On a ram 1500 how do you get at the bottom tailgate screws to remove it...is there a trick to it?

 

What screws? It should just lift right out on the passenger side then pull the driver side out. Never had to remove any screws to remove my tailgate.

 

Yeah you open it slightly, then lift up on one side (not sure which side) and that side will pop out. Then pull it out of the other side. Don't forget to remove the cables first.

 

You shouldn't have to remove any screws to take it off. Disconnect the cables, hold the tailgate open at a 45 degree angle and lift up and out on the right side. It will come off the hinge, then slide to the right to get it off the other side.

 

New to these trucks so i don't know to much but thanks for the info. So I just went out to try it and it won't move and I have been shaken the truck around while doing it.

 

Like red06RAM said, you need to open it about 45 degrees. Then try lifting the passenger side out. You need to get the passenger side out before you can get the driver's side out.

 

Thanks all, I got it off at 45 deg. And I tried putting it back on also so now I know that is easy also...thanks again

 

Did it not come with a manual? If that's the case, you can download one from Dodge.

 

Glad to hear you got it off.

 

No it didn't come with a manaul and the box was scratched so I found a 2 month old liner for $35.00
So I am learning things as I go and also through autozone website.
