What owners wrote
Tail gate cables have failed due to rust, this is the 2nd set of cables that have failed I was loading hay on to the truck when the cables gave way I fell to the ground twisting my ankle. I have replaced the cables with the new style cables that were made due to a recall in 2003 of one year truck. The galvanized cables were used on more than the year recalled and are clearly of poor design.
Was loading a honda rincon atv into the bed of a 1999 GMC serria pickup truck,using loading ramps attached to the tailgate.tailgate cables broke while loading atv.causing tailgate to slam down on rear bumper,damaging tailgate.this is the second time cables have broken.I replaced the broken cables with oem cables,and have old cables.
