Tailgate Removal

[steveved]

If this is a repeat post, I oppologize in advance.

 

A few months ago, I had a little run in with a golf cart on a trailer I was pulling. This resulted in a sizeable dent in the tailgate of my new truck.

 

A friend who works in a body shop said he could take care of it for me if I could leave it with him for a week or two and he'll squeeze it in between jobs.

 

But, I don't want to be without my truck for a week or two, so I am thinking about just removing the tailgate and leaving that with him for a few weeks.

 

In the old days, that was no issue. But, with this new one having a backup camera, I have to wonder: will this cause a constant warning or complaint from the computer?

 

Has anyone with a backup camera removed their tailgate? Will this pose any sort of problem?

Unplug it and see what happens.

It just won't show up on the screen. You'll be fine without it

Without a tailgate, the rearward view is clearer than ever.

The screen will just be black with the guide lines. Also removing the tailgate is the same for ever since I can remember, at least with GMs.

Just make sure to snake the harness out of the hole veggie you go removing the tailgate. Don't want to have to buy a new harness as well
