Hey gang, just wanted to do a quick post about the tailgate removal on a 2024 HD and the camera. There has been a lot of posts and comments about how on the 2020-2023’s that if you removed the tailgate you killed the other cameras too. There were some workarounds with different wiring harness, etc. but the frustration was there. I just removed the tailgate on my 2024 GMC AT4 with the 360 and the other cameras continued to work. I also plugged in a camera relocation kit from Camera Source a couple of days later to restore my rear-view camera with my slide-in camper installed. Just thought I would mention it’s been fixed, not sure if it was done before this but based on the posts I saw I didn’t think so.  Also, and this may be obvious to other folks but 3 of us missed it, to remove the tailgate, rotate to about 45 degrees to get the right side out and then rotate back up to almost 90 degrees to get the left side out. We kept pulling on it at 45 degrees until an online video pointed out to us the correct way.

David ;  Thanks for the info. I have a 3rd. Brake Light Camera Re-Location kit on the way from Camera Source. (very impressive product offerings they have).  My'24 HD just had a Leer Cap installed, that blocks this OEM camera.  With the trailer view option, did not want to loose the panoramic views available in the rear view Mirror LCD display.

 

The bumper 7 way trailer connector with dual camera receptacles. ( One post said loosing the 4-way Flat in the bumper a PIA).

Several mfg's like Drawtite, Hopkins & others, have a 7 to 4 way plug adapter available everywhere.  To run a flat 4 way small trailer cable & plug, under the tailgate to the bed 7/4 way, yea.....

Is there a dust cover now or do we still need to purchase one, looks like camera source has a dust cover that should work.  Thanks so much for posting this information, just about to pull my tailgate from my 2024 AT4.

Mine didn't come with a dust cover, I just spray contact cleaner on the connector before I re-connect the tailgate, I'm sure the dust cover would be a better option.

I don't know about the other trucks, but with this truck you have to disconnect a power cable that goes to the tailgate and you must disconnect a camera table. The power cable is a wide connector that you rotate a grey bar rearward to unlock after moving the red switch to the open position and the camera cable also has red switch you move to open and then just pull it off. The light bar is probably connected to your trailer connector so I wouldn't think it would factor in. I find it easier to lower the spare tire before disconnecting the power cable but you don't have to if you're flexible enough. 

As far as lifting it off, you first rotate to the 45 degree position to free the right side and then rotate back almost completely closed and tug in the direction towards the passenger side to free the left side and then it's disconnected. The power cable and camera cable are fed through a pretty large hole so it's pretty easy to pull those out once you free the tailgate. Of course you've disconnected the cables before you disconnect the tailgate.

I am concerned about the nut and bolt on the passenger side that looks like it goes through the shaft I am thinking the is might be spring loaded to assist with the auto close I have removed my 2022 gate and I don't remember that bolt and nut on the passenger side

I have a question for the group 2025 GMC I want to haul a 2025 Artic fox camper tailgate I'm assuming has to come off which will interfere with camera systems on these trucks . The camper has a backup camera on it . 
does it work with the 7 way plug ? And will all the cameras still work other than the tailgate camera when I disconnect.

I replied to this back in April via the email prompt but I guess it didn't post for some reason. It most likely won't work. The 360 camera system uses a fiber optic connection to the camera and you will most likely have to replace with a compatible setup.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.
