My last post, on that post I linked, is the most promising cable I've seen. From J. Carter. You can't see his cable's detent groove either BUT in the pic of the available boot, you can see a ferrule with a detent. Such a difficult thing to verify. I can't believe it!!

To add to the fun, the long bed cable is on back order. The one that says: "produced just like GM made them".

The short bed cable, which is available now, has no pic and does not say: "produced just like GM made them". But it does say "We have stopped marketing the black vinyl covered cables. Their quality, including no boot to keep water out of the inside, was not what we wanted, so we made what was correct".

LMC does not have a cable like that for $19.95.... If you have a short bed, Buy the J. Carter cable and do it QUICK
