I recently purchased a 2016 Silverado 1500 (High Country). When putting the vehicle in reverse, the image from the backup camera has something in its field of view. (Like little slivers of the tailgate handle or better yet, the the outside of the opening for the camera, see attachment) I've taken the camera out and with it pointing to the sky and the truck in reverse the view is perfect and unobstructed. So has anyone here had to deal with this issue and/or has anyone got any ideas for resolving it?

How about a picture of camera sitting in the tailgate handle housing?

 

Does it seem to fit correctly?

Sorry, how about a shot with the tailgate up, with the lens in the handle. Just wondering if it is flush sitting inside the handle housing.

Something looks strange, what is on the bezel casting the reflection of you taking taking the picture?

 

I have the factory bezel with just the chrome pull handle, and there is no shiny surface that low on it. Maybe that is what you see in your camera image?

That's kinda what I thought, I bought this truck used and wondered if the entire handle body was "chromed" or merely just the handle itself. I'll have to see about removing the extra pieces if applicable.

Yea, that would make sense on what you are seeing.

 

They do make an overlay that is held on with 3M tape that covers the whole handle.

Took this "accent" piece off Saturday morning. The camera is now fully functional. 27626f9de4b0c757b446387086a30ca6.jpg

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
