Tailgate
You can open the
tailgate by lifting up
on its handle while
pulling the tailgate
toward you.
To shut the tailgate, firmly push it away from you into the latch.
When you put the tailgate back up, pull it back toward you, to be sure that it
latches securely.
Tailgate Removal
The tailgate on your vehicle can be removed to allow for different loading
situations. Although the tailgate can be removed without assistance, you
may want someone to assist you with the removal to avoid possible finish
damage.
To remove the tailgate:
Raise the tailgate slightly and
release both
retaining cable
clips. To release
the cable clips,
lift the cable so it
points straight out
and push the
cable clips forward.

at a slight upward
angle,
pull back
on the tailgate at
the right edge and
then move the
tailgate to the
right,
to release
the left edge.
Reverse
the above procedure to re-install. Make sure the tailgate is secure.
Door Locks
A CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers
- especially children - can easily open the doors
and fall out. When a door is locked, the inside handle won’t open
it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked door when you
slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You increase the chance of being
thrown out
of the vehicle in a crash if the doors aren’t locked.
Wear safety belts properly, lock your doors, and
you will be far
better
off whenever you drive your vehicle.

Center High Mount Stop Lamp (CHMSL)
I window.
If equipment such as a cap or camper is installed, your Center High Mount
Stoplamp (CHMSL) will no longer be visible from behind. You should
select a cap or camper with a CHMSL on it or, if one is not available, have
one installed. See your GM dealer about how to connect your vehicle’s
wiring to a cap or camper CHMSL.
Camper Wiring Harness (Option)
An optional 5-wire harness is stored in the front stake pocket on the driver’s
side of the bed. The harness has
no connector, and should be wired by a
qualified electrical technician.
It must be routed out of your vehicle and securely attached so that it won’t
be pulled or rubbed while you’re using it.
Store the harness
in its original position. Wrap the harness together and tie it
neatly so it won’t be damaged.
If a camper is installed, your Center High Mount Stoplamp (CHMSL) will
no longer be visible from behind. You should select a camper with a
CHMSL on
it or, if one is not available, have one installed. See your GM
dealer about how to connect your vehicle’s wiring to a camper CHMSL.
Trailer Wiring Harness
7-wire harness is stored under your vehicle along the rear frame
crossmember. The harness connects to the underhood electrical center and
no connector, and should be wired by a qualified electrical technician.
Securely attach the harness to the trailer, then tape or strap it to your
vehicle’s frame rail. Be sure
you leave it loose enough so the wiring won’t
bind or break when turning with the trailer, but
not so loose that it drags on
the ground.
