Hey Matt_88, once we made some modifications, it all worked fabulous. We had to take a picture of the tag on the tailgate wiring harness and give it to the service tech - he was able to find that part and order it. We also had to order another OEM tailgate camera to avoid taking the one out of the tailgate. We used the new harness to McGuyver the solution. The truck end of the harness was cut and used to close the connection on the truck so that dirt wouldn't damage that connection end. The camera end was used to wire the new camera and plug into the camera outlet at the tailgate end. We then (temp solution) created a holder under the steps of the NL and zip tied the camera and new harness piece (not ideal, but we wanted to get out and travel). This allowed all of the cameras to work correctly. If the cameras don't work, the navigation screen displays an error each time you use your blinker and it requires driver interaction to resume navigation. We became habituated to unplugging the camper from the truck each night (or long stop) to resolve the camper lights from blinking every 10 seconds. This also saved some battery drain from the camper to the truck (we replaced the batteries in the camper with Lithium). Hubs is working on adding more solar as I type - we'll end up with 360 watts on the top. We added torklift stableloads to the upper and lower springs - made driving the rig a dream. We drove through some pretty good winds, no drama. Congratulations on your new NL! We love ours - just spent 6 weeks breaking it in.

DItto on the camera issue with 2020 Silverado 3500 High Country when the tailgate is removed. Made a separate post and then found this one. My dealer provided me with the same two part numbers. Their parts guy said the Wiring Harness #84679989 was no longer available and discontinued. I'm sure I have LED lights on my new Northern Lite Slide in so can't wait to get to that problem. The list of problems buying this truck never stop: 1) Dealer said it was good for a slide in camper. Glovebox sticker said otherwise. Dealer finally added the F60 torsion bars and that got us a 2925 lb rating. 2) Truck bed was too high to tow our 5th wheel level. Trailer couldn't be raised any higher so we had to buy a new lower hitch and now travels 2 inches nose high with less than 5 inches btwn overhang and bedrails. Sucks for off pavement. 3) Now the camera issue. Then the light flicker. This is our 3rd Duramax. The 2003 was great. The 2009 became a shop queen - brakes, injectors, transmission control module, turbo.... We've had this truck a month. And it might be our last GM product ever.

None of the cameras work after pulling the power tailgate. Pulled the tailgate to load a slide in truck camper. Had to disconnect the power for the power tailgate and the camera plug for the tailgate camera. Looks like I need to find something to plug back into the tailgate camera plug in order to complete the circuit for the camera system. I found a GM generic camera part number 84676845 but it's the camera only, no wire connection. Checked some audio vid places but their plugs don't match the GM connection above the spare tire. Pic # 1 is the power plug (black) and camera plug (white) from the tailgate. Pic 2 is the white camera plug desperately looking for a new plug mate. Any thoughts???

Thank you SO very much MTU Alum! I'm feeling comfortable now keeping the vehicle - the dealer is adding the torsion bars on Tuesday! You are a great source of information - thank you for responding so quickly too!

Thanks #IworkforGM. Another question if you can please. We made a mistake and bought a High Country from the dealer not knowing it was NOT rated for a Slide in Camper. Now we're working w/ dealer to add either the VYU or F60 to our 2020 3500 HD crew cab long box Duramax High Country. This is so we can add a slide in camper. I read you say that we still won't get a glove box sticker from GM. But what we would need after the mod, is the new Cargo Weight Rating and Dimensions A and B. Would the dealer be able to provide those? Or how would we figure those out?? Thanks again.

New 2020 Silverado High Country 3500 - glove box sticker says 'should not be used to carry a slide in camper' - dealer cannot tell me why.... does anyone know why?
