2019 Laramie crew cab.
- I was having some issues with the tailgate closing and I tightened down the brackets on the tailgate itself. Ever since the hinge is really tight and difficult to open. If i double click the key to release the tailgate, nothing happens. I basically have to use most of my weight to get the tailgate down.
I released the tailgate from the hinge and I cant find any obstruction. I ended up using an adustable wrench to see if I could turn it 180 degrees to see if that mattered and I cant get the hinge to budge without the leverage of the tailgate.
For now I tried to blow out any debris and put some wd40 around it - made a small difference.
Anyone come upon this or have any suggestions for my hinge being really stiff?
