Hello guys and gals;

I am in need of a pair of tailgate cables for my newly acquired, used, fifth wheel v-cut tailgate. I cannot use the ones off of my OEM tailgate (which is for sale BTW) as I want to keep the unit complete. I tried a set from Princess Auto and there was no joy. I thought I could make a pair with cable wire and a few crimps etc. however I was advised against this for safety reasons.

Your help, input and wisdom in this regard would be appreciated!

Cheers!

Mike

 

Did you try cambodian tire, napa, parts source? failing that there is rockauto.com & LMCtruck.com

 

If they are the same as the OEM cables, I think Dorman makes decent replacements, and are available at most parts stores. The last time I replaced mine, I got them from the dealer, but Dorman makes decent stuff and probably cheaper too.
