Alright finally had time to work on this MOD to start off when installing the camera on the 3rd brake light I went oversized on the diameter my mistake. Next when bonding the camera to the light try to use a thick adhesive instead of using crazy glue this will help the camera sit more securely. I bought a 3rd brake light from offer up for 20 dollars OEM which I used as a mock up. Overall I like the MOD at the end I sealed the hole with black RTV to cover the oversized diameter I will attach photos let me know if y’all have any questions I’ll be more than gladly to help.

Gents we are all entitled to what we like however I went on and got the alpine ilx-f511 and oh boy it’s beautiful y’all can take a look it it I’ll add some pics. Also you can retain all of your onstar features and steering wheel controls including your back up camera.

Alright I’m back, so after this past week since I had dropped the transmission oil pan and flushing out the trans fluid this was done Monday today is Friday I drove my truck longer meaning 30+ miles far more than the usual. I started to notice the jerking is almost literally gone I haven’t felt the low speed jerk anymore so I truly hope that the transmission fluid did the job. I will continue to update everyone here. ( last service was done on a jiffy lube which I think they used the incorrect fluid on my transmission).

Yes no onstar button I got rid of my onstar when I upgraded my stereo head unit.

Quick update on my end I have already installed my mirror and ran power I just need to route my camera and drill the hole I’m expecting to finish possibly next weekend since we’re going to be getting some rain these upcoming days.

Quick update not the front driveshaft. I also dropped the pan on transmission and oil was clean no flakes or glittery looking fluid pan was clean no shavings. At this point don’t know what it is I plan on doing my front diff service this weekend, and re torquing my suspension as well.

First and foremost is it a 6 speed or 8 speed transmission also when was the last time you serviced your transmission. Also another thing to look for is your u joints on your driveshaft they are known to go bad and cause shudder/ chevy shake. I am currently experiencing something similar to what you are I have 74000 miles and I have once already rebuild the transmission. Tomorrow I will be taking my truck to a driveshaft shop to see if my shudder goes away. Upon inspection of u joints I moved my rear driveshaft seemed solid however the front one you could move it up and down side to side hopefully that’s my issue I will keep you updated. Also my transmission fluid is still good and currently have a trans cooler.

Very rare when I do mostly in 2Hi, would you think it might be my U Joints? Since I only drive it in 2Hi? Would you think any type of runout or wiggle would transfer over even though it’s on 2nd?

I as well didn’t do anything when replaced my batter however make sure you connect all wires to the battery terminal. I doubt you need and reprogramming.

Quick update this morning I went under the truck and discovered that the front driveshaft moves replacing the u points this Monday hopefully this will solve the jumping issue I will keep the group advised thanks.

Good evening today after work I was going to turn on my truck and I saw I had the reduce engine power sign on the dash with the check engine light, now I got my scanner and looked up the code P2101 it’s the throttle actuator, now gentlemen do y’all think this is all linked to a faulty throttle body (Throttle position sensor)? Let me know what y’all think thanks again.

Thank you so much for sharing that information I will definitely look out on how I do the hole. Let me know once the installation is complete to check it out. Thanks

Thank you so much I now have a weekend project. I’ll keep y’all updated once complete thank you.

I just came back from a drive as I was going down from a steep driveway the truck made a really bad grinding noise coming from the front of the truck I thought I was dragging a shopping cart but I wasn’t I really do think my transmission is going out I have no choice but to rebuild it at this point.

Thank you so much by the way I’m one of the 2 needing help from your YouTube comment lol appreciate the support.
