2021 Kicker Multipro Tailgate System HELP!!!

So I had a 2020 GMC AT4 with the multipro tailgate for about 6 weeks before someone ran a stop sign and totaled it. I had ordered a bass boat to match the truck so as soon as it was totaled I was on the hunt for a replacement of the EXACT same truck. I ended up finding one states away that showed up 2 weeks after the initial delivery date and I had rescheduled my flight to go get it 4 times. When it did finally come in I flew down to get it on a Saturday and the dealership did not have time to install the kicker system in the tailgate on this truck but I told them no big deal because I knew i install it with no issues. Now this new truck is a 2021 instead of a 2020 but I don't see where anything has changed in the tailgate. Well of course if I'm posting this I have an issue...LOL

 

I was able to install all the brackets, components and wires with no issues  but when it came to the final step of hooking up the kicker panel and installing it, it will not fit. I have attached a picture of the instructions and you can see in that picture the panel has a recessed area in the middle to go around the bolts. It also has double holes that you have to drill in the tailgate to install. The panel that came in the GM box does not have the recessed edges for it to fit. It also has one hole between the speakers and the double holes on the ends of the panel do not even line up with the holes in the tailgate. I'm thinking that this is a panel that goes to a different vehicle...but how could that be? Do any other vehicles even have this kicker setup?

The part number listed on the box seems correct but that panel definitely different from the one on my 2020 Sierra Denali. There are two screws in each section on my panel. If you compare the plastic section from the the top edge to the top of the speaker grill, it appears shorter on your new part. How about the length of it from end to end?  Has GM announced Kicker tailgate speakers for the Silverado Multiflex tailgate or even another truck like the Hummer or Colorado? Maybe it's been re-boxed and you have the wrong part. Hope your dealership can resolve it. Keep us posted.

 

Here's a pic of my speakers.

Seems to be a part/box mix-up because that appears to be the one for the HD pickup tailgate!kicker.jpg.866dfa0419afba1827fa1c2145bda7f1.jpg

My local dealership has a new one for me to come pickup but I had been trying to figure out what the heck mine fit. Now I know!

I faced the same problem about half a year ago.
I received a panel by mail that simply did not fit my car, I could not do anything about it, I will be glad if there is someone here who solved this problem!

If it's an official GM part just go to your local dealer, that's what I did.

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
