Door only opens from inside

Question

I broke my door handle a few weeks ago pulling a "frozen" door open. I know, I know. I'm paying for it already.

 

If I pushed the linkage from the handle down, the door pops open and you're in! When you pull the latch from the inside, no problems.

 

After I installed the new outside handle, the handle doesn't seem to operate. When you pull the handle, nothing happens and the handle stays in the "pulled out" position. I know the function of the spring worked properly before I installed it, so I don't believe that is the problem. What tips can you share for troubleshooting the linkage and the latch itself? If the latch needs to be replaced, does anyone have a part # for that?

 

2001 GMC SIERRA 2500 EXT cab. Passenger door.

 

Thanks!
