Multi-flex Tailgate Issue

The Multi-flex tailgate on my 2022 refresh will not open the upper portion of the tailgate. I've tried to enable/disable the upper portion by holding the button for 3 seconds, but the taillights will not flash. 

 

I've got an appointment next week to have the dealership look at it, but was hoping it was an easy fix I could do at home. Anyone have any ideas?

Do you have a factory hitch cover? I have seen newer trucks come from the factory with the Curt hitch cover that disables the inner tailgate if the cover is open (if a hitch ball mount is installed).

No, I do not have the GM or Curt hitch protector installed.

If tails aren't flashing, sounds like it's the inner gate switch. I have read of failures. Easy to replace.

That's what I was reading as well. I'll let GM replace it under warranty. Thanks

I wasn't meaning for you to change it. I was meaning it would be hard for the technician to fubar the job.

My inner tailgate opens (like using it as a table top up high) but from there if I try to open the main tailgate it does not open. I have to close the inner gate then open the main gate and then the inner gate. Was that your tailgate issue?  I'm not sure it how mine is functioning is as designed or am I missing something here.

I wish it worked with the inner gate down. I guess it's to prevent you from dropping the gate and damaging it with the inner gate down. It's annoying to close the inner gate, open the main gate, then open the inner gate again. Just work when I push the dang buttons!

My 22 refreshed Trail Boss LT has the mutiflex tailgate and the inner tailgate will not deactivate by holding the top button for 3 seconds. As soon as you touch the top button it releases the inner tailgate. The dealership has tried to get it to work and couldn't. They don't know why it isn't deactivating or how to fix it. I guess I get to add this to the list of things that don't work in my $65000 truck.

When I got my truck from the dealer I could open the inner tailgate first and then open the outer tailgate…in fact the salesperson said that was the preferred method. But now the inner gate won’t open unless the main gate is open. 😕

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
