Keeping this thread alive, as it is a good one. I just purchased a 3500 SLT loaded like a denali. Bought the tpms sensors for my prograde trailering system, thank you all for that. Question on the CAMs. How the heck is everyone running the wire? I guess there is no wireless option? I want to do the interior one in garage to watch my harleys and the rear to just see what's behind me.

I ran mine along the roof until the front cap, then ran it down the side and underneath to hook it up. A wire along the roof isn’t seen often and has a few mounting points with the A/C covers already in place to help the mounting pads.

For those who want transparent trailer to work on conventional trailers, I have attached the trailer camera install location.   Before purchasing the camera you may want to check this location on your

My dealer just checked today. The trailer TPMS is $150.00 per two. Quite abit more than if I would have ordered the four with the truck. Sorry I didn’t ask for part numbers.

There are buttons on the door handles. The running boards do not look as clean as the retracting ones on the 1500 but I dont mind them.

is there a update for the tpms for trailer tires that are at 110 psi? Thanks

Does anyone know what the factory trailer tire pressure sensors psi ratings are. I can’t seem to find it and I’m hesitant  to install them on my toy hauler that uses 110 psi. The ones that came with the truck don’t seem as heavy duty as the ones currently installed.

I was afraid of that. It seems even though we have big tow numbers the camera and tire sensors were set up for smaller trailers. Seems as though the trailer wire and camera connections should be reversed with the camera connections in the bed if you order 5th wheel hitch prep package

I received my camera today and started to plan my installation. I dismantled the camera to gain access to the smaller plug which was straight forward and easy to do.

The plug from the camera end will fit inside 1/2" non-metallic Ultratite from Home Depot which I will run along the bottom of my camper attaching to the gas line along the way with ty-wraps and likely up and into the battery bay thru the propane tank storage area. Not sure how I will handle getting it to the fifth wheel hitch yet until I can move the plug into the bed. The camera end will exit the Ultratite and run up along the trim to the top of the RV to the camera mounting on top of the roof.

I just received my camera kit. The installation looks pretty straight forward, however there were no instructions included. The camera placement is what I am most interested and mounting ideas.

If you have a conventional trailer and want transparent trailer view to work, the camera needs to be in the center of trailer 4 inches higher than your tailgate camera with the trailer attached.  Then once the camera is mounted, tilt the camera 35 degrees (zero is straight down).

Looks like a nice setup!  Please share final results once you are done!

Where are the instructions located that shows the dimensions you quoted.  I have searched and searched and can not find them. It looks like es2020hd is looking at some printed instructions.  Based on your measurements I will not be able to get the transparent view to work as the camera would interfere with an outside storage door.

Any way to "fool" the setup to get the invisible trailer to calibrate?  I have the camera on the back of my travel trailer, all measurements are in specs listed in the document and in the app.  The camera is mounted where the Furion mount is which according to others is too high to calibrate (won't calibrate here),  I have a rear window right in the middle of the back of the trailer so the camera would have to go above or below it which may be out of range in either situation.

Who has the specifics on where to mount the camera on the trailer for the transparent trailer view?

This where the camera needs to go for transparent to work.  You should have an inch or two flexibility in vertical direction if needed.

For those who want transparent trailer to work on conventional trailers, I have attached the trailer camera install location.   Before purchasing the camera you may want to check this location on your trailer and see if it will work.    You can mount the trailer camera in other locations but the transparent view will not be available.

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
