Looking to get my dad a factory backup camera for Fathers Day. He has a 2014 Silverado with the IO4 radio and it's not prewired. Tying again to find the instructions for the dealer to enable and program a factory backup camera. I came across the tech article before on here but the search is failing me. Local dealer isn't the best at doing abnormal things but hopefully they could follow GM's instructions. I know WAMS does the programming. Would prefer to have the option added to GM's database for the truck in case future service work removed the programming/option. Then he wouldn't have to troubleshoot why it's not working only to realize you need to plug the programmer back into the OBD port, assuming it wasn't misplaced.

Take a look here:

 

https://www.camerasource.com/products?make_filter=6008&model_filter=6208&year_filter=6280

 

They have several options including a programmer that will allow the use of a backup camera. It does need to be temporarily plugged into OBD port for initial programming but you can put it in the glovebox after getting radio programmed for the camera.

 

 

I am a satisfied customer of theirs and bought the upgraded rear camera from them for my 2016 and is definitely a much better than OEM and a clearer picture than the factory camera.

Yeah, if I cant find the dealer instructions I'll have to go the programmer route. Trying to find a harness kit that uses the factory weather pack plug at the rear instead of something proprietary. The tailgate is frequently removed and this would need to be unplugged.

Would you be willing to sell it to me? I also have a 2016 Silverado and I tried installing a camera but I need to program it.

If you are asking about programmer, I didn't get one. Mine was already set up for one and I was just replacing the existing camera. Here is the link for the programmer.

I ordered a kit from MVI, they had everything I needed all from one place. Works just like factory for the most part. Still sorting out an issue with the grid lines, currently I just turned them off.

Have you figured out the grid line issue I added a backup camera and mine is doing the same

No.

 

MVI said they have never saw this before. The grid lines and the way they display is all in the HMI, has zero to do with the camera. The only suggestion they could offer is trying a different HMI. Some back and forth shipping would be involved swapping it out. I asked about estimated costs and downtime to dig into this further and didn't hear anything back.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the help!   I'm going to stop into the scales one of these days and weigh my axels, for the time being, I am going to run Toyo's recommendations and also do a chalk test. I have a tire shop that's going to try their scanner to reprogram and set the the factory psi values lower, and if they can't I'm going to order a scanner and do it myself!

      Exhaust Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      You won’t do better than stock exhaust without headers. Just put your favorite muffler on it and it will do the job.

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.
