sounds like you need to lube it. Spray it with WD40 or liquid wrench and work the latches until they work correctly then put some moly or lithium grease on the mechanisms.
Been there done that. didnt work
driver mod??
Must be time for a new truck. :laugh:
Need to replace the handle. They use nylon washers between the hinged parts now so they do freeze up.
i actually had the same proble and i took it all apart and lubed t s out of it and made all parts work before i put them back in,work them back and forth ,all moving parts check em as you tighten up.latches handle arms etc,good luck.
