Rearview camera relocation

Hi, 

 

We just picked up our 2020 1500 duramax at4. (Had to drive 600 miles to get one that had the features we wanted, but that's a different issue). We love the truck. We wanted the technology package for a number of reasons. The rearview video camera in the mirror wasn't something I was interested in until I actually used it. That's a really nice feature, which brings me to my question.

 

I plan to put a topper on it just like we did with our 2017. We have 2 very large dogs who travel in the back with us. I know many folks don't like the look of toppers, but to each his own. Has anyone figured out a way, or tried to relocate the camera on the back of the cab to the back of a topper? I'm wondering if I take it apart, its not just a few cables that I could potentially extend and then figure out a way to mount the camera on the back by the topper brake light. 

 

My topper dealer mentioned there's a 3rd party working on a kit, but can't seem to give me any further info.

I do not believe anyone has solved this issue. I suppose you could do a custom harness.

Though I doubt the see thru trailer feature would work as it isn't going to compensate for being 6 feet further back.

yeah. not that bothered about the trailering calibration. I just need to figure out how to get into this third brake light housing and go from there. If it just a harness of 2 or 3 wires, I'm going to test what extending the wiring harness would look like.

Hello David

 

I have the same question you have regarding the rear camera and a shell.  We just picked up our new AT4 in AR, driving from NC over the weekend to get the color and engine we wanted.  I want to put our dogs in a shell when they're with us, but don't want to lose the camera.

 

What manufacturers are you looking at for your shell/topper?  I can ask the same questions of the dealer here and maybe get them working on a solution.

 

Thanks!!

 

John

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the help!   I'm going to stop into the scales one of these days and weigh my axels, for the time being, I am going to run Toyo's recommendations and also do a chalk test. I have a tire shop that's going to try their scanner to reprogram and set the the factory psi values lower, and if they can't I'm going to order a scanner and do it myself!

      Exhaust Question

      You won’t do better than stock exhaust without headers. Just put your favorite muffler on it and it will do the job.

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.
