How did you get in?

ONly a single battery on 2022 6.6L diesel with dual alternators.

The 2022 version of the Denali 3500 HD does NOT have any 3500 badges on it. Has anyone added one and can you post a picture of where you put it? Looking for ideas.

Does anyone have pictures of 2020+ 3500 upgrade? I just want to add 2 a note and one f note to match the existing f.

Would like tot be able to keep the battery charged while the truck is on but not running for wifi usage. Is there a way to do this? A maintainer will not work. SHort of adding a second battery and isolating the operating battery, I don't see how?

The taller the tire, the more roll when trailer sway starts unless you go up significantly in side wall ply numbers. This is why the exploder did a lot of roll overs even without being higher, the rims literally rolled over the tire side walls in emergency maneuvers.. The taller the truck the more body roll when when the rear end gets torqued around when a trailer sways - standard physics. Do both and it's a recipe for big problems. . What you have sounds very similar to the truck in this video . It takes less than 6 seconds for this to occur. Side note, fifth wheel trailers are supposed a lot better for trailer sway, didn't help this guy.

Anyone tow a large travel trailer with and without the sway bar? DOes it dramatically help with towing?

I have looked everywhere. I think this will be like the trailer cameras. There is one brand that will work, no others. I think the suggestion to use a snap on mirror with another camera will be the most reasonable in cost and least disruptive to the truck The trailer camera is almost $500. Here is one that is a backup camera - i don't think a fisheye will work for a rearview mirror image. https://www.actiontrucks.com/product-detail/RVS-915-04/jason-cap-third-brake-light-rear-view-camera

Press and hold the start button for more than 5 seconds and it will go into diagnostics mode, You can get out and lock the doors and it won't shut off - I tested for 25 minutes. Someone said a 6 Amp maintainer did not stop the battery from dying if left on a long time. Another said a 15 amp charger kept it up. Anyone know how many amps the truck pulls in Diagnostic mode? I'd like to use a minimum amp charger. Will a charger cause any other problems with the key on? BE SURE TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF from auto. Press start again to shut it off.

2020 Silverado with push button start - I was able to open the doors exit and lock the doors and it stayed on. It did NOT time out and shut off after 20 minutes.. On to step 2 - rigging a charger will enough amperage to keep the battery up. Anyone know what the amp draw is in accessory or Service Mode? Does anyone know if the trailer maintainer in a trailer will keep the truck charged on a 2020?

Following an checking into options. The rear view mirror camera is the one I want as well. Ideally, I'd like to get a high resultion camera that can connect to the one of the two camera leads at the back of my 2020 intended for a rear trailer camera. If it also showed through the mirror, that would be the ultimate. There are two plugs the other intended for inside a trailer. ANyone know about these plugs?
