I have a 2017 Silverado LTZ Z71. I installed a new front camera after the last one quick working about a year ago. When the camera is working all the features work. Now about every 5th time of starting my truck, I get the service front camera light. Any ideas?

If it's an aftermarket camera, you will get that.
If it's an original replacement, perhaps the wiring was improperly installed.

Was a front camera an option on '17s? What option was it?

No, that's not the placement of the option for the front camera.
It should be mounted on the front grill.
You seem to have an aftermarket cam and the occasional message you're getting is expected.

It isn’t a front camera that is actually a camera like I think you are thinking. The camera provides lane departure and collision avoidance. 

Ok....I have that option. Now I know what you mean.

@ MikeBMW....On the 2017, the camera is mounted on the windshield by the rearview mirror.

 

@Will...I will assume, that the camera NEEDS to be recalibrated if replaced. I do NOT believe it will do it on it's own. When the windshield is replaced, these camera's need to be reset & calibrated to see the lines in the road & car in front. You might try a automotive glass installer for this service.

I suppose it's a different front camera than the one I had installed by the dealer on my 2017, then.

What does your front grill camera do? Did the dealer add an option for you?

What model year is your truck? Looks like a newer grill than a K2XX.

The front camera shows what's in front of the truck when I select it on the infotainment screen.
The truck is a 2017 with the stock grill and a chrome overlay and a lighted bowtie.

Your grill looks much different than my 2017 LTZ

Indeed, your LTZ probably has the bars like a High Country?
I never realized the 2017s were optioned with lane keep assist as the first time I saw it was when I rented a 2020 for the weekend, so my camera does have a different function than the one being discussed here.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
