Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a tailgate cable on this 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500. It's the same process on a large variety of GM models. The only tool that you're going to need is a 13 millimeter socket, and a ratchet.
You don't need to do anything up here, but you want to remove this 13-millimeter bolt, right here. I'm going to fast-forward as he removes that. Once that lower bolt is removed, you just push the clip up, and off.
You can see here on the left is the old one. On the right is the new one from 1AAuto. They're identical. What you want to do is just put that bolt on by hand first, and tighten it up. Then use your socket and ratchet to tighten it the rest of the way. Now you just want to line that clip up on the bolt, and then pull it down, and it's all set.
We hope this video helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.

Factory latches are both made to latch from the top, the ones that were sent are made to latch from the top one the drivers side and from the bottom on the passenger side. Won't latch correctly, or hold up

Perfect fit for my 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab WT Short Bed. Definitely helped get rid of the rattle that was happening. Was pretty easy to replace and took me maybe 10-15mins. Broke a plastic piece but took one off the old one and it worked. Everything Ive ordered from here has been correct and functions like it should. Has always been hit or miss with AutoZone or places similar to that.
