Re: tail gate malfunction

The problem is the linkage.GM has a small plastic washer on the pivot point where each linkage connects to each latch.When this linkage rusts,it then binds up under the plastic washer.Now here is a really easy fix and don't be afraid.Get yourself a propane torch,lift up the handle,find the plastic washer,now melt it.Just watch what your burning and don't burn the paint off your gate.I did this on my 98 and other S-10s,it works great!
