Escalade handles on a Sierra

emitsTech · June 6, 2005

Hey all! I'm planning on installing the escalade door handles (exterior) to my 05' Sierra. I have an ECSB and my passenger door handle doesn't have a key lock on it. So for the front driver side handle I ordered #15745149 (front left handle) and for the front passenger I ordered #15745140 (rear right escalade handle). The handles look slightly different as far as the spring mechanisms go. I'm wondering what needs to be done to make these fit correctly. Do I need to swap parts from my stock handles or modify the new handles some way? Thanks!

I just went out and looked at my '05 crewcab. From the outside the handles look identical, with the only difference being that the front handle is set closer to the door edge.

The buddy that I sold my old ('01) HD to, put Tahoe/Suburban handles on it. He said installation is a piece of cake!

all you should have to swap is the lock cylinder on the LF

Thanks for the info! You're right about the LF handle, everything lined up great, just had to switch the lock cyclinder. The FR was a totally different story. I had to switch a couple pieces out from the stock piece and modify the spring on the escalade handle before it would work properly. But It's in there now and works just fine. I have detailed pics of the install too if anyone's interested. Thanks again!
