We put 35" Maxxis tires with 22" Fuel wheels on my 2022 Silverado LT with the new, refreshed dash. This required a 3" front and 1" back level. We started having issues with the cameras calibrating after about 6 months. Basically, the system can't calibrate the distance properly so it gives you an hourglass in the upper left hand corner of the screen showing the system is "working", a nice throwback to the microsoft busy icon . This leaves you with no grid lines for parking and no trailer assist. The dealership replaced the front camera and recalibrated the cameras. After working for two weeks, the issues started up again. 

 

Email from GM engineer to dealership stated that the software only allows for 2" of extra distance over stock ride height for the cameras to calibrate so there was nothing we could do and would be left with a dysfunctional system.

 

There are new Black Widow package trucks out there with a 6" lift that have zero camera issues. The reason why is that Black Widow had to develop their own software in coordination with GM to overcome this seemingly simple issue. GM knows their trucks are going to be lifted. They even offer the 2" lift from the factory on some of the packages. So why not just include this extra distance to compensate for this in the software instead of pissing off people who paid for and really just want their truck to function properly. Black Widow won't sell the software and GM won't offer it as a patch. So, in order for your Silverado/Sierra to function properly, you need the $20k black widow package...

 

A bigger issue I see is the safety of the vehicle. Should I trust the adaptive cruise and lane keep assist to work properly if the software doesn't even know how to calculate the distance for some parking grid lines?

 

Does anyone know of software out there that has been developed by third parties to overcome the camera calibration issue?

Unless you can find a company that knows how to do it your SOL. GM isn't going to spend the man hours and costs with doing calibrations for every possible combination of lifts and levels.

There isn't an infinite number of combinations required, it is a static distance from the ground to the cameras. It is an algorithm to calculate the distance and compensate for additional height.

GM won't be of any help here as they don't offer calibrations that comply with aftermarket modifications.  None of the issues you are having should even be covered under warranty either because of the aftermarket modifications and the dealer should have stopped right then and there when you pulled up.  Mods that are not GM that cause issue are grounds for warranty block.    

 

The only compliant lift that GM can help with is the factory Trail Boss lift kit as it has authorizations for camera calibrations.  

 

The other problem you are facing is the tire diameter.  The assist systems are dependent on the proper tire size based on the calibrations in the systems.  GM only has calibrations for factory tire sizes and the new trucks on GM Global B are very sensitive to this.  

 

TLDR:  Remove the lift.  Problem solved.

It's more complicated than that but you are kind of right.

It's really only X,Y,Z, roll, pitch, yaw that can be tweaked and likely it's just the Z to adjust on some of the cameras (not equally but close) but GM and their software will not let anyone touch these directly, like ever.

Actually I'll be damned, someone actually offers a service to reprogram your VPM.

I imagine they could tweak these settings.

Not cheap but probably not many options for this niche.

We'll take a look at that. This is the refreshed dash with the new layout so it's hard to find anyone that is doing any software mods. Hoping to find a fix so we can get everything working as it should.

Modifications on current model trucks have way more factors to consider than before. 

While I understand the issue I cant see how its GM's problem when something is modified beyond their design parameters ?   Its not 1978 anymore.  GM is hypersensitive to modifications causing warranty claims, dont expect that to change.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
