The previous discussion about the tailgate collapse undoubtedly is talking about the two cables that the gate is suspended by. There have been a lot of complaints about failure of these cables underload and the reason appears to be rust under the plastic sleeve where they are clamped to the end eyes. I think that on some diesel forum they are getting together a purchase for well made replacements. They have discussed it on the Pacific Audio and Video GM truck and SUV forum.
And by the way, haven't you guys seen the discussion about the Chev truck with over a million miles on it. Down south somewhere. He delivered papers long distance and changed with Penzoil every 3K which amounted to an oil change every 3 or 4 days. When he rolled it over I think Penzoil gave him the keys to a new truck.
