depending on the year check for factory recalls had same issue on my 1999 and they replaces the internal components for free, even the worn ones that were not included in the recall.
The left or right tailgate cable comes as an assembly that includes the left or right side tailgate latch.

how can i repair a 94 chevy k1500 tailgate latch. cannot open gate
Can you be just a little more specific? Fix what? the latch mechanism, a hinge? Do you want to know how to take it off?
The tailgate latch comes off with the cable. It is one piece.
You need to order the part(s) first, which you can do at your local Toyota dealership or at an auto parts store. Then, you simply disassemble the tailgate, remove the defective latch component, and put in the new part, and then reassemble the tailgate.
Get you a good chisel, hammer and bust the thing into pieces, only way, bro. Just did one on a 1997 QX4, same latch.
lmc truck, there on the web
remove the panel from the gate (it may be difficult if the gate is still closed). there is a metal panel held w/ screws; remove that panel and the latch will be visible. pull both rods at the same time to unlatch the gate (careful, the space is small and the truck loves to pinch!).
While pulling on the handle as if to open the hatch, take a screw driver and pop the locking mechanism/latch to the open position. It should work no problem.
open tailgate and there will be two screws. upper and lower. upper by the tailgate latch.
put a screwdriver in the latch pull the handle and apply pressure to the screw driver should pop the latch open
