     I apologize if this has been covered before,but I have a 2018 Silverado with a backup camera in the tailgate handle and would like to add a backup camera on the back of my trailer.This leads to a few questions:

1)Wire or wireless? Any opinions?

2)As far as display,should I get a small monitor or can it be hooked up somehow with the screen for the tailgate camera?

I see lots of options on Amazon at very reasonable prices,but has anyone done something like this that has feedback as to what is a good or bad setup? Thanks.

What’s the scoop on the 442?  Here’s our F85 (with the front 442 emblem). We inherited it when my father in law passed away in August.

Cool car!

 

Are you asking what the 442 moniker means? 

When the Oldsmobile 442 was introduced in 1964, it stood for a four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhaust.

Looks like a 65:

 

1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass 4-4-2

oldsmobile-442-1965a

Comments: Oldsmobile finally got the 4-4-2 package right for 1965. They eliminated four door models and made it optional on all two door F-85s and Cutlass models. The previous engine was replaced with a new 400 cid engine, generating 345bhp and 440lb-ft. The name now signified the 400 cid engine, 4 barrel carb, and dual exhausts. The package included heavy duty issue shock absorbers and springs, battery, clutch, front and rear stabilizer bars, fat tires, and 4-4-2 badges. Marketing was much more youthful and organized, and sales improved to 25,003. Critics pronounced the 4-4-2 as one of the best handling of the intermediate muscle cars and an all around balanced performer.

Production:
Holiday 2D Hardtop: 21,535
Convertible: 3,468

Engines:
400 V8 345 bhp @ 4800 rpm, 440 lb-ft @ 3200 rpm.

Performance:
400/345: 0-60 in 5.5 sec, 1/4 mile in 15.0 sec @ 98 mph.

I should have been more specific. Lol. Asking if the OP had a 442 because of his name. 

No problem, I am full of useless information that I will share when opportunity arises?.

Yes,I have a few 442's.

 

Nice. I like wheelies. 

BTW I think the hp/ tq numbers are a bit underated.

Either way check how low the rpm at peak torque (3200)

Recently ordered from Amazon and installed the Furrion Vision S7 Wireless Backup System to my 35’ travel trailer ( distance from camera to dash-mounted monitor ~50’). I am using the external monitor that comes with it. Don’t think it will work with OEM back-up camera. Easy install, works great but pricey.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !.

      Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!

      I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.
