Tailgate Lift & Lock Good or Bad, Opions?

[Bob C. of Indiana]

Any complaints or grumbles besides having to lube them occasionally? I bought a solid tonneau and metal tailgate lift handle and just checking on the Lift & Lock..Thanks,Bob C.

Metal tailgate "lift" handle.....

I assume you mean the regular handle, but metal rather than plastic? My 96 had a metal handle that was great. Never had to lube it once. The only issues I had with my tailgate were with the yellow and white plastic pieces that attach to the rods that pull on the locks.

Oh, OK. My bad. I have a factory lock on my F150 that I can't get the key to work in. That must be what you are asking about oiling?

I bought my truck from a K9 cop, so He never locked it, and now it is froze up. I need to put some ATF in it.
