I was testing my AC plugs with my circuit tester and both show that there is no ground connection. My truck was in for the tailgate recall repair and I tested another truck on the showroom floor and it had proper grounding.
The repair shop stated that it does not have a ground and that is by design. I question why the showroom truck does show a proper ground when tested.
Has anyone else tested their outlets?

Technially no.. but my electrical tester shows there is no ground present. Dealership says that is by design but when testing another new truck on the lot it has proper grounding (so I know it is not my tester.. and not by design) Even with this evidence they say it is by design.
Was curious if anyone else has ever tested theirs and if a ground was detected. Apples to Apples mine should have a ground.

The ground prong on the AC outlet located in the bed of my truck is electrically the same (zero ohms between them) as the metal bolts on the tailgate.
Any AC outlet with a ground prong should have a valid/functional ground. Them saying it does not have a ground “by design” is a bit ridiculous.
Make sure you’re testing correctly (not meaning to insult your knowledge). The ground prong should be connected to the truck’s ground, not your house AC outlet ground or anything else. Again, not an insult, just making sure we’re on the same page. It’s easy to go astray with a simple misunderstanding.
Let me know, thanks! Kurt

And BTW, you may want to post this type of issue over on the Duramax forum (https://www.duramaxforum.com/). Much more active, many more participants that may be able to resolve these types of issues.
