Dorman - HELP Tailgate Support Cable P/N:38541

$25.99

Description

Keep your tailgate hanging level and stop it from dropping too far with the Dorman - HELP Tailgate Support Cable 38541. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier and the 2009-2014 Nissan NP300, restoring proper support when the tailgate is lowered.

Purpose-built replacement: takes the place of a worn, frayed, or broken original support cable so the tailgate is held at its intended open position.
Limits travel: designed to control how far the tailgate swings down and to help keep it hanging evenly.
Signs it may need replacing: a cable that is frayed, stretched, or snapped, or a tailgate that drops too far, hangs unevenly, or no longer stops where it should.

If a failed support cable is the cause of a sagging or over-dropping tailgate, this part replaces it. Compare your original against the listed interchange number to confirm the match before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this tailgate support cable do?

It connects the tailgate to the truck bed and holds it at its intended open position, helping keep it level and limiting how far it drops when lowered.

Which vehicles does part 38541 fit?

It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier and the 2009-2014 Nissan NP300. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.

How do I know my support cable needs replacing?

Look for a frayed, stretched, or snapped cable, or a tailgate that drops too far, hangs unevenly, or no longer stops where it should.

What number does this part interchange with?

It cross-references to 904608B400. Compare that number against your original part to confirm the correct match.

Should I replace both cables at the same time?

Many tailgates use a cable on each side. If yours does, replacing both together helps the tailgate hang evenly; confirm the quantity your vehicle uses before ordering.
