Tailgate Support Cables And Open-Position Support

A tailgate support cable connects the truck body to the tailgate and helps hold the gate in its open position. Cable length and end fittings need to match the vehicle so the gate is supported at the intended position.

A-Premium offers single cables and pairs for selected applications. Some individual cables are specified for either side, while a pair is listed for the driver and passenger sides. Follow the position stated for the part being ordered.

Checking A Tailgate Cable Before Replacement

Frayed strands, corrosion, a damaged end fitting or a visibly uneven support cable are reasons to inspect the assembly. Check the condition of the cable along its length as well as the attachments at each end.

Inspect the mounting points and the other support cable as well. A failed cable can allow a supported tailgate to drop. Avoid loading an unsupported gate, and use the vehicle's service procedure when replacing the cable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is a tailgate support cable the same as a tailgate release cable?

They have different jobs. A support cable helps hold the open tailgate; a release cable operates a latch or handle mechanism. Identify which component is damaged before selecting the replacement.

Should both tailgate cables always be replaced together?

Inspect both sides and follow the vehicle's service instructions. A pair is useful when both cables need replacement and the set matches the vehicle, but a repair on one side does not automatically require the other cable to be changed.

Can cable thickness tell me the safe load on a tailgate?

Diameter by itself is not a load rating. Cable construction, end fittings, mounting points and the vehicle's tailgate design all matter. Use the vehicle manufacturer's stated limits rather than estimating capacity from cable thickness.

Why should I check the cable ends and mounting points?

The cable transfers load through its end fittings and their attachment points. Damage or a loose attachment can affect support even if the cable strands look sound. Match the end design and inspect the mounts during the repair.

Can corrosion be hidden under the cable coating?

A protective sleeve can conceal corrosion in the metal strands. GM describes damaged or bulging sheathing as possible signs on certain vehicles, but a sleeve that looks sound does not guarantee that the cable underneath is undamaged.
