There were two plugs mentioned and shown in pics on page 2.  The plug JoeD49 asked about (circled in the pic he posted above) is for the trailer TPMS receiver.  There is a round plug behind the bumper

Yes, possibly. Would be the male version of the one on the bottom.

On a side note, I do have this weird green round plug back behind the trailer plugs... not sure what that is for.

Does your truck have trailer view camera option?

As mentioned earlier, might be the Trailer Tire Pressure sensor....  I have 2 boxes plugged in back there....

I’m still trying to figure out how GM is using made in China, Mexico and now just spotted made in UK. Lol, our trucks have become the Melting Pots

I case anyone is wondering, the part from UK, on the right, is indeed the TPMS sensor for the trailer.  The China made one across the middle is the keyless remote entry antenna.....  

 

Google is cool.

Nope  - Could that be a camera connection?

 

I would say it is the coax for the trailer view.

Confirmed that is the trailer camera plug.  I bought the trailer camera port & plugged it in, hoping the dealer could program it to work, but apparently even though the wiring is there, dealer can not add the camera package after the fact...pretty disappointing.

Dealer needs to use the proper words... they say "cannot" what they really mean is "don't want to"   :)

 

This is interesting - so if they provided the wire for the trailer camera, then they probably have the wiring in the front doors/mirrors for the side view cameras. just need to figure out is WAMS or somebody can re-program for us :)

haha correct... They did say they technically could, though it would require an entire new radio & wiring harness, video module, etc...  I was pretty interested in having them add this so i pushed them for a quote & they said it could be 3 - 5 thousand dollars!  long story short, get the $ 295 trailer camera package when ordering the truck if you want these features...

 

And yes, i took my mirrors apart to change the caps to colour matched & looks like the plug is in the mirror as well, at least on my truck..

I'm willing to bet a lot of that is smoke and mirrors (pun sort of intended) - If one end of the wiring is there, why wouldn't the other end be there? :)  I think it is purely a SW change....

 

The one wire that is probably *not* there on the SLT is the front Camera wire - it is my understanding that the unit can only support 3 camera - 2 sides/trailer....  

 

Now if that wire is there, I would totally be willing to give up the trailer connection for the front view.....

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.
