Just a note. I pulled a small motorcycle trailer about 360 miles round trip on Sunday with a 4 pin  connector and had no problems. The trailer had LED lights too. As a side note I got 16.5 mpg according to the computer with 3 motorcycles and 3 adults in the truck. I know it's a small trailer but didn't even know it was there. I was impressed with the 6.2's mileage because my last truck with the 3.5 EcoBoost while having no trouble pulling was only getting 10 mpg in similar situations.

Same issue here. Less than 600 miles on 2019 1500. It's at the dealer for the second time in less than three weeks (2 of those weeks it wasn't driven). Took it out in the snow five blocks to grab a bi

These issues also happen in hot weather too. Ninety-six in Atlanta and I get the various errors that others have experienced. Random no trailer attached but the most common is "left turn signal unplugged(blinker light blinks rapidly)".  In addition to the trailer light issue I also have the jingling  front axle issue and just this week the had the had the "SD Card has been removed error". Nice build quality. 

 

Does anyone have any current information on the trailer system issues

I got a '21 trail boss with the advanced trailering package on it. Put 1800 miles on the truck and never hooked up a trailer. Washed it last week when it was almost 40° out. Parked in the garage then all of a sudden it started doing the trailer disconnected message over and over non stop. I shut off the trailer detection.  Went away for a few days now it came back with vengeance. Now it says check trailer lamps (all different ones) and then makes my trucks turn signals blink real fast like a light is out. I put it in the garage and cranked heat up to 70 over night and it's still messing up. Took it I'm to dealer today and he can't figure it out and they kept it over night. I'm hoping to have an answer tomorrow.

2021 Yukon here, same issue since I got the car, my dealer seems to have 0 idea and they can't reproduce it when I bring it in. Did anyone wind up finding a fix?

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

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

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
