Has anyone tried to mount the camera with adhesive tape instead of putting holes in the back of your trailer?  Curious if it will hold with the rough ride of a travel trailer?  I’m going to install my camera this weekend. 

Yes, I installed mine with 3M automotive tape back in March with no issues so far. I also spun the camera around so the cable came straight out the bottom instead of looping over the top.

There are two systems that accept trailer cameras.  There is a base system where you just get bed camera, hitch camera, and two trailer camera inputs (UVI).  The uplevel system (UVS) has 360 deg camer

If the truck is calibrating, then the dimensions should be fine.  I would first look at the angle of your camera, it needs to be at 35 degrees (0 deg is straight down).  For calibration, you need to d

Thank you.  I ordered some 3m tape to try myself so your feedback makes me feel me feel better about the use.  I was thinking about a smaller diameter self tapping screw in addition to the tape but really would like to avoid holes in the back trailer wall. I plan to run my cables underneath too.

Yeah, there was no way I was going to drill a hole in the wall of my new travel trailer! Seems to work great, knock on wood....

Mine is held on the rear glass window with 3M tape.  I'm pretty sure it won't fall off and removing it would be a chore if I ever decided to do sol

I get the “Needs to be Calibrated” screen. Drove about 20 miles, but never got the Transparent Trailer view, just the split 3 camera view and the blind spot warning when I turn on the blinker. Any ideas how to get the Calibrating to finish properly? 2023 Denali 1500 with OEM GM trailer camera.

Attached a few photos.

Yes, I drove 25 mph but never saw a progress bar under Invisible Trailer view in Camera APP. I’ll remove the spare tire and see if that helps. If it works, can I return the spare, or should I use the time to relocate it somewhere else?

You can reinstall after calibration.  If you still have problems, you may want to change one dimension by an inch.  It sometimes doesn't like shadows, so may need to drive in opposite direction if you see a large shadow.  I hope this helps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
