Dorman 38547 Tailgate Cable: Heavy-Duty Durability for Reliable Performance Review

Perfect replacement for my rusty and broken factory cables. Ultra easy installation took 2 minutes on both sides. Highly recommended.

The cables were 1/2 inch longer than the 2006 Tundra OEM cables which caused the gate to tilt down. Although the quality of the cable was good.

As others have said, the length is about 1/2 inch longer, the tailgate is not flush with the truck bed. The set includes decent quality accessories.

Slightly longer than it should be so the load on the tailgate is not evenly distributed between the new and old cables. In fact, number one is too long and cannot take any load at all!

Wrong length Order said it would fit my truck but actually the one they sent is actually 1/4 inch longer than the one I didn't change when it came with the truck i bought a new one, holds all the weight

The product arrived on time and corresponds to the description. I used the old hardware as the new one seemed thinner and thinner, but the cables seemed exactly the same as the original parts. -2 stars for thinner hardware and higher cost than local shops, but +1 for faster sourcing than local shops. Overall worth the price.

Item arrived quickly, exactly as described and appears to be of very good quality and well made. It will be interesting to see if it lasts as long as the OEM cables (they rusted and broke in the middle where the cables kink when the tailgate is closed). Well packaged and I kept the OEM bolts as recommended by the reviewers as the Chinese made bolts seem to be a softer metal than the OEM bolts.

Bought a pair for a 2006 Toyota Tundra 4-door cab. Dorman tailgate wire 38547. The wires appear to be well constructed although the shrink tubing on the ends makes it difficult to see which is not a criticism. In theory, a shrink tube should protect the stranded steel from moisture. Both packages came with all the necessary parts. Cables are easy to install. Despite the dubious usefulness of such a test, I didn't catch myself suddenly looking up at the sky, it's that good there. The original…
