Quad cab door and tailgate dont open?
I did some searching, and i couldnt find much about this.
The drivers side quad cab door dont open.. tried both side and inside handle.. gave the door a lil push too, and still dont open.. Is it fairly simple to take the door panel off and see what the problem is? or is it pretty much sealed off ?
same with the tailgate... how do you go about resolving the tailgate?

What I've found with my tailgate is that you need to keep the latches lubricated or they will stick (open or closed). I would start by spraying WD40 onto each latch through the crack between the tailgate and box (using the thin tube that comes with the can). You can also clean up the handle mechanism by popping off the plastic moulding from the outside. WD40 should help clean it up and get it working, but it will dry out too fast. I would come back with white lithium grease for a long-term lubricant.

The rear QC door cable on my truck came off of mine and it was as simple as placing the cable back in place. The door does pull off but first you have to remove one torx screw inside the door latch handle and the two phillips screws in the hand hole.
