Inside or outside handles? My drivers side inner door handle is broken, it is broken clean off the part that swivels.

Yep, the inside door handles are known to break. I have put 2 in my truck. You might check the door pins for wear. If the door drags you may pull harder on the handle than you should causing it to break.

I think mine is broken too. I have to pull the interior handle all the way out and then push on the door w/ my shoulder to get the door open, but it opens fine from outside.

Any idea what exactly is broken? I don't have a manual yet...kinda wanted to buy one of the factory service manuals, but they're expensive. I hate working on the insides of doors...

I suppose you are talking about the 95 and up style? They are VERY common for breaking but are easy to install and I think all dealers keep a few of them in stock. Check when you replace the handle, the rod that comes from the handle sometimes gets stretched straight from worn door pins. I ussually take a little bit of the slack out by bending the rod just a little making it open quicker. Deffinatly replace your door pins/bushings while you are at it.
