Can someone tell me how to open a tail gate when your power locks are dead. I have a 98 chevy blazer and the power locks on the tail gate just make a noise and do not unlock the tail gate. Both at the door and the button up front (in cab) will not allow me to open my tail gate. Door power locks work fine. I can't even de-skin the tail gate without opening the tail gate, which leave me no option for changing the malfunctioning lock motor Help please.........

  Oh, I see what you're saying now. The *combined* weight of everything being more than 2x the weight. The way you worded it made it seem like you were talking about the trailer itself being more than 2x the truck. At the end of the day, it's a figure of speech. Does anyone really not notice a big camper behind them or that notice being 0%? No, of course not.

  The weight of the truck is included in the weight that is being moved. A 9k trailer more than doubles the weight that the drivetrain and brakes need to move and stop (7k+9k)>14k. And yes changing lanes with a 36' sail certainly is different than an empty truck. I don't think my math or reading comprehension are problematic on this one

  I can't say specifically for those options, for your truck, but in general, the answer is no. While you can buy the parts, install them, wire them up, so everything is installed, the truck isn't programmed to respond to those buttons, so it doesn't. And GM doesn't allow/sell updated programming to make them work. For some specific things, such as side mirrors and occasionaly a few other things, GM will provide new programming to make them work, but SWC is not one of those things (at least that I'm aware of). You really want to buy the truck, with the options you want already built into the truck.

  Thanks! I think the batteries may be shot. The relearn process is pretty simple: ignition on, hold the lock and unlock buttons on the RKE for a few seconds, and the horn beeps twice to denote learning mode. I tried the 10 second deflate trick and just tried the TPMS learning tool I ordered last week. Nothing.
