I have to replace my door handle and having acquired the replacement, I need to change the lock from the old to the new. I still have the lock from the old. Does anyone have any info on this task?
Thanks,
Dave

having done this work recently, the latch/lock is a seperate unit from the handle...
For the Handle, the Rave manual says:
Remove
1. Remove front door trim casing.
2. Carefully release water shedder from door.
3. Release control rod from latch.
4. Remove Torx bolt securing exterior handle to
door.
5. Remove exterior handle.
6. Remove control rod from exterior handle.
Refit
1. Fit control rod to exterior handle.
2. Position exterior handle to door, fit Torx bolt
and tighten to 7 Nm. (5.2 lbf.ft).
3. Connect control rod to door latch.
4. Fit water shedder to door.
5. Fit front door trim casing.
pretty simple.

Yeah....basically, I have a different handle now....which used a different key. I am trying to get away with not needing a new key...if this is possible. Otherwise, quite honestly, I don't care if I can't lock it....I just don't want to get locked out. If I can "destroy" the new lock to the point where the old key will turn it, I am ok with that. While this truck will be on the road, its pretty much a dedicated rig now.
