OK, so I have a 2020 Chevy 3500HD.  I do not like having to string a cable from the rear of my 34' trailer to use the camera option.  From my understanding, the cable has a DC bias for the camera with

Just out of curiosity, dies any one know what it would take to make a trouble shooting cable

 that could be plugged into the trailer connector of the truck so it would think it had a trailer connected?

Maybe an incadesant bulb wired to the running between running light connector and ground?

don't know how much load it needs

Not sure if this is what you looking for or not...If you haven't ordered the truck yet...

 

"TRO - LPO, Auxiliary Trailer Camera wired, one camera and hardware, shipped loose for dealer or aftermarket installation, additional camera available as a GM Accessory (wire length is 59', [8m]) (Requires (UVN) Bed View Camera, (CWM) Technology Package or (CMT) Goose Neck/5th wheel package.)"

 

Included that on mine when ordered, but haven't received the truck yet so not sure if it will show up as specified yet or not...

 

Curious to see if any aftermarket cameras will work... hate to be restricted to GM's $350+ camera.

I bought the one listed above and haven’t installed it on the trailer yet. 

Did plugged it in just to make sure it connected ok.

had to plug in the trailer 7 way connector to get it to go into trailer mode to see it. 

Already had 3 Rear View safety wired cameras on the trailer but wasn’t sure how to get cable for monitor into the cab.

One day I’ll get them all hooked up and see what I like the best.

What plugs are being used / pre-wired? Some trailer cameras seem to have the old 's-video' pin connectors, some RCA plugs. Hard to tell what GMC is installing.

Bet someone makes an adapter somewhere...

 I have another question about adding the 2 auxiliary  rear outside and inside trailer cameras.  i have a 2020 LTZ with the premium package which includes the technology package with the HD surround vision w/ 2 camera provisions. when i add 2 of the cameras listed in the above posts do all of the other camera views still work as they do now, i'am confused because i  have seen some posts over in the 1500 section that they loose the front camera view when you have the technology pkg.  that doesn't seem right to me that the hd surround camera would include 2 extra auxiliary ports if it would change /disrupt the system in any way.

I only used one trailer camera but all other cameras worked as normal when selected. Only issue i had was using the transparent trailer view. there is a calibration that requires you to drive in a straight line under 30mph. it says at least 60' but mine took nearly a mile. while towing i lost the calibration several times when stopping for fuel and could not get it back at highway speeds.

Hey sdelam or anyone who has a camera for the GMC truck can you measure the OD of the plug. I have run 1/2" EMT conduit in the roof of my trailer. I utilized a generic standard RCA male and female connectors to see if it would fit. But looking at the pictures I am not sure. As you can see the is at the ramp end on my race car trailer. I also installed a pull cord (yellow).

 

Thanks

Trailer is in for repairs but the cord wont fit through a 1/2" conduit with the end attached. It has 2 "pull handles" attached to to the plug that are about an inch wide each set at 90 degrees from each other.

      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.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
