Hi there. My kid brother has a 21 custom tb and wants to add the multi flex tailgate.  I’ve read that it’s likely it won’t function as intended since it needs a special harness.. however he mostly wants it for aesthetic reasons (bow tie). 
 

does anyone know the part #’s to order one?  Also.. will rear camera..etc still work the same?

 

thanks.

Don’t know. I can’t find a parts diagram for 21s on any parts websites. That’s an awful expensive way to get a tailgate with a bow tie on it. I think they are a few thousand dollars. 
 

If he is serious why doesn’t he just call the parts department at a dealer?

Good idea. We’ll try that.  He plans on keeping the truck forever.. so just a matter of an aesthetic mod I guess lol. Who knows maybe they’ll retrofit a harness with enough demand

There has been more than a few posts on just this forum asking if it’s possible to swap them, so there is at least some demand. I think the high price of a new tail gate is going to keep this from being a common modification, which would mean an aftermarket company isn’t going to develop whatever harness/programming would be required.

Find a complete one from another truck.

 

Its about $3000 for the parts alone, not including paint.  

 

This, find a wrecked used one, much easier and cheaper

Search on here. Someone just recently found a take off one that was a paint match for their truck that came off a High Country. The harnesses are different and I believe the main gate works properly but the inner gate doesn't work. My dealer wasn't having luck finding a Custom Trail Boss with the Multi Flex tailgate and they priced out adding it and they were around $3500 for parts WITHOUT the needed BCM programming, if it could even be added. I ended up custom ordering what I wanted because they had an open allocation.

Yeah the good news is my brother doesn’t seem bothered if the inner gate wouldn’t work.  Merely wants it for aesthetics.. so hopefully I can find a take off or a decent shape used one

      The Peckish Synapse

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
