I bought a refresh 2022 silverado LT with the regular tailgate.

 

I would like to have the multipro version, I haven't really found much info online, where could I buy it? and do any of you know if it will fit meaning the electrical plugs,etc.

 

Anyone have a multipro tailgate that would like to trade it for the regular one and some cash $$$ on my end?  my truck is color summit white.

From what I have read it's not possible to add to one that was not manufactured with that option. Wiring harness and computers being why

When the dealer was looking for a truck for me my must have option was the Multi Flex tailgate. They weren't having luck finding one and they looked into adding one and it was over $3K for just the parts. They then found that the wiring harness are different and the computer can't be updated to make it work properly. I did run across a thread where someone with a 2500 added one and somehow rigged the center gate to open, but it wasn't like factory though.

You can do it, somebody on here posted in the last month exactly how they did it and was able to make it work.  You will have to use the search function.

But it’s so much easier to just post without searching. Not like there haven’t been a dozen or more threads on this.

If I had decided to research other’s experiences I would have done so.

 

I decided to do my own post and take it from there.

 

It’s much easier to not participate on a thread when you have nothing to contribute towards the question. Personal opinions are not what the topic is for! Thank you

I see. Considering that information I rather keep what I have. Thank you for your response.

The experience of others give you the answer you’re looking for. That is, after all, what you’re soliciting by posting. Search and read. The information regurgitated in this thread is the same information in every other thread on the forum on this topic. 

 

Parts alone would be expensive from GM.

Even if you get a tailgate, GM won’t make it work.

Some guy did the swap on an HD and it works with minor mods.

 

All of that information is on this forum, easily found by searching.

As I mentioned, if I wanted to search I would have gone that route but instead I decided to create my own post which anyone has the option to do so.


 

I hope that makes sense.

nestor, ive done it on my 2019 1500 LT that came with auto down non flex gate, check your factory plug for gate on body side of plug, if has 9 wires it will go down like yours does but not the multiflex part. the multiflex gate has the same plug

 

no biggie, just have to take back panel off main gate and attach zip ties to actuators for center part and then drill small holes for them to protrude thru and thus it will come down once both are pulled.  this option is well worth it. 

 

U must have a multiflex gate off a 1500 to do on a 1500.. i purchased one off a later year LTZ and it went right on. i had to use bushings off my original gate, the cameras weren't the same so i used my original, little more work than many people may want to do but i am very capable of such things

 

Chevrolet dealers could do the programming but refuse, if a 19 GMC AT4 came with this option then surely a 19 cheby can be made to work as well, the BCM needs programming, but they not interested in the job, so they not getting my time or money, took them all day to make the correct lamp come on dash for factory added fogs

I have a 2025 Silverado double cab RST with the Duramax diesel.  It has the standard tailgate and I've watched some videos on how to get the multiflex tailgate to work.  I'm an electrican (among other things) and don't think I'd have a problem getting the wiring straight, I'm just not sure what years will fit my rig.  I'm pretty sure the 2500/3500 gates are different sizes, but does anyone know if a 2024 or earlier will fit on a 2025?  Thanks for your help...

HD gates won't fit the 1500 and vis a versa.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
