Random “Service front camera” warnings in good weather . Cleaned windshield. Removed camera, cleaned lens. Cleaned inside of windshield, checked wiring. All looks good. Camera is mounted nice and snug.

I bought it a year ago from the dealership. They took care of at least three recalls at that time. I would hope they took care of whatever else needed to be done.its worked without issue until a couple weeks ago

Just because it was updated a year ago when you bought it doesn't mean they haven't come out with updates since.

     I'm not suspecting a wiring problem either, but a schematic will show all of the components and references to locations of the components. Other than the camera, there has to be some sort of control module for this system. I have  gone through countless parts diagrams for this truck and cannot locate a control module or any sensors (radar or something) in the front grill area. Seems unlikely to me that ALL lane departure warning and forward collision alert functions are handled by the camera only.

  I have the option to either bring it to the dealership (root canals are faster and less painful) and be charged $100 -$125 /hour plus parts. The camera alone is over $400.00 plus car rental for each day that they have it. With a schematic, I have a high level of confidence that between myself and 9 other guys that I work with in an electrical engineering department here at work -we can tackle this -only if we had drawings to work with. I'm about to just purchase a set of repair manuals just to get the schematic. Paying the $450.00 for the repair manuals looks like an  economically sound decision vs. bringing the truck to the stealership.

Drop me a PM and I will see if I can come up with what you need.

I also out of the blue got a "service front camera" message and all functions associated are disabled. (collision alert, lane assist) I don't want to pay $400 for the camera myself either and what if that's not even the problem. Did anyone find any solutions or things to check before biting the bullet?

Bringing this back up, as I have the same problem in my 2018.  Taking it in this week, as it's still covered under factory warranty.  My service guy did say that he has seen non-GM aftermarket windshields cause an issue, although my truck is completely as it came from the factory - so not the problem here.  

 

However, I noticed today that a bird has apparently tried to build a nest behind my grill and in front of the radiator on passenger lower side.  I cleaned all that out, haven't checked to see if that corrected it yet, but there is some kind of sensor mounted low behind the grill on that side.  I too would like to know where and what the components of the system are.

My problem turned out to be a bad haptic seat motor. Go figure.

Closest that I've gotten to that, is my RED Light HUD flasher going off with NO ONE in front of me for well over a 1/4 mile.

Anybody got a part number for the front camera?  Dealership said front camera was indeed bad, but on backorder.  Been waiting for almost two months....  Wanna call some other dealers or look online to see if they really are on backorder before I complain.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
