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. .

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 :)

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.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
