2018 Silverado

I have a Haloview back-up camera system for my travel trailer with a 7" monitor.  I'm having a hard time finding a suitable place to mount the monitor since it's so big and also needs to have the antenna stand vertically above it.  I mounted it on a sort of cantilevered arm stuck to the dash just above the center stack, but as expected, I couldn't get it to adhere very long despite thoroughly cleaning the surface and using VHB tape.  This was an ideal location since it was right above the factory screen and in my line of sight as I scan other things, like navigation.  Also, having it in the center of the dash is the most natural place since it basically replaces my rear view mirror with the trailer attached.  With the cantilever mount, it was low enough to minimize obstruction of my view over the hood.

 

I bought the system for another vehicle before I got the truck and it's way past the return date, so I can't easily (inexpensively) switch to a smaller monitor.  Does anyone have any pics or descriptions of mounting locations, brackets or mounts that work for a monitor like this?  I'd appreciate hearing any ideas.  Thanks.

Pics. I added a little piece of foam between the bracket and the dash to keep it from shaking when the monitor is mounted.

mysery1, that looks like a really clean install.  I assume that there is a steel pad on the monitor to stick to the mount...

 

I currently have a ProClip USA phone mount in my truck at the same position.  I sent them an inquiry to see if they have a mount for the Haloview slot.

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
