I replaced the piece that Deezee says to remove on the opposite side and it seems to close a little better.

I think the trick will be to somehow remove one of the washers on this piece.

I don't have my truck until tomorrow at the earliest. Hopefully someone else will offer a suggestion. It does sound like you did the install properly.

Yea I followed it exactly as they wrote in the instructions. It’s basically two pieces that are rubbing. Which are the two ends of the tailgate cable on the driver side.

Did you remove the retainer from the tailgate end of the cable?

I just had an idiot moment fellas. I interpreted the instructions to mean to remove the limiter on the opposite side of the tailgate. I have since corrected my mistake and all is well haha.

Do I still need the cable clip or is that useless? Seems like it will add more bulk

I did remove the limiter and washer initially just on the wrong side of the darn tailgate.

the rest of it is fine. That was the only thing you needed to remove.

You all are great. Thanks for the help!

Got some step bars on the way also but don’t think they’ll be here for another week.

Happens to the best of us [emoji23] leave the cable clip on, without it the cable will get wedged in between the tailgate and the strut.

You ain’t lying! I had a White ‘05 LoneStar, 2010 LoneStar, ‘15 Chevy 1500(POS!), and now my ‘17. My wife had a white Mazda 3, Mazda 6, and CX-9, Tahoe, and now a Honda Accord. We’ve owned three other vehicles that weren’t white, two of which were our high school vehicles

Sweet line-up! I'm still trying to talk the wife into either a white Durango R/T or a Hellcat Charger LOL
My sons (who own the Charger and Dart) have told my wife the same thing. She wants a murdered out Durango, and we contend she needs a white one.
