Zoom in under the bow tie, you can see the black little camera

There is a thread in this forum that has a discussion about this and additional reverse cameras etc; It has links to equipment etc. I want to add a front camera as well.

Very Nice, clean looking... Now that it is installed do you love the location or would you go lower or higher mounting location on the grill. Just curious.

The dealer actually mounted it under the bow tie at first and it was not the best spot at all!! I remounted it where it is at now and I can actually see my front bumper which is very crucial in the mounting of the camera that way you can actually judge how close you are to the object in front

Do you know if there is a kit for the 2015 as well. I don't see it on the accessory site.

 

- scratch that. I see it now. It looks like an aftermarket kit.

This has hit the top of my birthday wish list.  Thank you,  jmiller11331!  Do grid lines appear when you get close to an obstacle?

No grid lines.. but it is very useful and helpful the way it is!! I can't tell you how many times a day I use it!! It's a great investment

Anyone know if this would work on a 14? [emoji51]

Thinking about doing this myself with the alpine head unit at same time. 

Just wish this was a factory installed option from the get go like the fords. 

Say what you want but IMO gm always seems to be a generation behind when it comes to trucks.

I wouldn't consider GM trucks to be behind any competitor.  The consumer has a significant impact on what manufacturer's will include in their vehicles.  I chose my current truck largely due to the fact that it feels like I'm driving a truck, not a computer.

When it's all installed, just hold the back button on the infotainment system for 3 seconds and it switches to the front view and it will stay on the front camera until you hit the back button again!! What's cool is, you can drive with it on all the time

Does this interfere with the normal function of the back button?

Yes it's on the accessories website and it's $400 installed...I had a 20% off code and got everything for $300. Works amazing well and I am so happy with it

      Vehicle Payments

      By KARNUT · Posted

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
