Hello All!  I do apologize if this has already been tackled.   I did do a cursory search and could not find this in the HD forum at the very least. 


We were able to finally able to pick up our 2020 GMC AT4 HD 3500 this past Saturday.  Everything with the back-up camera seemed normal the first few time we back-up up.   Then, I’m unsure if I did something messing with the setting or jostling thru the different camera views or what...but now the camera, when you go into reverse looks like this!   It is all skewed and stretched.  
 

Has anyone seen this before1. Figured I would approach y’all before spending the time going back to the dealership!

 

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, Thank you!.

Totally normal wide angle lens view.  My biggest gripe is that the lines don't exactly show you where you're going.  They were spot on in my Colorado, but in the 2500 they're more annoying than useful.  Dealership said there is no way to adjust it, and I haven't found anyone that can either.  Maybe someone out there knows a trick?

I would like to say too that it is normal!  But I know it worked as my 2015 Denali HD that I traded in when we first picked it up and came home.  That was this past Saturday.  Sunday is when we noticed this, when we went out and about to put a few miles on her, we got home, backed in as we always do...that was the image we got.  Its really weird and disorienting!

I'm having the same issue with the lines being completely off (by feet) when backing up with the wheels cut.  Appears they used the 1500 programming and the HD has a longer wheelbase so you end up 3-5 feet off of where the lines started to send you.  My dealer is "looking into it" with GM engineers, but don't have a solution yet.

I figured it was calibrated for another truck.  So dumb.

 

If you hear anything about a fix please please please post it here.  This is literally my biggest gripe with this truck.

Mine looks nothing like that - I have a normal view without any distortion. Yours looks like it is combining the hitch view with the back up camera giving a strange view...Is it a setting or view that you might have toggled to???

I just checked, and mine looks normal with the split screen (surround view on left side).  If I remove the split screen, the rear view is distorted - system stretches the image to fit the scree.

FYI to others - there was an OTA update for infotainment that got installed on my truck a few days ago.  Seems to have fixed the camera issue.  Haven't tried hitch mode yet, but regular mode has the lines in a much better location.  They're also slight different - thinner than they showed before.

      Differential covers

      By RJL1 · Posted

      I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob

      Ac not keeping up

      Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      By Another JR · Posted

      Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.

      There are a lot of spammer's that do that, quote something and add some commentary to make it seem legit, but modify the quoted text a bunch making sure when posted it's long enough to be "click to expand", and either immediately insert a spam link, or come back after some time and edit it to add the spam link.

      Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
