One of the tailgate cables on the S-10 broke while I was unloading my quad at the farm. Good thing the other one held so their was no damage other than the cable. I had had it inspected just a couple of months back per the recall Chev had issued. Shop here in Seattle said the cables were fine and they would not be replaced. Took it to a dealership in The Dalles and they replaced them. Rotten customer service, took it in at 0830 and it was to be out in an hour. Got it back at noon. By the time I got done complaining, which I started at 1000, they had offered me a free oil change and wash with detail. Told them it would be a cold day in ell when I would trust a shop so poorly run to do any more work on any of our rigs. There was a letter of apology in the mail when I got back to Seattle. They want me to stop at their dealership to "discuss this situation". Like that's gonna happen. End of Rant.
Bottom line on this is I did find out you do not have to settle for having the cables inspected as suggested. If you have one of the recalled pickups, and they said everything from '92 thru '04 were on the list, you can tell them you want the new stainless cables and they will put them in for you. Dealerships don't like doing it because they loose money on the change-out.
