Wait, where has Jesse gone?

Anyways....buy a moongoose cable on amazon and keep it. Worth the money imo. My truck was in the same boat as yours its well worth the money to update it.

Luckily my dealer fixed my issue following TSB 25-2048. Mongoose cable going forward definitely seems like a worthwhile investment.

I looked at a Mongoose cable as just another mod done on my truck. Well worth it in the long run.

Last week I had these updates completed on my 2021 PB. Since then I need to press the tailgate button - the one on the tailgate - twice for it to open. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

I am pretty sure they changed it and made it that way with an update a while ago. There may be a way to change it with FORScan.....not sure, tbh.

Since I receive few OTAs that would explain it, although since you have to press a button on the tailgate I see no reason for it.

The Durametric in my box is evidence I don’t scoff at expensive cables, so Mongoose isn’t out of the question, but if a ~$250 VCM3 clone does the trick, spending +$400 on a Mongoose doesn’t seem like a wise financial decision for me. Where have folks been ordering them from?
