Removing the Tailgate
To remove the tailgate:
1. Open the tailgate fully and
remove the retainer clip from the
driver’s side hinge.
It is recommended that the
retainer clip be stored in a safe
place, like the glove box.
2. Lift up slightly on the entire
tailgate assembly.
Remove the retaining cables
from both sides of the pickup box
by pulling the clips away from
the bolt heads while pushing the
cable bracket forward. When
the larger part of the hole on the
bracket is over the bolt, slide
the bracket off of the bolt.
3. With the tailgate partially down,
lift up on the passenger’s side
and pull the tailgate toward you,
then move the tailgate to the
right to release the driver’s side.
Reverse the procedure to reinstall
the tailgate. Make sure it is secure.
