Uhm...what?

Sure if they work for what you're trying to do.

We can't read your mind.

Those aren't cables by the way.

 

That was quite confusing !

I thought you were replacing the tail gate support cables.

I have no idea about the rear window of a cap hydraulic supports.

 

I need to replace to Hydrolic one so can get a better support the trunk latch

 

Ok, what?

 

Yup. I haven't been able to make sense of a single post from the OP. I can't tell if OP is ESL or just using talk to text on their phone. I kinda doubt the TOT though... it would have spelled "hydraulic" correctly.

 

OP, you may want to see a doctor.

 

IDK dude, I'd walk that back. If the OP is non-english speaking (which I'd bet is likely), that's not very inclusive.

 

@Tsean

Prefieres hablar en espanol?

 

Pretty shitty comment.

 

I am pretty shitty If I am wrong too . Maybe he's not ESL but just types like a "normal" youth these days without punctuation or sentence structure.

 

You didn’t post the comment. Or did you?

 

I didn't post the doctor comment, but my comment about ESL could be equally as incorrect.

 

Also very limited knowledge about vehicles as well.

 

Are you trying to replace a tailgate cable with a gas strut?

 

That's my thought as well, but he said 'support' which...you can't add payload to a bed simply by adding gas struts on there.

Unless he means he wants a tailgate that opens softly? Or?

 

i want tailgate open softly and plus it can hold sturdy the loads so im going to use the tailgate open if im be loading my honda monkey bike so i can get better support so in order to make this happen here is the picture what i want to do it so i want to replace the old strings onto these types of hydraulic tailgate assist

 

OP, I've actually looked into this. well, at least until i removed my tailgate.

They make kits for this but not for our trucks. You would not be able to replace the cables. The gas struts can't hold the weight of the tailgate, let alone any weight placed on it.
however, if you can determine the length needed you can make a bracket to add the gas strut to the tailgate to give you the soft open feature you're looking for.
I am unaware of anyone that has done this to our trucks though. Does anyone else know if someones successfully done this?

 

Ok got it, thank you for great inputs

 

A cable will be far stronger than a gas strut.

To close the tailgate softly just requires some mindfulness on your part.
