Hello,

 

I have the HD camera in back with two views (one straight down at the hitch and the normal one looking straight back.  While driving and selecting the rear view camera for a quick view, I am always stuck with looking at the camera pointing straight down at the hitch.  I can't seem to successfully select the camera looking straight back while moving forward for a quick look.  What am I doing wrong?

Thats the way it is. The hitch view will come up. Now if you have the trailering package on a 2020 model, different story.

Hmmm, somehow I was able to get the rear view camera to come up while moving once, but haven't been able to do so since.  Maybe the system has to detect that a trailer is hooked up....

I’m able to get the rear camera to come up while driving by bringing up the main menu (home button?)and there is a selection for camera (possibly need to scroll right to see it) and the rear camera pops up while driving. Now I just have a LT TB with just the back up camera on the tailgate so I’m sure others have other options.

I was able to do this once as well, but can no longer do so.  All I get now if the camera facing down at the hitch.  The other options are grayed out.

Mine allows me to do this in drive, but I have to be at a stop (i.e. at a light). If my truck is moving, I only get the hitch.

My truck shows the normal rear view while in motion. 

 

Maybe it is model and option specific that dictates the view of the camera?

I can view both while moving. I can switch between the hitch view and the rear view in motion for 8 seconds at a time. I get front view, rear bed view, tailgate rear and hitch.

Yeah I have the trailering  package and my son loves to use it in motion to see "who's at our six" Must be a difference in the HD and non HD camera package.

I wish it was a longer time (15-20 secs would be good) but I’m happy they provided some access while in motion.

It's kinda like that annoying warning that pops up and you have to hit ok. The timer is so you don't focus on whats behind you while running into whats in front of you.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.

      Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
