I adjusted the latch on the tailgate today and it seems to have stopped for
now...
The Dakota will be going in soon for a fresh coat of paint,so we'll
dis-assemble the tailgate and pull the latch and release mechanism so it can
be painted properly and the mechanics will be cleaned and
lubricated.........
But for now, it's stopped rattling and closes tighter. ;)

I had one of the rubber bumpers missing and it would rattle a little.
