Anyone taken the multi pro tailgate off the yet?  I need to put my camper on and the tailgate needs to be off.  Is it just a matter of disconnecting the camera wiring from under the back of the truck and then removing it at the 45 degree angle?  Thanks in advance!

I took the MultiPro tailgate off today.  Was pretty much like my 16 Silverado HD.  Passenger side at 45 degrees, remove that side, lift and pull off to that side.  Unhooked the backup camera and as Morgan above said, none of the cameras work with that one disconnected.  Anyone know of a way to get around this so all other cameras work?

I wrote letters to Mark Reuss, President of General Motors, Tim Herrick, Vice President, And Jim Danahy, Executive Chief Engineer to get an answer about my new truck cameras not working with the tailgate off. I sent it on the 5th. No answer yet. Ready to go full steam on social media. Seems like they do not know or care about the customer base, or never bothered to ask. I also found out that the infotainment system blacks out when you turn the turn signal on, very unsafe if needing directions, very distracting, when you have to touch the screen to restore every time.

Thank you. I think that's what I will have to do. It's a shame we have to pay to get something operational that the other pickup brands don't have to. I was hoping for a software fix from GM.

Yeah a software fix or a jumper to complete the circuit so all of the other cameras work would have been preferred.

I'm simply going to move the tailgate camera to my camper. I'll post after I'm done this weekend.

I ordered this one and put it on and it completed the circuit.  I've played the tailgate camera roulette before, this pays for itself.

Looks great - glad it works. I'm going to search for a cheaper option first - but I totally get wanting it to work without a lot of effort.

 

I see they have that same kit without the camera, which is about 1/2 price. But of course you have to harvest your camera out of the tailgate first.

 

Anyway great find thanks.

 

FWIW - I am less concerned about this camera, and more concerned about the one in the rearview mirror. That one would have to be relocated from the back of the cab, and I'm not looking forward to that... but I'm going to give it a swing before putting the camper on this weekend.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
