Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac - rear power lift support - liftgate issue 2007-2014

- Does your rear power liftgate only open a little bit and then close? After watching other people having the same issues on RUclips, I decide to make a video myself of me changing out the rear lift supports that help lift the rear tailgate door on my 2010 GMC Yukon. In the video I noticed the lighting was kind of bad when removing the clips to remove the lift support (sorry about that). I just used a small flat blade screwdriver to pry off the metal clips....super easy. The first one I did off camera and recorded doing the second one.
This whole job took less than 5 minutes in total to replace both supports!
I used ACDelco 510-1245 Professional Rear Compartment Lift Support.

There are many others to choose from, I just chose this one.
Here's the link where I purchased mine from -

Thank you for watching!!
My problem is I think the previous owner didn't do this fix and now I think the motor is slipping, only goes about a quarter open then grinds unless I help it open, so not only do I need a new cheaper lift supports, but probably also a new lift motor assembly. Great!
Oh man!!! Hope you get it figured out 😎👍
Thanks for the easy fix
Awesome!!

What if it’s it’s not the struts? I say this because I had to put a toy back there and it didn’t fit and I hit the button and it went down it closed and then from there it would not open or close when I hit the button or the remote key?
Hi William…….hmmmm…..this might be a long shot, did you try sitting in the drivers seat and use the rear hatch opening button located just above your head where they garage door opener switches are? That switch can also lock out the tailgate from opening.
to the point! Great Video
Thanks!!!
Mine won’t even open at all
Nay.....not sure if you tried this yet.....but, above the dome lights which is just above the rear view mirror, there is a few rocker style switches.....usually the one on the far right is the switch to open the rear tailgate. If that is in the off position , your tailgate will not function. On the bottom of that switch it says OFF, on the top of that switch it shows the rear hatch opening .......try pushing on the switch to open the rear tailgate.

Hi great video! Does anyone have a part number for the long linkage arm that goes from the trunk lid to the actuator? Thanks!!
Hi Dave......thanks for watching my video! I'm not sure if this is the part # you are looking for....but this is what I used.

my wife came back from getting hay for our fall decorations and says, "somethings wrong with the rear gate". did the exact thing yours did in the beginning of the video. She wasn't happy I blamed her for breaking it; "was it broken when you left?" "no" "is it broken now?" "i guess" "well, it seems to me that you broke it" lol
got some new struts from rockauto for less than 20$ total. easy peasy. thanks for the video.
Funny story! Glad it works now!!
Thanks for that informative video exactly what i was looking for
Awesome!
Had this issue on my 2011 escalade, and came across your video. It was a fix for me too! Thanks for the video!
Awesome!! Glad it worked!
Thought my liftgate was broken, turns out it was just off. 😂 Either way thanks for the help! 👍🏻👍🏻
Yup……I’ve done that also thinking the rear door wasn’t working and only to find out I also had the switch off !
Thank you for watching my video 🤘😎🤘

Thank you. I have a Denali and was about to pay 400.00 to fix this exact issue. Bless you.
Awesome!!! Glad it worked for you!

This guy has a good video
HAHAHAH, Thank you and love the clapping
Glad you liked it!! Haha!😆
I replaced the struts and stiil having the same issue. Any idea what it may be?
Joe, not sure honestly......maybe something electrical? I believe I remember seeing a video awhile back on that.
Hello by any chance did you fix it ?
I have the same issue on my 07 Suburban
@@vbrenda I wasn't sure if your comment was for me or Joe's question. For me, the struts fixed the issue.
@@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more hi Yes i replaced the struts and im still having the same issue
@@vbrenda oh man, that's a bummer. I can only assume something electrical possibly?
Thanks... easy fix, but I had to have someone lift the gate and I had to release the hinges about a quarter of an inch to open the gate wide enough to get the new ones on.
John.....Yes, I had to do the same thing also. I had my wife pushing up on the tailgate just enough so I could install the struts.
Glad it worked out for you! 🙂
I had to push like hell on mine. I had my dad hold the gate up the lort one came off easy but once I put the new one on the right one was hard to get off. I had to push the gate up a little more to get it to pop.
