[QUOTE="Ruger, post: 2009253, member: 1594"] You have relatives here. Extend the tailgate step and note how the pivoting top of the step causes the hook to disengage from the hook-shaped latch fixed to the inside of the tailgate. If you have used your step appreciably you will probably see where the hook has worn away the paint on the latch. Lube where the hook and latch engage each other with mastodon or mammoth fat, or perhaps some silicone grease. If that doesn't help and since there is more that one way to skin a gazelle, you might use a fine file or emory board to take the sharp edge off the latch. [/QUOTE]
