Review on Dorman 38523 Tailgate Cable: Sturdy and Reliable for Ensuring Secure Truck Bed Closure by Brad Knierim

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am very happy with the product

I wish Revain would clarify that there is only 1 cable in the box. I don't know anyone who only got 1, let alone the packaging that specifically recommends swapping in pairs. So after ordering and installing a second cable I am very happy with the product. The cables are well sheathed, very flexible and high-quality thermal foil is used at the connection points of the rings with the cables. The snap rings are grade 2 steel (OEM I think 4) but that doesn't matter, but they are the same thickness as the OEM. I think they are worth a few bucks more than some of the other cheaper brands due to the quality of the plastic coating to prevent rust.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Difficult to say
