Chevrolet 2500 owners have reported 3 problems related to tailgate latch (under the latches/locks/linkage category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Gm recall #04007 tailgate cables used to replace recalled units are of unequal length, causing one unit to bear the entire load. I contacted gm (case#1-28-69-61625), and was basically told to like it or lump it. I sincerely hope this problem does not cause another fatality like timothy michaud of maine.
