Camera Questions on 2019

Hey everyone I'm new here and this is my first chevy since my first truck that I rebuilt which was a 89 GMC shortbed. I just got out of a 2018 Tundra and picked up a 2019 LTZ with the 6.2 and 10 speed. I think it's loaded with every option that you can get. I have the trailer package and the tech package with the HUD. 

 

Before purchasing, I drove my buddies 2020 AT4 and really liked how when I towed my boat and hit the turn signals that the display changed to the cameras in the sideview mirrors. My truck will not do this when towing the same boat and I cannot figure out why. In the manual it says something about max trailer vision but it doesn't really go into details. Is this something that the 2019s don't do? I can manually go to the camera app and select the cameras so I know it has them. 

 

On top of that, what is the trigger for the front camera to come on when parking or approaching an obstacle? Sometimes it comes on and sometimes it doesn't and I just get the bars that pop up by the speedo and my seat vibrates. I'd love to be able to see how close I'm getting on the front end when I'm parking or maneuvering low speed. 

 

Overall, all of the cameras are a great feature but navigating to them while driving isn't a feasible option. Other than that I love the truck. Just chopped the muffler out leaving both flappers and the resonators and it is perfect in that regards. Happy to have some extra creature comforts over my old Tundra.

I think part of the issue is they're some electrical architecture differences between the 2019 and 2020.  I cannot remember off the top of my head everything, but I do believe there was a difference in the mirror wiring, which might explain why your buddies truck has a fair, but yours doesn't.  I hope somebody will come along shortly to explain things in detail.  In the meantime, that's the direction I'd start investigating.

On mine if I want the front camera, say for pulling into a parking spot or into the garage, I just touch the camera icon on the display and the front camera comes on. Also if backing up the back up camera will be on and then if switch to drive the front camera comes on. It will stay on until I hit a certain speed and then it turns off. Guess they don’t want you watching the display instead of the road. 
 

I have never tried to activate the side camera while driving.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
