I'm needing to get some wiring from inside the cab to the front of my truck. Is there a good place or way to get the wires either through the firewall or from underneath into the cab?

There are spots on both sides of the truck that go through the firewall. Open the hood and take a look, you’ll see the huge black rubber grommets with some nipples that can be used.

I need to wire a backup camera on my 2020 Silverado for my Lear Cap. Is there an opening in the floorboards? Routing wires to the rear vs front. Thanks.

I know there are some under the front seat carpet. Not sure about the rear but I’m gonna assume there are.

Just curious about your  need for a backup camera on your cap.

Is the tailgate camera insufficient for your needs or is there another reason for a second camera on the cap?

 

Thanks

Whew. I got the wires I needed into the cab on the passenger side where it shows in the video. Man was it a pain to get to. The 3.0 has a bunch of stuff shoved under the hood. I felt like I was standing on my head just to get to the spot.

 

Thanks for the help.

Getting a wire through a 2021 1500 Silverado LTZ Diesel requires removing the very heavy battery which necessitates removing the fuse plate from top of battery, be patient and take pictures. First remove ground cable and associated wires and insulate terminal, be careful not to touch battery terminal a second time or you will set of alarm. Remove the 6 cables and 2 clips from fuse holder plate, they are all marked and numbered, take picture to be safe. The plastic fuse holder has 2 clips on engine side that require inserting thin flat blade down to unhook, also one clip on fender side. Loosen positive battery post and finagle housing up till it comes off battery post. Tie all connector crack to air conditioner line. Undo 1 battery clamp and remove plastic lock plate.  You will need to tip battery on an angle to remove, it’s heave so lay a blanket or pad to protect plastic and paint. Behind battery on firewall you’ll see a boot with a small nipple boot beside it, cut a slit in end. I uses a thin fish tape and pushed it thru, there is a lot of stuff back there and tape will most likely hit something.  Take the felt panel off passenger side and look up with a light and you’ll see your fish tool, it was too tight to get my hand in so I used a coat hanger to snag fish tape while wife pushed from under hood. I was able to tie a string and tape my wire to fish tape. Pulled fish tape out, which pulled back wire and a string if I ever need more wire. Hope this helps someone else.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
