Tailgate "click" when opening
My truck tailgate has developed a loud, metal click when I open it.. The "click" is at about the 2 o'clock position (looking sideways at the gate).
Anyone have this issue. I am guessing the load spring in the tailgate acting up.

Its not the latch. It’s coming from the lower section of the tailgate and clicking after the latch disengages at about 30% open.

Ahh, ok, in that case, maybe you have a stone in there?

Its probably the soft open assist. I pulled the taillight and lubed the pivots and all was good after.
