what are specs on relay?  where did you get yours?  I know nothing about them.  I want to do the relay way instead of using old actuator.  what i did was kinda ghetto but i had to work with my limit knowledge and was really trying to get fob to work.

Just any relay will do you can get one from autozone for a few bucks or I got a pack of 5 from Amazon so I can use the other relays for other projects, just make sure the coil side is 12v.

I got everything working for QT6 like factory.   To upgrade from at QT5 (originally I had version with one lock actuator there is a QT5 version with 2 lock actuators) You need new torqu

I too have followed what Rally6.2RST has done and have gotten the QT6 Tailgate working almost like factory, the only difference is the key fob just requires a double tap to bring it up and/or down rat

They make waterproof ones but I don’t think it will be that much of an issue inside the tailgate.

I know my question is slightly off topic but the help I need requires knowledge of details such as the ones in your posts. I keep finding that visually there is no difference between the four tailgates of QT2, QT3, QT5 & QT6 from the factory on 2019-2022 Chevy Silverado 1500's. But I have seen trucks (not knowing which tailgate # they have) that have the raised center section/bump on the top of the tailgate and some that do not have that and are flat. 

 

We build truck caps and they require different rear door skirts if they have or don't have this raised section/bump. Can anyone enlighten me or should I just start a new topic about such a thing? We thought it was going to be related to the Multi-Flex tailgate and it may still be......However it's not as easy as they have the Multi-Flex so therefore we use skirt A. There's obviously more to it than that. Any help would be greatly appreciated... Gina

Thank you for sharing all this information.    I don't NEED a Power Up QT6 lift... But I sure would APPRECIATE having it.  I have a special needs daughter and lift a wheelchair in and out my pickup several times a day.

 

A friend of mine is helping me get this to work.  We purchased all the part numbers mentioned in these posts.  We knew the new module (pn 84652297) would not work unless it was first installed in a truck with this factory option to wake it up, but we purchased it with the idea of finding someone if needed.  Currently, if we hook up the new module, it will beep, but that is all.  We purchased a used module of pn 84651736.  It will not even beep.  So, we purchased another used one, thinking this one may just be bad.  But it is doing nothing as well.

 

We are stuck.  Any ideas?  Purchase another used module?  Where is a good place to do that?  Other ideas of something we may have done wrong?

 

Thank you!

in closed position, if i hit handle button it beeps.  i think the qt6 tailgate is supposed to beep in down position. right now i think in up position it thinks it is down.  maybe i need to take out motor and spin motor 90 degrees?

i have succesfully added memory seats without programming so i was hopefull this would work too.

@Rally6.2RST do you have details on how you added memory seats?

Make sure the tailgate switch you install in dash is for power up down tailgate not just power down.  Were your tailgate lock actuators new?

I’ll be attempting to do this to my 2021 Silverado LT - 1500. 
 

Found a Sierra tail gate on FB Marketplace for $150. Started taking it apart and finding the motor, driver/passenger lock actuators are the same parts but are superseded with new parts #s. Harness part # is different (86780814). The module label was scratched off so not sure what to expect there. 
 

For the hinges, did you guys have to drill that out? They look riveted. On my grey tailgate, I have bolts but the donor tailgate looks riveted.

Another update on this.  After doing some additional testing, I found my connection/connector under the bed (chassis side) doesn’t have the GMLAN signal present and why the module wasn’t communicating. I did a test run with some wire and got it to finally communicate.  
 

Here is the schematic.  K194 is the tailgate control module.  From there, the connection under the bed is the X926. Pin 20 is there but doesn’t make it all the way back into the truck.  My X138 connector, pin 11 is what I used for the running board connector.  So I temped in the wire run there to get it back into the truck’s BCM.  Once I did that, it responded.  
 

Still working with WAMS to get my BCM programmed for this tail gate. We previously programmed my BCM for the Multi-Flex tailgate. So it didn’t quite respond the way it’s supposed to. 
 

More to come!

Alright - so I’m an idiot.  I ran the GMLAN wire and spliced it to my running board harness’ GMLAN signal. Module didn’t respond. Perplexed… I took the tailgate harness apart at the main connector and found that the GMLAN pin #20 had BACKED out of the connector!  So when I plugged it back in, it wasn’t making a connection.

 

UGH.

 

After spending almost 2 hours running that new wire. LOL. So, if you have the GMLAN signal in the connection under the bed, that is what is needed to establish the communications from the module to the truck. 
 

So.. now the module responds with my factory wiring! 🤣
 

Will work on BCM stuff now once i get with WAMS on that part of it.

You guys seem to know these tailgates better than any dealer!!!! I have a 2033 Silverado LTZ with the powered up and down one piece tailgate.  Do you know of any way to disable the damn chimes (inside the cab ((same as the door chimes)) and the buzzer/ chimes emitting from the tailgate on pressing the button.  
 

makes this truck almost impossible to use on hunting trips!!!!  So loud to get gear out I almost leave it home

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
