    Gm has it to where you can open and close your back tailgate but moving your foot under it I don’t remember if it’s on the right or left side. But it’s intended for when you have your hands full u can click button to open manually u use your foot under the back bumper somewhere there’s a sensor and it opens

    Pretty sure that power tailgate has a sensor on the bottom of the rear bumper for you to use your foot to touch the bumper for it to open or close. It's meant to be used for when your hands are full loading or unloading the cargo area.

    There’s a sensor under the bumper that you can “kick” your foot and it’ll activate the tailgate opening or closing. At night time you can tell where it’s at because it will illuminate a Cadillac symbol on the ground and that’s where you “kick” your foot.

    2:30 if you pull down on the hatch, does it initiate self close? If so, maybe putting in the weight, like the tranny in the back, shook the car and made the hatch jiggle like you were pulling it down which initiated the self close feature?

    Just make sure when you drive this hog, put it manual shift mode and set it to either 5th gear if it’s a 6speed transmission or 9th gear if it’s a 10speed. This keeps the truck from going into 4 cylinder mode (afm) Which can prolong lifter life. You can also get a hand held tuner to permanently turn off the cylinder shut off but not approved yet to keep warranty. I have a 2019 truck in for a new engine because of the lifter failure. On the 2015 to current models. 1,4,6,7 cylinders have the special afm lifter/spring system, it send power to the solenoids to open and send oil pressure into the lifter to collapse the plunger, collapsed lifters will not engage the pushrods/not opening the valves for 4cylinder mode. It’s just a matter of when that shitty system fails. I’ve done about 10 engines this year already, yes you could replace the cam and lifter, but good luck. Parts are scarce.
