     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.

    • I included the first gen-cylinder de-activation (active fuel management) in my statement.
    • Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

    • Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
