How to replace the tailgate bushings on a GMC Sierra.

Model: GMC Sierra MK 3 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Locking the trunk

Frequently using the tailgate of a GMC Sierra may cause difficulties in opening due to wear of some components. In this video we will therefore see how to replace the bushing. We open the tailgate, making sure we have a structure that supports it and disconnect the support cables as shown at minute 2: 55. Once the cables are disconnected, close the tailgate slightly while pulling it towards us: when we have reached the right angle the piece will flow out. At this point we can proceed by extracting the old bushing, sliding it outwards and inserting the new piece, as shown at 4: 10. Finally we insert the hatch again and hang up the cables.

The safe lock is indeed an anti-theft system that prevents thieves from accessing the car. This device locks the doors, both externally and internally, when the driver activates the central locking remote control after leaving the vehicle. To permanently disable it, it is necessary to use a diagnostic program such as VCDS that we will connect to the vehicle through the ODBII port. Then wait for the connection and recognition of the control unit and then select the blocks present and locate the safe lock to disable it. And the job will be completed.
