so you don't have electric locks on your truck? or you do and you don't use them? if the electric locks go out you can still use your key to get in the vehicle just like if the electric lock goes out in your tailgate you could still use the key to open it.

 

I don't understand why some of yall are making such a big stink about someone asking about electric locking/unlocking tailgate... geez

Actually sounds like one of the more practical features they could install. Wouldn't mind having it - I'd use it.

Ordered my tailgate lock today. My 6.2 Iridium Metallic Sierra SLT Z71 arrived at dealer yesterday. I was really blown away by the color and overall look of the truck. I will be picking up on Sat after they get the Linex spray in liner done. I ordered the factory hard tonneau cover And think the locking tailgate makes a ton of sense, and should have been a factory install. I took wife and 2 kids out for a 25mile "test ride" yesterday to make sure there were no issues, ie vibration on highway, and the truck drove beautifully. I really like the ride with Z71, I didn't hammer the engine but it has a lot of grunt off the line, and easily can spin rear tires from standing start. I decided after seeing the factory chrome 20" wheels that I really like them with the Iridium Metallic paint, as I was contemplating factory 22's. I didn't realize the 22's tires are lower height sidewalls, so the circumference of tire in the wheel well is same as 20's, and I prefer the look of the taller sidewalls. I have 3.42 rear...will post pics and another write up after I take delivery this weekend. Planning on Rosen headrest DVD's, LED back-up lights mounted under rear bumper, and Escort 9500 remote mounted radar detector and front laser diffuser, which I have had on 2 previous vehicles and works really well.

...I think you (talking in general here) have to actually experience some of these features before you can come to an informed opinion on their usefulness/value...

 

I don't think that the features are useless.

Most people just get to easily carried away and take it as granted that the system will never fail on them.

 

I'm sure every one of us has experienced a situation when one trusted a system and then it failed.

And the worst (what bothers me the most) is that it doesn't have to be my system what screws up to bring me in danger.

 

so long

100% agree with you i would def use it as well. my tailgate stays unlocked most of the time because there is nothing worse than having something in your hands that you are about to put in the back of your truck and then you or someone else goes to open your tailgate and IT'S LOCKED! so now you gotta put the stuff down and unlock it with the key... lol

A power locking tail gate makes sense. My buddy has one on his ford. Its nice to say "hey the tail gates locked". And click he opens it from the drivers seat. Also you know its locked when you lock the truck.

 

Anyone saying that they can just check it anyways, do you manually check all your doors everytime?

 

Its a good option, and people steal tailgates, which are expensive.

 

Y'all bought 50,000$+ trucks and don't have locking tailgate?

ROFL

LMAO

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
