Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing or maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20-plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly: that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we'll be installing a tailgate cable on a 2004 GMC Sierra. It's basically the same as any GMC Sierra or Silverado from 1999 to 2006. The only tool you'll need is a 1/2 inch wrench.
Open up the tailgate. You got a bolt here. It's a ½ inch bolt. Remove that. If it's frayed, you can replace it. Not a difficult thing to replace at all. Most people can do it. If you're wondering how, that's how. A couple of keys, make sure if you're replacing one, the other one's in good shape. You don't want the tail gate to fall because if it falls, it will hit the bumper and it will get dented. Don't take them off both at the same time.
Just one little thing: When you're tightening it, you see the tailgate cable's made to go around the flint in this bolt. You need to lift up and make sure the tailgate cable goes on the bolt, and then tighten it. This allows that to keep moving. If you're tightening it up with getting it in that right spot, basically what will happen is your tailgate will just going to stay like this. This would end up pinching into there and probably damaging and scratching things. That's about it.

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 2005 Ford F150. We show you on the passenger side, but the driver side is the same procedure. The items you'll need for this include new tailgate cables from 1AAuto.com, T45 Torx bit and ratchet or a T45 Torx driver, and a flat blade screwdriver.
The bolt on each tailgate cable is a T45, and you just want to make sure that your tailgate is supported. You don't want to take one of them off, and have the other one break or something. Then your tailgate falls and it could get bent.
This is a T45 Torx bolt. On this side, use a flat blade screwdriver or your fingernails if you're not too worried about them, and you just pry that up. Pry this tab up and slide it off.
The new cable from 1A Auto, push it on. On this side, put the bolt through. The longer tab goes out so the shorter tab contacts with the cable, and then this little washer can go on. Then this long tab goes into the tailgate. Just test it out and make sure it works.
