That doesn't work - maybe it did decades ago.  I was hopeful but they just cheaped out and its a real shame.  I've been pretty disappointed with my truck compared to my previous Ford Raptor.  The underseat storage is just WAY too small.  I might change it out.  I like the tailgate deal where I can step in closer to get stuff out but other than that I've seen little benefit.  My lightning was a lemon so I sold it back to ford and was so mad at ford I went GM just as an FYI.

Are you saying that the double pull on the rear doors doesn't work? I don't really believe that. I get the feeling that your never going to be happy because its not a Ford, even though the truck is operating as its supposed to.

I might not be happy with this truck, however without a doubt the double pull doesn't not work and I'm not lying about it because the rest of the truck lacks features from the previous 4 model years (where is the electric tailgate that was available?!)

 

It is operating as it is supposed to and that's my problem!

Have you taken it to the dealer and done warranty on it? If not you need to create a list and schedule an appointment with your dealer. If something is not working as it should (the doors on all 6 of my GM vehicles since 2015 model year open with two pulls including my refresh 22) then you should give them an opportunity to fix it. Other features you may just not have, whether that was the salesman lying to you or just not knowing what he was talking about; that was on you to test or investigate before purchasing the vehicle. I don't know what to tell you besides to look at your RPO codes and figure out exactly what the truck has and doesn't have and to read your user manual to familiarize yourself with how the features of your truck operate. 

 

As for electric tailgate, are you referring to the automatic lift and close because thats not a standard feature on any trim level (and probably because you have the multiflex tailgate) but part of a specific package which your truck might not have been equipped with. As for any of the radio glitches, make sure your software is updated. If it is and still doing funny stuff, no one on these forums is going to be able to help. Add it to the warranty list and let the dealer investigate and fix.

Double pull from the INSIDE not from the outside! The buttons on the door handles unlock the back doors from outside the truck

I want to be able to unlock the back door from the outside, when approaching the vehicle to put things in the backseat first.  The button is GONE on the back door handles.  An either cost-cutting matter or supply chain shortage excuses considering the 2019's had the buttons on the back door.

 

I have see the RS models that had the power tailgate in previous years.  Not the denali?

You can change in vehicle settings what the button does on the handle you can set it to unlock all the doors at once that's the way I have mine

i want to NOT go to the front door first guys.  I should have to with an 80,000 truck.  The back doors should have a button to open them its 2023

My previous response was because I also thought we were discussing unlocking from the inside.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      If everything checks out at the MAF, then the MAF is BAD, new or not.   You don't need a signal generator to troubleshoot this. PCM needs ALL powers and ALL grounds able to light a halogen headlight bulb - if it can light the bulb bright, then the wiring is good enough to run the PCM.   Best thing you can do for yourself is spend some time here: scannerdanner.com - Check out all his YouTube videos on similar issues. If you decide to subscribe it's the best bang-for-buck ratio in the automotive world, hands-down. He's got TONS of free vids on YouTube, too.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      Yes, I used my multimeter to probe all of the wires at the MAF, both with the sensor connected, sensor disconnected, key on engine off, key on engine running, etc etc etc. I probed all of the wires again at the PCM, at the connectors, etc. All voltages are what they should be according to the service manual/wiring diagrams. All grounds are good, less than 20 millivolts from the battery negative under load. Both at the connector of the MAF, at the PCM connector etc.      I know this throws a pretty big wrench into things, but this truck was acting up before the swap. I don't have very much information, if any on what was causing it, but if you cleared all of the dtcs it would do the same thing where it would crank, fire, then die. And it would do the same thing a dozen or so times, and eventually it would start and run, but the difference is that it would run and actually be drivable. Whereas now if you can drive it at all, it goes into reduced power mode almost immediately, and even then it's not running correctly. When you come to a stop at a light it stumbles down to for 500 RPM before catching itself and returning to the smooth idle. And if you go more than about 50% throttle then it immediately goes back to doing the misfire thing.    Like I said, I know that throws a wrench into things, and unfortunately I was not able to pull any data or anything like that before I did this work, so I don't have much to go on.    I'm trying to not fixate on one particular thing as the cause of the problem, but it seems like all avenues are pointing me towards the PCM. Like I said I have tested the wiring extensively (see above), and during cranking the sensor does produce seemingly legitimate values at least according to my multimeter, but as soon as the engine fires those values quickly descend into gibberish. I've tried it with multiple different known working sensors, I have done literally every test I can think of multiple times on the wiring (probing the signals, probing the pins with the sensors unplugged, probing the pins at the PCM, voltage drop, voltage drop under load, continuity, ohms, and double-checking everything against the wiring diagrams/ proper values in the service data.)    Another thing that pushes me towards a possible PCM failure is, I have noticed in troubleshooting a little bit taking a break and coming back, that when I leave the truck to sit for a while and cool off, it starts and runs smoothly when I first start it up. However once it warms up. It starts having problems. For example, when I went out to the truck this morning after it had been sitting overnight, I was actually able to drive it down the block. And then once I got on the throttle a Little bit after going about a thousand ft, it started misfiring again. I pulled it back into the driveway, shut it down, and started it back up. It idled smoothly. As soon as I touched the throttle it did the misfire thing again. From then on as soon as I started it it would misfire. I shut the truck off and went to go get a coffee and do a bit more research. When I came back out I started the truck up and it immediately went into the smooth idle. After a couple of minutes of playing around with it, it would not idle smoothly anymore. Let it sit a couple of hours, rinse and repeat. This makes me think with temperature change something is going wrong inside the PCM. I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle and I'm thinking of getting a one-day subscription to the ACDelco programming service to try and program that and see if it helps.   Like I said, I'm really trying to not fixate myself on one potential cause, but it seems everything is pointing me towards PCM failure. I would really like to try to confirm that, but unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope or a signal generator to do the GM service procedure where you feed 5 khz into the signal pin.

      Ahh, sorry about that - I got some bad info. Newdude is correct. That's what I get for working 13 hours straight ... on my "vacation", lol.   Should've checked the files I had instead of the internet.   Anyway ... this is GREAT news, since this would've been an absolute friggin nightmare to get working.   I don't think the lack of VVT is causing this - you've got another issue. Wiring, I'm betting.   I'm telling you right now, your computer isn't bad. If it worked before the swap, it's working now. You need to do some more (better) diagnostics and figure out exactly what you're missing. Did you test every wire directly at the MAF? Have 5V reference? Ground? If you're reading ZERO g/s, your Hz isn't much use - it's going to be the wrong value anyway. The MAF is not working, and you need to find out WHY.   I got this off the net, so VERIFY first: Pin A: Black (BLK) wire, Circuit 552, serves as the Sensor Return (Ground).  Pin B: Tan (TAN) wire, Circuit 472, carries the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) signal.  Pin C: Yellow (YEL) wire, Circuit 492, is the primary MAF Sensor Signal output to the PCM. Pin D: Pink (PNK) wire, Circuit 339 or 539, provides Ignition 1 Voltage (Power).  Pin E: Tan/Black wire, Circuit 552 or similar, often associated with the Intake Air Temperature ground or signal return.  Global-A list: https://postimg.cc/KKJnQC85

      Correct....the end user can't reach to Realtruck directly like they can if they purchase a Bak, Undercover, etc...  It has to go through a dealer.
