stay with the original door handle, heck, you can go to a junk yard and get one off a truck there. Those flame ones look cool, but someone might try to steal those off your truck.
