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.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months. I'm taking this truck home.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rebuild service, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.

      Typically it is the Torque Converter, I have a 2.7L Trail Boss and between 25-65 MPH at 1300-1500 rpms under light throttle it has a shudder which I almost consider and bobble or a gargle sound. They replaced my TC but it did not help any, others say it has fixed their issues. It has been back twice now with no fix after.
