“ON MY 1998 CHEVY S-10 BOTH OF THE TAILGATE CABLE BROKE. THE CABLES BROKE AND THE WOOD I WAS LOADING SLID OFF AND HIT MY FOOT IT DID HURT IT, BUT LUCKILY IT WAS NOT BAD. IT ALSO DAMAGE MY TAILGATE ON MY TRUCK. I HAVE SEE ON THE INTERNET AND FROM OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT THERE TAILGATE CABLES BREAKING. I HAVE SEEN IT ON 1995, 1998 AND 2000 S-10 TRUCKS. I THINK THAT GM NEEDS TO MAKE REPLACEMENT CABLES THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND IF YOU WERE LOADING SOMETHING IT COULD SLID OFF THE TAILGATE AND HURT THEMSELVES LIKE I DID. THANK YOU, [XXX]. *NM *TR”
