Gotcha, thanks.

I wonder why they would include the cylinder if they know you're gonna have to get it reworked. I have a couple of cylinders/handles from my old truck.....wonder what, if any, the value would be.

But, I put real info out there. I pointed out that he could steal tailgates and sell them on craigslist for $200 a pop. At the very least, I pointed out why he needs to keep his tailgate locked!

I tried to buy one off Craigslist, only found one at the time (blue), guy said it was in "new" condition", went to look at it and it was a POS with dents.
