Fixing Avalanche tailgate problem solved!

With the dumb engineering design for the back latch and the dealers ripping you off charging anywhere from $300-$500! You can spend $0 if you have something laying around to do this!

Yo, I'm on my third tailgate latch. You Sir is Angel. Thanks

[@jasony724]

I’m glad it helped! Was getting frustrated at all the dumb videos without any clear instructions! Had to figure it out myself after coughing up $500 at the dealership!

[@claudiofagundes9502]

Perfect video to help us understand how it works so we can fix it the Wright way think you

[@jasony724]

Yeah this is a common problem and I was amazed at how so little information was out there to clearly explain the problem! Or anyone to show how the mechanism worked! Was so frustrating!

[@rev.carltonwilliams7577]

Thank you so much. Your video helped me. Blessings on you.

[@jasony724]

Glad it helped

[@cavalinia3]

Thanks! Just what I needed to know!

[@jasony724]

Yeah I’m shock to see so many videos out there not explaining anything valuable

[@davidcunninghamjr6871]

Great tutorial Bro thank you

[@princenaim7489]

Wonder if it’s the same for the Ext 2004 having issues wit mine too.

[@jasony724]

Could be, only way to tell is to remove the cover.

2008 Avalanche But I did not find the part for the tailgate handle!
If you know the part number please advise me :)

[@jasonyaj7536]

The 08 changed. 02-04’s are the same. You might have to keep googling or go talk to local auto store

[@azizsa1971]

@@jasonyaj7536 Thank you my dear .. I will try to go to the spare parts store until I make sure of the part, but my lack of time is the problem, so I asked to order it directly from the internet if its price is cheap

[@opie2488]

how did you modify the latch to fasten those rods with nuts? those plastic retaining clips are the dumbest thing I've ever seen

[@jasony724]

I just found some small nuts I had laying around and it screwed right in.
