Hello everyone. I am interested in doing the rear view cam mirror mod that is listed here and about to purchase all the parts. I also want to know if its possible to add a front facing camera too or will that need something to be reflashed by dealer or WAMS?

 

2019 Sierra 1500 AT4 without 270/360 cam. Only have rearview cam

Don't order one.  I have one with harness.

Question is, is it possible to do it with what i have stock with the truck or will it need to be reprogrammed? 
 

and when you say dont purchase one because you have one, are you sending it to me :)

Here is the approach I used.  Not exactly what you are thinking of but it works well for me.

I did something similar with a wireless camera from amazon.  It was part of a camera setup I installed for towing my travel trailer.  After I sold my trailer,  I also gave up my dependence on cameras.  Pickup trucks have always been a challenge to park but with practice (and perhaps a few bumps 😉 ) you can get pretty precise with the placement of your front bumper.  I'm not adding this as a criticism to camera technology as my next vehicle will have 360 view!   When you watch the coming and going of trucks in a crowded parking lot you'll see some drivers park their trucks like it was a smart car.  Others, need two stalls and several attempts to dock their trucks.  I like to challenge myself to park quickly and precisely using only my windows and mirrors.

If you wanted oem camera system it would be hard to add on a truck with no VCM but might be possible if you had ios or iot radio.  I had an RST with a VCM because I had bedview package.  A truck with only rearview cam does not have a VCM.  I was able to add oem front cam by swapping VCM with a 360 one.

I bought the Haloview wireless system with 7" monitor/recorder and camera for behind my trailer. I added their licence plate mount camera for my front view.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.
