Tailgate handle bolt size?

Hello, I’m Pete from the Car Genius team at RepairPal. Thank you for reaching out with your question on your 2006 Dodge Dakota. It looks like you are seeking out the tailgate handle bolt size that holds the handle in place. Based on what I was able to locate for this specific model I am seeing that the bolt size should be held in place by 3 x T40 torx screws and washers. While I was unable to locate the exact size of these screws usually you can contact a local Dodge dealer's parts department where they may be able to pull up the size for you and usually let you know this information free of charge. You can also find the exact replacement screws and washers in the link provided below. I wish I had more information to give you on this. https://mopar.oempartsonline.com/oem-parts/mopar-screw-and-washer-6503734 (copy and paste into a new web tab to view) If you need assistance connecting with one of our RepairPal Certified shops, more advice, or have any further questions about your vehicle, we’re here to help.
