Key Features
-
Massive 16-End Kit: Contains 12 standard billet aluminum cable ends and 4 cam-style locking ends — enough to repair 8 complete door cables. Fix every door on a crew cab truck with spares to keep on the shelf.
-
CNC-Machined 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum: Every end is precision-cut from certified aircraft-grade aluminum billet. These ends will never crack, snap, or become brittle like the OEM plastic parts that made this repair kit necessary in the first place.
-
Cam-Style Innovation: The 4 cam-style locking ends eliminate the need to bend cable brackets during installation. This design improvement makes installation faster and prevents accidental bracket damage — a common frustration with plastic replacement ends.
-
Fleet-Ready Economics: At just over $2 per billet aluminum end, this kit is the most cost-effective way to permanently solve door cable failures across multiple vehicles. Compare to $100+ per door at a dealership for new cable assemblies — that still use the same failure-prone plastic ends.
-
Universal Ford Door Compatibility: Works on front doors, rear doors, cargo doors, liftgates, suicide doors, tailgates, and rear hatches across the entire 1992-2013 Ford truck and van lineup.

Fleet Benefits
For fleet managers and independent shops, this 16-end kit transforms a recurring maintenance headache into a one-time solve. Typical Ford door cable failure occurs between 80,000-150,000 miles across the entire 1992-2013 lineup. With enough ends to repair 8 complete cables, this kit handles:
- A complete 4-door crew cab (all 4 doors, all cables)
- Two standard cab trucks with full door repairs
- A work van with cargo doors plus spares
- Shop inventory for walk-in Ford door cable repairs
Installation Guide
-
Remove Door Panel: Remove the interior door panel to access the latch mechanism. Most models use screws and plastic push-pins.
-
Remove Broken Cable End: Identify and remove the broken OEM plastic cable end. Clean the cable end.
-
Install Standard End: Slide cable into standard billet end. Secure as designed.
-
Use Cam-Style End Where Needed: For applications requiring bracket bending with OEM ends, substitute a cam-style locking end. It locks without bracket modification.
-
Reconnect: Attach repaired cable to latch. Test operation before reinstalling panel.
-
Replace Panel: Reinstall door panel. Verify door opens from both inside and outside handles.
FAQ
Q: How many doors can this kit repair?
A: This 16-end kit fixes 8 complete door cables — enough for all 4 doors of a crew cab truck or multiple vehicles. Each door typically uses 2 cables (interior handle and latch mechanism).
Q: What's the difference between the 4-end and 16-end kits?
A: The 4-end kit (3 standard + 1 cam) repairs 2 cables — ideal for a single door. The 16-end kit (12 standard + 4 cam) repairs 8 cables — designed for fleet vehicles, multi-door repairs, or shop inventory.
Q: How long does installation take per door?
A: Approximately 15-30 minutes per door for someone with basic mechanical skills. The cam-style ends significantly speed up installation by eliminating the need for cable bracket bending.
Q: Is this a permanent fix?
A: Yes. The OEM failure is caused by plastic cable ends becoming brittle and cracking over time. Replacing them with CNC-machined billet aluminum eliminates the failure mechanism entirely. These ends will outlast the vehicle.
