Consumer Description

WHEN I OPENED THE TAIL GATE TO MY 2002 S-10 BOTH CABLES SNAPED-IN-TWO AT THE SAME TIME. THIS CABLE FAILURE HAS DAMAGED THE TAIL GATE WHEN IT HIT THE BUMPER. WHEN I WENT TO THE PART STORE TO GET A REPLACEMENT CABLE FOR BOTH SIDES I WAS TOLD THAT THE CABLE DID NOT MATCH WHAT WAS LISTED IN HIS BOOK AS A REPLACEMENT AND WOULD NEED TO SEE A DEALER ABOUT THE REPAIR..... ODD THING BUT I ALSO HAVE A 1991 FORD F-150 WITH 215,000 MILES ON IT AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME TAIL GATE CABLES FROM WHEN IT WAS NEW.
