There were two plugs mentioned and shown in pics on page 2.  The plug JoeD49 asked about (circled in the pic he posted above) is for the trailer TPMS receiver.  There is a round plug behind the bumper

yea my thoughts exactly.  They really just would rather not do it.  would have been nice to have more camera options but oh well.  thats what happens when you take a truck from the lot i suppose!  Sti

Do you already have the Tow package?  If not, could be the wiring for the trailer...

 

If you do, could possibly be the trailering camera??  

 

you got any pictures?

Are you looking at the hole to stick the crank in, to lower the spare tire?

Anybody know what the plug behind the license plate is for?  I've searched but come up with nothing.

Could you provide a picture of the hole?

 

Makes guessing a lot easier.

I already put the license plate on.  I'll snap a picture tonight.  When I took the dealer tag off to put the license plate on, there is a plug just sitting there behind the plate with nothing plugged in to it.

Tow package, rear (back up) camera, and the LED lights mounted under the bed rails from the factory come to mind.

 

But take the picture, that way more might be able to help.

Already have the tow package.  I guess the trailering camera would make the most sense.

No.  It's not a hole.  There is just a plug hanging loose there.  I'll try to get a picture tonight.

I put my plates on over the weekend and didn’t pay much attention as my kids were running around in the street. Pretty sure I saw wires and a plug too. Was too busy yelling at my kids to get out of the street to take a good look. Now I’m curious. Will have to investigate.

Pretty sure it’s the plug for the wireless trailer tire pressure sensors. Had a look behind my license plate and there’s a black box there connected to that plug. Does your truck have the trailer tire pressure monitoring?

No it doesnt. That is probably what it is.

Does it have a green plug? When I wired my Putco Blade tailgate lightbar using the Putco Blade quick connect harness I plugged into a previously unused connector.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

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

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
