Did you ever figure this out. I’m trying to order a 2500 LT with the z71 sport package and the preferred package II and I’m running into the same problem. When I add the rear bed view camera (250$ option) it says it will remove the HD Rear vision camera. I’m wondering if this is a limitation on the LT’s where you can have one or the other but not both. 

To help you out the bed view camera sucks. Can’t see anything at night it’s black. Only stays in for maybe 5-6 seconds at a time. Depends what you use it fire but it’s a waste if you ask me

Thanks this is helpful. Still trying to figure out if it’s worth it or not on the LT. Like I said earlier if you add the bed view camera it removes the HD rear vision camera. Was hoping someone could chime in on the actual difference in the picture quality of the HD rear vision camera vs the non HD. 
I wish Chevy would let you add in the surround camera package on the LT like on the LTZ or HC. This is the only option I want from those trims

yeah if that’s the case then I have the non hd and it’s grainy. My wife’s Acadia Denali which is a 21 is much better. 
 

like I said that bedview doesn’t work at night and is grainy during the day and stays on like 6 seconds. Pointless if you ask me I got a Mirror

    • This is exactly the reason our EV has consumed so much of my driving. I don't want to fire up a cold diesel or gas engine just to drive 2 miles up to the store. It's arguably terrible for an engine. If I'm not driving at least 10 miles and don't need to do truck things, the truck stays parked.   Enter the EV. It's immediately heating or cooling the cabin as needed (heat pump). An engine doesn't need to warm up or be driven gently. I can tear off in it with ZERO guilt. Move the car 1/4 mile from store to store and not think "gee, I'm short-cycling a lukewarm engine".   It doesn't idle in a drive-through. Doesn't idle at stop lights. (OK, neither would the diesel, if I let stop-start have its way, but I don't).   Even moving it out of the garage to wash it... HA! It doesn't need to be started just to move 40 feet. I have cars that I will actually put in neutral and push (no start) in/out of the garage or shop if they absolutely HAVE to be moved. My nice Camaros.
    • Some trailer plugs don't work. This one worked for me. Been using it for two years no issues. Amazon.com: Reese Trailer Plug Adapter, 7-Way Male Plug to 7-Way Female Plug, LED Lamp Out By-Pass, Plastic, Black, Each : Automotive
    • Great video. I almost want to reserve one now.
    • I traced the atf cooling system in my 1500 and it comes out of the transmission, into the bar/plate liquid/liquid heat exchanger, as stated above.  Then it crosses over to the external thermostat/bypass and then  to the aux cooler in front of the main radiator.  Hence, on this routing, the PPE thermostat bypass eliminator is an $85 piece of bling that does nothing for reducing atf temps on this truck.  I think I'll temporarily clamp a needle nose vise grip on the coolant feed hose to the bar/plate cooler and see how much the atf temp drops.  With the use of ULV trans fluid, I'm not convinced running the trans cooler than OEM spec is going to be detrimental to the life of the transmission.    I found this interesting on the Dana/Long site stating that they make transmission cooling/heating bar plate heat exchangers.  I worked with Dana/Long on a few projects when I was at the gas powered fun factory. https://www.dana.co.jp/downloads/PTG/Long/Dana_TOC_SpecSht.pdf  Bar plate heat exchangers are just a stack of stamped parallel path fluid channels, assembled and vacuum furnace brazed to make the final assembly.  Want more cooling/heating, just stack more plates until you run out of package space.   Anyway, thanks for the info, much appreciated.
    • I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.
