| I am the owner of a 1996 chevrolet s10, and read some of the complaints about spare tire separation from vehicle due to steel cable rubbing against the spare tire. i checked my truck and 3 strands of the cable had separated, and it looked like the cable was nearly at the half way point. i checked with the local dealer, and was told that i could purchase a new one for approximately $50.00. this new hoist cable assembly is a new design, and should not have this problem. what makes me mad is that we are not being notified about this potential problem. when i checked my owners manual, it shows the new improved hoist assembly. no accident occurred, but it was just a matter of time before it would have occurred. *nlm | |||
