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?

      In the 6.6 gas thread, I added information in my fluid change thread about these gauges and temperatures. With very limited data, it so far looks like ~30 degrees difference between front and rear.

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.
