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.

Hello and good morning I have a question about my 2024 2500HD I have a tailgate light strip that goes between the bumper and the tailgate my truck has the automatic down and automatic up feature on the passenger side there is a bolt that goes through where you raise the to to 35 or 45 degrees to lift it out of the cradle I have removed the gates off of my 2019 and 2022hd is there any difference with this automatic gate that my other trucks did not have

Thank You for any information

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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
