One of the tailgate cables broke and I can't figure out how to remove the bottom piece from the latch assembly. I removed the two screws holding the assembly to the tailgate but It would only come out a couple of inches. Has anyone replaced a cable on this type truck and does the whole assembly have to be replaced with the cable? Thanks.

Were these Cables included in The SAFETY RECALL Gm did a few months back.. or was that recall for the large trucks ONLY ?
That recall was only on the full-size.
The latchplate on the tailgate needs to come off, should come as a unit with the new straps..
Thanks for info. I think I'll wait to see if there's a recall for for the S-10 in the near future.
The only way u are going to see a REcall is if People like you write to the Product safety people and register your complaint..
Donnot wait for the NEXT guy to do it.. It cost u nothing to report it . But Save the cable, They may want u to send it to them!
