I just found this site, and I think it is great. Two weeks ago I purchased a 2004 GMC 1500 Sierra. Already having bad feelings. Would someone run my vin--1GTEK14T84Z346003.

I just found this site, and I think it is great. Two weeks ago I purchased a 2004 GMC 1500 Sierra. Already having bad feelings. Would someone run my vin--1GTEK14T84Z346003.

Much appreciated.

And by the way, welcome to GM-Trucks.com

robig · July 7, 2008

Thanks. I believe I see what my problem is. I will be visiting my local dealership (where I purchased the truck) first thing in the morning.

willyJfromstJ · July 7, 2008

Hi there. I am considering purchasing an 05 GMC sierra, was wondering if you wouldnt mind running the vin on it just so I know what I may be getting into. Thanks in advance. Will

When my truck was purchased, no one noticed the repair on the rear left fender. Now that it is a little older, it has become apparent that a cheap bondo repair was made. If anyone could try to find out any repair history, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. 2GCEC19T311249592

RC 04007 TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLE 09/28/2004 Open

jrrod2004 · July 7, 2008

Document ID: 1732301 #04007B: Product Safety - Tailgate Support Cable - (Nov 21, 2005)

Subject:04007B -- Tailgate Support Cable

Models:2002-2004 Cadillac Escalade EXT

2000 Chevrolet CK

2000-2004 Chevrolet Silverado

2002-2004 Chevrolet Avalanche

2003-2004 Chevrolet Kodiak

2000-2004 GMC Sierra

2003-2004 GMC TopKick

THIS BULLETIN IS BEING REVISED TO INCLUDE SOME 2003 AND 2004 MODEL YEAR MEDIUM DUTY VEHICLES THAT WERE MODIFIED TO INCLUDE A TAILGATE. PLEASE DISCARD ALL COPIES OF BULLETIN 04007A, ISSUED OCTOBER 2004.

Condition

General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2000 model year Chevrolet CK, 2000-2004 model year Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks, and 2002-2004 model year Cadillac Escalade EXT and Chevrolet Avalanche trucks, and 2003-2004 Chevrolet Kodiak and GMC TopKick trucks. On some of these vehicles, the galvanized steel tailgate support cables that retain the tailgate in the full open (horizontal) position may corrode, weaken, and eventually fracture. If one cable fractures, the remaining cable may retain the tailgate in a horizontal position. However, if the remaining cable is sufficiently weakened by corrosion, it could fracture within moments of the first cable fracturing, especially if there is a load on the tailgate. If both cables fracture, the tailgate would suddenly drop and strike the top surface of the rear bumper. Anyone sitting or standing on the tailgate when both cable fracture could be injured by falling from the tailgate. On vehicles that have had the bumper removed, the tailgate may drop even lower. Additionally, if there is cargo on the tailgate, the cargo may become unstable and fall if the support cables fracture.

Correction

Dealers are to replace the galvanized support cables with stainless steel support cables. In addition, dealers are to inspect the tailgate hinge and replace it, if necessary.

Vehicles Involved

Involved are certain 2000 Chevrolet CK, 2000-2004 model year Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks, and 2002-2004 model year Cadillac Escalade EXT and Chevrolet Avalanche trucks, and 2003-2004 Chevrolet Kodiak and GMC TopKick trucks built within these VIN breakpoints:

Service Procedure

Classic Silverado and Sierra (GMT400)

The following procedure provides instructions for inspecting, and if necessary, replacing the rear endgate (tailgate) support cables and inspecting the right side tailgate hinge for damage, and replacing if necessary.

Notice: It is recommended that a support be placed under the open tailgate in the next step to prevent the tailgate from being damaged in the event that it drops when disconnecting, inspecting, and replacing the support cables.

Hinge Inspection - Classic CK and Sierra

Release (unhook) the RIGHT side tailgate support cable from the pickup box.
With the tailgate (1) completely open as shown in the upper part of the illustration, pull the RIGHT SIDE of the tailgate rearward as shown in the lower illustration. Do not pull on the left side of the tailgate.
• If the tailgate hinge (2) will NOT disengage from the pickup box on the right side, no repair is needed to the hinge. Proceed to the section titled, "Support Cable Replacement" and replace both support cables.

• If the tailgate hinge (3) WILL disengage from the pickup box on the right side, proceed to the next step.
With the right side of the tailgate disengaged from the pickup box, inspect the hinge on the right side of the tailgate for damage. The illustration above shows an undamaged hinge (1) and a damaged or bent hinge (2).
• If the hinge is NOT damaged, no repair is needed to the hinge. Proceed to the section titled, "Support Cable Replacement" and replace both support cables.

• If the hinge IS damaged or bent, the hinge needs to be replaced. Proceed to the section titled, "Hinge Replacement" before proceeding with the replacement of the support cables.

Hinge Replacement - Classic CK and Sierra

The following procedure should only be performed if the right side of the tailgate could be disengaged for the pickup truck and the hinge was damaged or bent.

Release (unhook) the left side tailgate support cable from the pickup box.
Remove the tailgate from the vehicle.
Remove the bolt (1) attaching the right side hinge (2) to the side of the tailgate.
Locate and drill out the large weld (2) attaching the hinge (1) to the backside of the tailgate bracket (3). Remove the hinge.Important: Because the new hinge must be welded to the bracket on the tailgate in the next steps, do not pain the hinge until after installation. After welding is complete, the new hinge must be primed and painted in the body color.
Install a new hinge to the tailgate and install the bolt.Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 27 N·m (20 lb ft).
Weld the backside of the new hinge to the original bracket on the tailgate.
Tape off the area around the hinge and prime and paint the hinge as required.
Reinstall the tailgate on the vehicle and proceed to the section titled, "Support Cable Replacement."

Support Cable Replacement - Classic CK and Sierra

The following procedure provides instruction for replacing the rear endgate (tailgate) support cables.

Open the rear tailgate and support it as necessary.
Release (unhook) the right side tailgate support cable from the pickup box.

Important: If the support cable (2) has NOT been replaced previously, there will be a toothed nut or plastic nut (1) located between the latch (4) and the tailgate that MAY prevent the bolt (3) from being removed in the next step. The nut is an assembly aid used in teh assembly plant. Do not reinstall or replace the toothed or plastic nut when installing the new support cable.
Loosen the bolt (3) that attaches the opposite end of the support cable to the latch assembly (2).
• If the toothed or plastic nut IS present, you will only be able to loosen the bolt partially from the latch. If this condition is encountered, proceed to the next step.

• If the toothed or plastic nut is NOT present, proceed to Step 8.

Important: DO NOT loosen the other bolt completely in the next step. Leave two or three threads of the bolt engaged in the tailgate. Removing this bolt completely may allow the linkage inside the tailgate to separate from the latch.
If the toothed or plastic nut is present, loosen the other two bolts (1) attaching the latch (2) to the tailgate. DO NOT remove these bolts.
Finish loosening the bolt that attaches the support cable. The bolt will NOT be removable even though the threads are completely out.
Place an interior trim removal type tool (2) between the support cable end (3) and the latch (1), and pry the two apart. As the two spread apart, the toothed or plastic nut on the other side of the latch will begin to move towards the end of the bolt.
Once the toothed or plastic nut has moved away from the backside of the latch, use long nose pliers to grasp and twist it off of the bolt. Discard the toothed nut.
Remove the bolt and support cable.Important: Do not reinstall the toothed or plastic nut when installing the new support cable. Also, the support cables used on these vehicles are interchangeable from side to side, and no washers are to be isntalled like those used on the new style trucks (GMT800).
Install the new support cable to the latch and reinstall the original bolt.Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 30 N·m (22 lb ft).
If the other bolts were loosened earlier,Tighten
Tighten the other loose bolts to 30 N·m (22 lb ft).
Attach the opposite end of the support cable to the pickup box.
Repeat this procedure on the other support cable.Important: Depending on the condition of the tailgate and related parts, one of the two new support cables (either left or right) may NOT be tight (taut) when the tailgate is fully open. This condition may be caused by several factors including a damaged hinge, pickup box, or the tailgate itself may be slightly bent due to overloading at some previous time. Replacing either or both support cables a second time will NOT correct this condition. Replacement of any additional parts to correct this condition will NOT be covered under this recall.
Remove the tailgate support, close, open and re-close the tailgate. Verify that the support cables fold properly.

Escalade EXT, Avalanche, New Style Silverado and Sierra (GMT800), Kodiak, TopKick

The following procedures provides instructions for inspecting, and if necessary, replacing the rear endgate (tailgate) support cables and inspecting the right side tailgate hinge for damage, and replacing if necessary.

Notice: It is recommended that a support be placed under the open tailgate in the next step to prevent the tailgate from being damaged in the event that it drops when disconnecting, inspecting, and replacing the support cables.

Support Cable Inspection -- Escalade EXT, Avalanche, New Style Silverado and Sierra, Kodiak, TopKick

Open the rear tailgate and support it as necessary.
Release (unhook) the right side tailgate support cable from the pickup box.

Important: In the above illustration, the clear sealant (1) is shown as black in color. This was done for illustration purposes only. If sealant is present on the support cables it will be clear or hazy (cloudy) in appearance.
Inspect the end (eyelet) of the support cable that attaches to the tailgate for sealant covering the end of the cable strands.
• If there IS a clear type sealant (1) over the end of the cable strands, the support cable needs to be replaced. Reconnect the support cable to the pickup box and perform this same inspection on the left support cable. After inspecting both cables, proceed to the section titled "Hinge Inspection."

• If there IS NOT a clear type sealant (2) over the end of the cable strands, that support cable does NOT need to be replaced. Reconnect the support cable to the pickup box and perform this same inspection on the left support cable. After inspecting both cables, proceed to the section titled "Hinge Inspection."

Hinge Inspection - Escalade EXT, Avalanche, New Style Silverado and Sierra, Kodiak, TopKick

Release (unhook) the RIGHT side tailgate support cable from the pickup box again.
With the tailgate (1) completely open as shown in the upper part of the illustration, pull the RIGHT SIDE of the tailgate rearward as shown in the lower illustration. Do not pull on the left side of the tailgate.
• If the tailgate hinge (2) will NOT disengage from the pickup box on the right side, no repair is needed to the hinge. Proceed to the section titled "Support Cable Replacement" and replace any support cable that HAD sealant in the earlier inspection. If neither of the support cables requires replacement, no further action is required.

• If the tailgate hinge (3) will disengage from the pickup box on the right side, proceed to the next step.
With the right side of the tailgate disengaged from the pickup box, inspect the hinge on the right side of the tailgate for damage. The illustration above shows an undamaged hinge (1) and a damaged or bent hinge (2).
• If the hinge is NOT damaged, no repair is needed to the hinge. Proceed to the section titled, "Support Cable Replacement" and replace any support cables that HAD sealant in the earlier inspection. If neither of the support cables require replacement, no further action is required.

• If the hinge IS damaged or bent, the hinge needs to be replaced. Proceed to the section titled, "Hinge Replacement."

Hinge Replacement - Escalade EXT, Avalanche, New Style Silverado and Sierra, Kodiak, TopKick

The following procedure should only be performed if the right side of the tailgate could be disengaged from the pickup box.

Release (unhook) the left side tailgate support cable from the pickup box.
Remove the tailgate from the vehicle.
Remove the two bolts attaching the right side hinge to the tailgate.Important: On Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra models, the NEW hinge being installed must be primed and painted in the body color prior to installation. New hinges for the Chevrolet Avalanche and Cadillac Escalade EXT come pre-painted in a glossy black primer, these hinges must still be painted black.
Install a NEW hinge to the tailgate and install the two bolts.Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).
Reinstall the tailgate on the vehicle. If one or both tailgate support cables require replacement, proceed to the section titled "Support Cable Replacement". If neither support cables require replacement, no further action is required.

Support Cable Replacement - Escalade EXT, Avalanche, New Style Silverado and Sierra, Kodiak, TopKick

The following procedure should only be performed if sealant was found in one or both support cables in the earlier inspection.

Important: If the support cable (2) has NOT been replaced previously, there will be a toothed nut (1) located between the latch (4) and the tailgate that will prevent the bolt (3) from being removed in the next step. The nut is an assembly aid used in the assembly plant. The nut does NOT need to be reinstalled or replaced when installing a new support cable in this recall.

Loosen the bolt (1) that attaches the opposite end of the support cable to the latch assembly (2).
• If the toothed nut is present, you will only be able to loosen the bolt partially from the latch. If this condition is encountered, proceed to the next step.

• If the toothed nut is not present, proceed to Step 6.

Important: DO NOT loosen the other bolt completely in the next step. Leave two or three threads of the bolt engaged in the tailgate. Removing this bolt completely may allow the linkage inside the tailgate to separate from the latch.
If the toothed nut is present, loosen the other bolt (3) attaching the latch to the tailgate. DO NOT remove this bolt.
Finish loosening the bolt that attaches the support cable. The bolt will NOT be removable even though the threads are completely out.
Place an interior trim removal type tool (2), or equivalent, between the support cable end (3) and the latch (1), and pry the two apart. As the two spread apart, the toothed nut on the other side of the latch will begin to move towards the end of the bolt.
Once the toothed nut has moved away from the backside of the latch, use long nose pliers to grasp and twist it off of the bolt. Discard the toothed nut.
Remove the bolt and support cable.Notice: Due to manufacturing variation in the thickness of the latch, support cable end, and the shoulder on the bolt, a spacer (flat washer) must be used when installing the new cable. The washer will act as an extension to the shoulder on the bolt, and the outside diameter of the washer will allow it to fit inside of the opening in the cable end. This will allow the cable end to rotate freely on the bolt/latch when the tailgate is closed and prevent the support cable from getting pinched between the tailgate and the pickup box. The washer does part number listed in this bulletin MUST BE used when installing the new support cables. Its dimensions are critical for correct cable positioning when closing the tailgate and it has the corrosion protection specified by GM. DO NOT use any other washer in place of the one listed in this recall.

Important: The washer does NOT replace the toothed nut removed earlier and is NOT to be installed between the latch and the tailgate.

Notice: When installing the new support cable, make sure that the left side (LS) is installed on the left (driver's) side of the vehicle, and the right side (RS) is installed on the right (passenger) side. The support cables are marked with an LS or RS on the end of the cable that attaches to the tailgate. Installing a support cable on the incorrect side of the vehicle may result in the cable getting damaged when the tailgate is closed.
Install one new flat washer on the bolt followed by a new support cable. The end of the support cable should go over the washer and onto the shoulder of the bolt.
Install the bolt, flat washer, and cable assembly into the latch and tailgate.Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).
If the other bolt was loosened earlier,Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).
Verify that the support cable end rotates freely on the bolt.
Attach the opposite end of the support cable to the pickup box.
Repeat the procedure on the other support cable.Important: Depending on the condition of the tailgate and related parts, one of the two new support cables (either left or right) may NOT be tight (taut) when the tailgate is fully open. This condition may be caused by several factors including a damaged hinge, pickup box, or the tailgate itself may be slightly bent due to overloading at some previous time. Replacing either or both support cables a second time will NOT correct this condition. Replacement of any additional parts to correct this condition will NOT be covered under this recall.
Remove the tailgate support, close, open and re-close the tailgate. Verify that the support cables fold properly.

September 2004Dear General Motors Customer:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

You may have already been contacted regarding this recall, but this letter is to inform you that parts are available to service your vehicle.

Reason For This Recall

General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2000 model year Chevrolet CK, 2000-2004 model year Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks, and 2002-2004 model year Cadillac Escalade EXT and Chevrolet Avalanche trucks, and 2003-2004 Chevrolet Kodiak and GMC TopKick trucks. On some of these vehicles, the galvanized steel tailgate support cables that retain the tailgate in the full open (horizontal) position may corrode, weaken, and eventually fracture. If one cable fractures, the remaining cable may retain the tailgate in a horizontal position. However, if the remaining cable is sufficiently weakened by corrosion, it could fracture within moments of the first cable fracturing, especially if there is a load on the tailgate. If both cables fracture, the tailgate would suddenly drop and strike the top surface of the rear bumper. Anyone sitting or standing on the tailgate when both cable fracture could be injured by falling from the tailgate. On vehicles that have had the bumper removed, the tailgate may drop even lower. Additionally, if there is cargo on the tailgate, the cargo may become unstable and fall if the support cables fracture.

What Will Be Done

Your GM dealer will replace the galvanized support cables with stainless steel support cables. In addition, the tailgate hinge will be inspected and replaced, if necessary. This service will be performed for you at no charge .

Until stainless steel support cables can be installed on your vehicle, do not stand, sit, or apply loads directly onto the tailgate when it's in the full open (horizontal) position. This will reduce the potential of personal injury and damage to the outer panel of your tailgate. Additionally, when loading or unloading cargo from the pickup box, the tailgate should be removed. Please see your Owner's Manual for tailgate removal instructions.

How Long Will The Repair Take?

This service correction will take approximately 20 to 30 minutes. However, due to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time.

Contacting Your Dealer

To limit any possible inconvenience, we recommend that you contact your GM dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment for this repair. By scheduling an appointment, your dealer can ensure that the necessary parts will be available on your scheduled appointment date.

Should your dealer be unable to schedule a service date within a reasonable time, you should contact the appropriate Customer Assistance Center at the number listed below. The Customer Assistance Center hours of operation are from 8:00 AM - 11:00 PM eastern standard time Monday through Friday.

Important: Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the GM Vehicle Inquiry System (GMVIS). Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be involved.

Parts Information

Do not attempt to order the calibration number from GMSPO. The calibration numbers required for this service procedure are programmed into control modules via a Techline Tech 2® scan tool and TIS2Web website with the following calibration updates..

• 2007 Pick Up and SUV Trucks: Use data version 11.5 for 2006 for later, available on TIS2Web 11/13/06; and on TIS DVD version 12.0/2006 or later, mailed to dealers beginning 12/13/06.

• 2006/07 Chevrolet Impala, Monte Carlo: Use data versioni 12.5 for 2006 or later, available on TIS2Web 12/18/06; and on TIS DVD version 1.0/2007 or later, mailed to dealers beginning 01/31/07.

If you cannot access the calibration, call the Techline Customer Support Center and it will be provided.

Service Procedure

The "Required Field Actions" section of the GM Vehicle Inquiry System (GMVIS) must be checked to determine if a specific vehicle requires this action. If GMVIS indicates that Service Update Bulletin 06162C remains ‘open’ and ECM reprogramming has not taken place, reprogram the ECM using a Tech 2 scan tool with the calibration update from TIS2Web.

Refer to the latest version of Technical Service Bulletin 06-06-04-010 and Service Information to perform the ECM Reprogramming procedure and, if needed, the Fuel Composition Reset Procedure. The Fuel Composition Reset Procedure is only needed if the measured ethanol content is more than 15% different than the ECM estimated value.

Important: If it is assured that only non-blended (containing 10% or less ethanol) gasoline is in the vehicle fuel tank, proceed directly to ECM programming.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
