I have a 2022 Chevy Silverado RST. I have a manual dimming rear view mirror. I wanted to upgrade to the video mirror. But there is no power cord under the head liner that connects to the powered rear view mirror. Why would my truck not come with the connector and how can I add one. What is the connector called. Or how would I splice in the powered mirror to the truck.

Those trucks that were not specs with the dimming mirror do not have the connector and wiring to add one in the refresh. Last I checked with Gen5DIY on a harness, they still have not been able to identify part numbers and order connectors to modify a truck with the lane keep assist module to add auto dimming mirrors. outside of wiretapping a hot lead, it just can't be done yet with the shortage of pretty much every thing in the industry

That's odd in the refresh they removed the wiring up there. Just an auto dim mirror is cake to wire. Just run power to a switched fused circuit and ground. There's a 3rd wire, usually green, that is for the reverse light circuit so it turns off dimming when in reverse, but it's not a requirement to be used. I've retrofitted several of my older vehicles with auto dim mirrors. The video thing is a whole different animal. You can buy rearviews with displays in them and you'd have to add aftermarket cameras if that's what you want.

The power cord is glued in the headliner. Your truck is pre wired for all the fealtures made it easy on GM to add features on truck with all the options they can pick and choose which trim levels to sell.

Its definitely not glued to the headliner like the pre-refresh. I've been up in there with my refresh with Lane keep assist. The RST trucks that have that don't get the wiring glued to the roof. It's almost certainly due to the wiring harness shortage we had the last year and a half.

Is yours a refresh 22 or 22 pre-refresh/old interior?  I have a 22 pre-refresh and wanted to do the mirror cam has well.  Looks like I have to check to see if the harness is up there!

GM has become very very good at not putting extra wires in their vehicles anymore.  Every penny saved = profits.

This is true. It makes electrical upgrades and mods more difficult. Also proprietary hardware and software.

OK. My bad I had No idea. I wish you the best of luck with the harness. maybe check with infotainment.com or americantrucks.com see if they have the entire set up.

It's not sure if this helps.... I have a 2023 RST and I am trying to do the video mirror upgrade but don't have the harness available but I did find this up above the passenger side in the headliner. Maybe someone can shed some light as to what this is and can we use it.

Are there only 2 wires on it? If so it's probably for the lighted sun visors. I added those to my 21 Custom.

Any chance you have a part number for the lighted sun visors?

I don't. I just found a listing on ebay and bought them. The LED lights on them are as underwhelming as the overhead lights in the interior. They were honestly a waste of money.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
