Description

Rebuild the hardware that opens and supports your pickup's tailgate with the Dorman - HELP Tailgate Kit 38911, a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2007 Dodge Ram 1500, 2005-2009 Dodge Ram 2500 and 2006-2009 Dodge Ram 3500. Dorman lists it as an exterior tailgate hardware rebuild kit. It brings together the handle, tailgate cables and vehicle-specific pieces you need to install a replacement or aftermarket tailgate.

Convenient solution: The handle, tailgate cables and other application-specific parts come in one kit for fitting a replacement or aftermarket tailgate.
Durable components: The components and fasteners are precision-engineered from quality materials for a full tailgate installation.
Application-specific: The kit is designed to duplicate the original hardware's fit and function on the listed trucks.
Quality tested: The components and fasteners go through try-on testing to confirm correct fit.

The tailgate cables hold the gate level when it is lowered, and the handle operates the latch release. You may be replacing parts because of a frayed or broken cable, or because the handle no longer releases the latch. If so, this kit supplies both, along with the fasteners needed for the job. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete fitment details.
