Does anyone have a spare tailgate cable?

That I can buy?

My '99 had one break on me today, without that much weight on it. (maybe 200lb?)

I've never had a cable that thick break before..

Email me direct @

Thanks,

Pete

I've seen 'em hanging on the HELP! rack at Autozone, forgot what the price was, though.

tailgate cables

I got mine from an auto salvage yard and they were new in the package. The one that hadn't rusted through was stretched so I replaced both. There's was half price of what the dollarships were. I need a 2-nd job to supppppport the fixing of this 99 3500 4x4 5 spd do-g- cumins excrement. The problems that they gave me are going to cost me transmission and transfer case and probably rear dif as well. I don't make enough a year to spend alllllllll the money nessecary to find a competent dollarship. Especally now that I am looking for exacting specifications to fix thais junk!!!!!
