    Not much for Blanco to tow. Going from Bay Area,CA to Seattle, WA. Towing a 6x12 uhaul trailer. Empty going up. Full going back. I will be documenting the mpg for all.

    Ok, so again i took the tailgate apart and found that the springs that release the tailgate were kinda weak, I through silicon grease at it and pulled the "rubber" bushing out of the hinge and massaged the silicon grease into it. cleaned out the hinged areas and now it drops fast and every time. I called Chevy and a technician told me that you need to use silicon grease. Do not use regular grease, from the factory they "use" silicon grease and regular grease would not mix well. Thanks for all the help.

    Ok, so i lubed what i could. Now it does drop almost every time. Every once in a while it still will not drop when the rear is higher(parked backwards in a driveway). i lubed the usual locations, the hinges on the body, i removed the access panel and put some lube on the latching points. I am using silicon grease. I could not tell if the OEM grease was silicon or normal grease. Does anyone one the actual "grease points"?

    I do not have a tonneau. Thanks, I did not think about adding that i do not have a tonneau cover. I will try to lube the tailgate tonight. Thanks to all for the help.

    It might not be lubricated properly, And/or is there a way to adjust the initial push from the spring/gas shock? @aseibelDont you have a manual open tailgate?

    When i went in for my first oil change 4 weeks after, one of the service managers told me that it will work in, I told them that it should not need to work in, but ok for now and ill do it a few hundred more times before bringing it back. Its been 2 or so months and i have not taken it back yet. I wanted to see if anyone else is having the same issue

    Hello, I purchased my truck a few months ago and most of the time i need to press the button 2-5 times to drop my tailgate without any help. With a little (and i mean 5 lbs) of pulling while pressing the button it works most of the time, even then i might have to press it twice. The truck is a new body 2019 Silverado LT 4x4. It started doing this day one, i thought it might just need to work in/break in and it did not. Is anyone else having this issue? If so do you know how to fix it? I have tried with the vehicle on level ground and even then it does not work all the time also i tried it on grounds where the front is up a few inches and i would still have to press at least twice. Every 50 times or so it will go down with one press. Any help will be appreciated.
