Tailgate Locking cylinder + key hardly needed
 
Hi all,
I'm Marco from Berlin, Germany.
I cannot remember the last Post post I set here. It must been a lang time ago.
I own a 84' Suburban since 25 years, I restored 10 years ago.
For some reason, which I cannot explain, my original locking cylinder for my power window/tailgate was stuck at some time years ago.
It means, the small pins in there were something like glued. I tried all to get it working again. But all failed.
So, now I am hardly searching for a replacement part. Of course I would need at least one working key with it.
Does anybody know a supplier, ob something else, where I could get a working Locking cylinder?
LMC, etc doesn't offer that part, I think..

I hope somebody has an idea, or an old one in stock, which I could buy.
So, I hope for help..
Greetings Marco

Hey!
Thanks a lot for your quick answer!!
I checked that link, but obviously and unfortunately it is for the "manual" version, and not for the "powered" version, live mine is.
I will check that site further. Maybe, I have luck to find my searched version, too?

I also found where a person can purchase the electrical tip to this but if your tumblers are jammed up the then the entire piece is needed.

How could I overlooked those offers?
I will check that out, and order some soon.
Yes, I think I have to Look for that tip/linkage at the end of the lock cylinder..
Maybe I can find, with some luck, a spare part in my spare-cable-box..

Send a picture of exactly what you are looking for and I can try to look it up on some sites.

The Tail Gate Lock Cylinder you are buying has the electrical tip that controls the raise and lower of the glass is on it.
