That's a great price! The black handle on ebay is about $60.

Make sure you get the 4mm machine screws 2 about 1/2 inch. .

Found a great price on the handle.

Let us know how your install goes and if the dealer reprogramming of the radio goes smoothly. If you get any sort of bill code or something on that part please pass along as it wouldn't surprise me if some dealers say they can't reprogram it.

I tried this on my 2015 3500HD and it didn't work. I had to get an aftermarket camera with wiring all the way to the HMI to make it work. So my new, unused, black tailgate handle with camera is for sale. I bought it at my local GM dealer and they wouldn't take it back. Part #'s 22803702 and 23156952. I paid $228.29. I'll let it go for $200 shipped (or local pickup in NJ).

That is disappointing. What was the issue that it didn't work?

The connection was there behind the bumper, but the wiring was not. So when the camera was plugged in nothing happened. My HMI was programmed for a camera since the lines showed up for a second when putting in reverse, then the "service rear camera system" message popped up. After connecting the aftermarket camera it worked with no flashing or programming. I assume it's because it's a 3500 and all of you having success have 1500's.

Installed the new handle with the camera yesterday it took about 15 minutes. The hardest part was getting the wiring through the hole in the tailgate! Going to my dealer Thursday to get the Hmi programed hopefully they know what needs to be done! If anyone has any pointers for my gm dealer let me know, or should order the pre programed Hmi ?? Thanks in advance for any help :)

Mjj, I went to a dealer today and they have no clue on programming! Called a different dealer and they think they might be able to get it done, but I dont have the time. So I will be ordering a programed Hmi. . Will let you know when I have a update

You need to have the VCO rewritten. As I understood the explanation, this changes the VIN to have it indicate the vehicle is now equipped with a reverse camera.

 

I installed the camera and handle myself, plugged it into the existing wiring on the truck via the plug at the rear junction box. Then I took my truck to my mechanic, who after some tinkering and searching through the computer, figured out he needed to have the VCO rewritten. Once he called them (AC Delco I believe) they performed a VCO rewrite and the VIN had been updated. My mechanic then updated the HMI and the truck accepted the camera. As soon as he put it in reverse, the screen turned on and the reverse camera worked.

 

I have a 2015 Chevy 1500 LT, 4.2" Screen (IO4), Crew Cab 4x4, 5.3 Ecotech.

 

No special modules purchased. No send off for programming. As I understand it, my VIN has been permanently changed to reflect the truck having a reverse camera, and as such no amount of dealer reprogramming will change it.

 

Hope this helps.

The rewrite makes sense but the dealers here in nys are lazy, I was given a sheet of paper with gm phone numbers. But maybe this will help everyone! Thanks

Thanks both of you for the info. I'll give my dealer a call and hopefully verify they understand what to do before I actually buy the camera. Then hopefully get it done probably at the same time as my first oil change which should be needed within a month.

Received a reprogrammed hmi today but I'm not sure if there's a installation procedure? I'm waiting for the directions to be emailed or text to me.

I wasn't sure what an HMI was so I did some searching. Seems like a lot of people are getting them reprogrammed to do stuff like we are wanting to do. From what I understand it's located behind the glove box. And apparently the vehicle will not run if there is not an HMI installed. That seems ridiculous to me.

 

Where did you buy your HMI from?

 

I hope your install goes well. Keep us posted.

      I thought I was building a HD 3500 srw, maybe I was lost.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      No doubt, I definitely agree with you. However, considering the 6.2 and 3.0 have been catastrophically failing with very little miles, I figured I would put trouble free. I’m at 18,4xx and still not a single issue.

      It’s never dry here but it gets hot. My 4 vehicles I keep at home drive an 18 mile loop. One 6 days a week. Two about 3 days each and one once a month. Only one goes on trips about 4 times a year 1000 to 2000 miles each time. One 26 years old gets driven once a month for 22 years. One 14 years old goes 6 days a week. The other two are recent at 2 and 4 years. All are performing normal no extra service other than that would be half of recommended or severe service in the maintenance manual. No extra water or steam out the exhaust or premature plug wear. I would consider an 18 mile loop would be enough. So apparently once a month at 18 miles for 22 years has kept the collector car running well. About 45 minutes a month.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By newdude · Posted

      It is working as designed.  NHT and non NHT trucks have the same exact transmission cooling setup.  NHT just gets a larger radiator.     The transmission cooler loop on these is as follows.     -Transmission out goes into an oil to water heat exchanger (item #1 in the first illustration below).  This exchanger has engine coolant opposite the transmission fluid and uses engine coolant to warm and then regulate the transmission fluid temperature when its in the operating window.   - From the cooler it goes to a thermal bypass valve (item #11 in the 2nd illustration below).  If the ATF has not reached the temp to open the bypass (194F), it loops back.   - When it reaches 194F, the thermostat opens and ATF then flows out to the oil to air auxiliary cooler (item #17 in the 2nd illustration) at the front of the truck.  From there it goes back to the transmission.     Your only fix would be to swap for the PPE thermal bypass delete block which will open the loop to the aux cooler all the time.  It will STILL run warm, probably 170-200F, but that's as low as you'll get it as its still flowing through the oil to water exchanger.

      Most say the oil temperature needs to above the boiling point of water to rid it of moisture and long enough to dry it. Many think that is about a hour at 212 F or more. Those people have never line dried cloths in a Midwest winter. Leave a pan of water sitting on the counter and eventually it all evaporates. So heat drives the time it takes. Water in oil under 175 F, the Nitration initiation temperature, is a minimum then for temperature and samples I've done that use Karl Fisher method say about a hour (in a healthy well tuned motor) over 175 F will dry it to under 800 ppm. Low enough to not be much of a factor. Motors with weak rings will take longer and the colder the air temperature the longer it takes.   On a cold motor there is also the condensation temperature. Blowby gases that contain moisture are subject to that cold cylinder wall, like sweat on a glass of ice tea. But also subject to the Law of Partial Pressures. Wear studies by GM and the DOD  indicate wear is a real issue below 85 F and a concern to 140 F but doesn't become a minimal factor until about 160 F. You know this intuitively when you see water vapor exit the exhaust pipe until the system gets above the dew point. It isn't magic, it's physics and it fascinates me. I know you didn't ask but....I over share sometimes. 😉    You keep the Camaro's high and tight.
