tailgate cable snapped
Went camping at the weekend, truck did a great job of pulling my 34ft Airstream. Went to load up truck when bang, tailgate cable snapped, tailgate bent like a pretzel, much swearing. Cables looked in good shape too - don't think I'm gonna trust them anymore - anyone else had this trouble, very annoying as gate is damaged now, was in mint shape

I broke one when hauling some wood one time, now mine has a slight twist to it. Not a big deal as its got a couple rust spots on it anyway. Replace that and fix one other rust spot and there would be no more rust.
Anyway, mine didn't look that good when the one broke. I got 2 new ones on it now. Sucks you damaged a mint tailgate though.

I cant tell if it's aftermarket or not. I want one with the trim panel and in really good shape (no major dents and not too many digs)...
Really hard to find. I can get one from ford but they run about a grand for everything and then you have to paint it too. All the ones I keep finding are beat to shi... crap.
