Awesome video brother. I couldn't get my tailgate open and this showed me how to not only open the tailgate but how to fix it. Thank you man. You're a gentleman and a scholar.

@dalehammond1749 8 ай бұрын

the problem I have is the handle doesn't pull the pins far enough into the tailgate to clear the hitches on both sides

Did you find a fix? I'm having the same problem 😅

@rvalens2 6 күн бұрын

@@hankeysgameing8745 I too had the same problem. I finally fixed it by replacing the tailgate latch rods. The ones on my 1995 GMC Sierra 1500 had stretched to the point that the tailgate was hard to open. After taking out the old ones and comparing them with the new ones, the difference in size was obvious. I hope this helps. - Richie - P.S. Here's a link to a KZfaq video showing how to do that: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZuCEhrmnuLKvmJs.html

I have a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic. Same exact problem. My plastic clip is green. The right hand side. It's the second time I replaced it. I replaced it today. That's pretty common in all them Chevrolets. If they made that clip out of metal. Chevrolet couldn't make no money off of it. Chevrolet just don't want to spend the money and make it out of metal. Plastic junk.

Last resort take long flathead screw drive look down edge of tailgate and see latch ,stick screwdriver down into latch and twist ,do this on each side of tai Lgate. And it will open
