Those of you who went custom or cat-back with no flapper valve -- do you have this weird kind of "buffeting" sound from the rear on slow speeds 30-40 when shifting to low gear/activating cylinder deactivation? I'm chasing down this weirdness that's been present for a really long time and I think it's exhaust -- it wasn't long before I ripped out the stock and put a Flowmaster 40 on with no valve but I didn't think much of this. Just curious if others experience this. Hard to explain -- feels like buffeting under the bed. I can make it happens a lot around 20-30-40ish mph when just casually driving and getting the truck into the lowest gear and/or having cylinder deactivation happening along with it. I was tempted to run it by Chevy to make sure it wasn't like a diff issue or transmission issue. I can't remember if this was present before I put a lift on. I had the exhaust way before I put the lift but didn't really pay attention I suppose.

I bought this one: https://www.putco.com/product/blade-tailgate-light-bar-plug-n-play/9202060-05/ I attached the PDF install for it. 529005.pdf

I got mine from Putco directly and it had a harness. I had to get under the truck and unplug 3 different plugs; and then plug in putco's harness, then the GM plugs back into it. And at the end was a 4 pin plug and reverse plug -- along with a black box.

Thanks! I just found it on their website -- and it looks like it comes with the harness too. I pulled the harness last night so will see if the issues go away. If they do I'll contact Putco; maybe I got a bad harness that is back feeding power or something.

Yep. I had one on my 2015 and it never caused me issues. Now I got all these problems and they’re sending me on my way. Telling me it’s the light bar….. My guess is they didn’t sell me the truck so they have no vested interest in helping.

I bought a Putco 60” blade with quick connect harness. I keep having weird blind split indicator issues and Chevy says it’s the bar and it’s causing all these alerts. Putco says it’s impossible. Going to pick up the truck and pull the harness. Has anyone had this issue before? Here are the install instructions for my bar: https://www.putco.com/product/blade-tailgate-light-bar-plug-n-play/9202060-05/

Just got home and pulled the connections for the putco, no change. Couldn’t release the tailgate. i pulled the black plug apart (main connector for entire harness in the tailgate) and plugged it back in—now it works……… I’m at a lost. The connector only goes on one way. It’s not complicated so unsure why this is happening. May have to take it to the dealer.

I have a 23’ 1500 LTZ with 7k miles. i installed a Putco blade on the back and removed the tailgate (unplug the harness and camera.) The blade was the one that comes with the plug in play harness where you disconnect the taillights and put them inline. Ever since this I am having issues where my mirror blind spots will stay yellow for a long period of time. And my tailgate button will not lower or raise (this is the button on the actual tailgate—the one inside the truck is fine.) Has anyone installed a blade and had this issue? I’m about to disconnect the blade and see if that changes. Otherwise I need to head to the dealer. The weird part is my backup camera and sensors work just fine. I just seem to randomly lose my blind spot sensors and the tailgate button. I was very careful when I undid the harness and removed the tailgate from the truck. I made sure not to break anything. This is what I installed: https://www.putco.com/product/blade-tailgate-light-bar-plug-n-play/v/Chevy/Silverado 1500/2023/ Thanks for any help!

Has anyone actually had any issues? I just picked up a 2023 LTZ and my tint shop who I've used for 8 years just told me this. I have to sign a waiver to get Air 80 put on my front windshield (they use Llumar.) He said they'd shove towels/etc down in there to be safe, but I will need to sign the waiver.

Sadly codes don’t offer discount. At least they didn’t show for me. Sure accepted but it was $0. [emoji45] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nimnicht has about 15 of them on the lot. I was looking at one the other day. By the way hi from your friend about 30 miles north of you on A1A. [emoji3526] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a 15 LTZ Z71 with BDS 6” and 35x12.50x18s. My garage is 7 feet tall and I fit inside it just fine. You can probably just cross reference stock heights between 2015 and yours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep! I love my guys too. I’m in market for new exhaust too. I currently had them weld in a flow master 40 with over axle dumps, but I want more throaty now. LOL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I ran by shop and had my buddy look. Sure enough that battery was done for. I just had them throw GM battery in it since I’ve been having issues with the parts store battery. I didn’t have desire to go deal with them. I brought boys some beer and they got me in and out in 20 mins. I don’t care what people say; got to take care of your service department folks! They’ll be there when you need them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve suspected something odd with my wonderful autozone battery for awhile. However last night I came home from a 7 day trip and my truck barely started at airport. By barely I literally thought damn I need a jump now, and she fired up off the last struggling turn of starter. I don’t have any draining electronics out of everything stock. I don’t think my AMP steps pull power. However, does 7 days in airport parking garage sound right? I know over times battery will die but I figured I had more than 7 days.
