    Well as the originator of this thread after 2.5 years the problem is back! Glad to see GM has acknowledged the issue. To the dealership I go!

    Where did you purchase the adapter from?
  4. jsward12
    I think I have the same issue, did you guys ever figure out what the issue was?

    Welcome! Read through my earlier posts with the remedy. Seems to be related to faulty switches and potentially the dampeners being too tight which may short out the switch as well. My dealership replaced both and been working fine ever since .

    Go to page 1 post from March, this is a well known issue. Seems to be an issue with upper tailgate switch.

    Yeah. I read somewhere, where deleting the profile and making a new one worked so I'll try that.

    Hi, I recently had 4 trailer tires installed on my camper via mobile service. He also installed the GM tpms. I cannot get them to sync with the truck. I've tried the manual and tool methods. Do these things need to spin turn on? I haven't towed the camper yet since the tires were installed in my driveway. Thanks in advance.

    Seems like a half ass fix.

    Good luck M Huskey! Craziness, seems like a bad batch of switches..... I wonder if this is happening on the 1500's?

    Best of luck. Definitely frustrating.....

    Bill at Central not Prime.

    Yep. Talk to Bill Devine or Gabe. They were great. I had created a video just in case it was behaving when I dropped it off but it was doing the same thing for them....Not sure what the factory is doing during installs but clearly some process quality control gap going on. Bill threw the kitchen sink at it and so far so good....

    Hemi tick is horrible, I test drove one, asked the sales guy wtf is that noise. He says it goes away when the engine warms up I was like are you serious. Now at camp grounds I pay close attention to those hemi's and they all sound like they have loose serp belts.... This tailgate issue is pretty weird, so far so good on my repairs fixing the issue....for now...

    That stinks, I had to wait about a month for parts and it took them a half day to repair the issue. Have talk with Bill in Service. I would have them disconnect the tailgate buttons while they order new switches. Your tailgate will still work via FOB and inside the cab switch (minus inner tailgate) without fearing it opening whenever.... It's been since early April since my repairs and fingers crossed... Two switches and dampener...

    Oh wow. Keep us posted.
  17. jsward12
    Ok cool mine does the same exact thing.
  18. jsward12
    Yep what a pain.... Been nearly 3 months for me and tailgate working fine after dampner and both switches were replaced...
  19. jsward12
    I believe you have to take the backing off of tailgate. There are many small hex screws....
  20. jsward12
    Yep sucky issue. So far so good with the fixes the dealership did...
  21. jsward12
    Yes. The dealership replaced the tailgate dampener and both switches. Not to jinx it but the tailgate seems fine. It took about a month for the parts to come in. Have your dealership contact Central GMC in Norwood Ma and ask for Bill in service for more info....

    Hey gang, on the 6.6 gasser does anyone hear a slight chirp when you put the truck into gear? Doesnt matter if engine is cold or warm. It is noticeable around 1100 -1500 RPM's. Reminds me a little bit of 6.4 Hemi chirp.
  23. jsward12
    I notice a sulfur smell when I am parking the truck. Backing into the spot go forward to straighten then backup a decent smell of sulfur is noticable. The truck only has 1600 miles on it and I use 87 octane. Is this a matter of the exhaust system not being fully broken in?
  24. jsward12
    You make great points. I've owned the truck for two months and the tailgate hasn't worked for most of that time. I'm looking forward to getting it fixed and using it to it's fullest
  25. jsward12
    I agree. It's just a gimmick anyway...
