I recently purchased a used 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation Edition with option code IOB keyless entry.  I did not have two options that I really wanted; remote start (Ohio) and back-up camera.  I researched this forum and decided to get it installed.  I wanted OEM.  I have been successful.  Let me fill you on how I accomplished this.  First I purchased the following from GM Parts House online;  remote start (22997089), back-up camera (84062896), and tailgate handle (84016231).  

 

I installed the the camera first.  I removed the old tailgate latch along with it's wiring.  There are several YouTube videos on how to do this.  I put the camera into the new handle with 2 screws (not included) and attached to tailgate plugging the two plugs into their appropriate places (keyless tailgate lock and the camera).  I ran the wire the same as the one I removed and plugged it into the same outlet as the other under the rear of the truck.  It helps to drop the spare to do this.  Done.

 

I installed the remote start next.  This was surprisingly easy.  Kit comes with hood latch, wire harness, two key fobs, and activation code.  I replaced the old hood latch with the new (remove large plastic cover, remove latch with two bolts, replace with new latch).  Next I was looking at how I would run the harness when I noticed a female plug lying right next to the latch (see picture).  The plug off the new latch mated right up with it.  How could I be so lucky after reading on here from others on how to run the new harness?  It was all there already installed!  I replaced the plastic cover and was done.

 

A few days later I got it into my local GMC dealership who flashed the radio computer to activate both the remote start and back-up camera and they worked!  All together with tax the dealership charged me $193 to do the programming.  I already had the activation code they needed for the remote start but they had to call TCSC to get one for the camera and the download they needed to flash computer with.  

 

All in all this was super painless and pretty affordable.  I now have these two options and am pretty happy.

Do you know if you can get a non-chrome tailgate handle with the camera? I’m only seeing chrome ones. 

 

Also, what screen do you have? I want to make sure I order the correct part number so that I’ll have the same results.

So the wiring already there worked? i have a 2018 custom and want to add factory remote start but i notice the factory hood latch already has a plug on it and its plugged in. Im wondering if they just run the wiring now and all i need to do is buy the kit for the fobs and code and head to the dealer for the flash since the hood hinge seems to be the same as pictured.

I apologize for not answering this question from so long ago. Obviously not been back on here.  Anyhow, for anyone doing this in the future, yes all the wiring was already in place, I have a black tailgate latch not chrome, and I do have the remote locking tailgate.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.

      Oil Consumption

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
