I might be late to the party but I just noticed the multi-flex tailgate available in the Silverado builder.

Just take the dang hitch off after towing your vehicle. My opinion is that a truck looks stupid driving around with a hitch on without towing anything. Might as well have your “fake nuts”hanging from

Yeah now that it's available on Silverado's....would be interesting to see if people can start to figure out if it can be retrofit after the fact to non-equipped trucks. Even 2019 or 2020 models.

Not really.   But  of course, there are also those that leave a standard gate down and then have an 'opportunity' with the corner of the trailer they are pulling.  And there are those t

Its not a bad priced option if you need and use the Tailgate actually. I like where GM priced this. 

Even though I really like the Ram barn doors functionality ( if you need it) for $995 its price is pretty high .

Maybe this is hearsay or urban legend... but I have heard that the GMC (same as this one) multi-flex tailgate has issues if you have a trailer ball in the hitch receiver.... and it gets doinked....ianyone else heard this?

IF you leave hitch in receiver and open BOTH portions of the tail gate it WILL hit it. If you only open one part (just the top or the whole gate like a standard one) no problem. I always remove hitch when not in use.

I would 100% pay a measly $260 for this option. I think this tailgate is one of the great things GM does way better than the other brands.

Yup, and have the ding in the paint to prove it.

 

Very worthwhile option for my usage. Makes getting in/out of the bed a lot easier in my case.

Absolutely. Especially if you need it for work/plan .  $260 is a pretty darn good deal offered by GM here. .

Heck even the Ford Tailgate Step is $375

If they sold it as an accessory that would retrofit to your truck for the same price - that would be impressive.

 

Unfortunately, I don't see them ever selling these as an accessory.  Only an option to add on.

The multi pro tailgate works great in warm weather. We have had some pretty cold temps, a carwash and a bout of light freezing rain. Binding up pretty good afterwards. Today it was in the low 40' s still binding up.

I wish my 2019 had this tailgate.  Stepdad uses his all the time on his Sierra. Loves it. For $260! That’s a steal. To add it to my truck now would be an arm and a leg!

Don't wish anymore.  Just order a 21' with the option and trade or sell your 19'  Your wish comes true!   ?

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
