That connector you pushed up inside the tailgate was supposed to be accessible. It is designed so you can remove your tailgate without having to take the camera stuff off too. I know you hacked the feed line and plugged into the existing RCA you had but thought I would mention it. Cheers from Minnesota.

[@AaronHultin]

I used this same camera on one of my trucks and had the issue with the loose bezel which ultimately resulted in one of the tabs breaking off. Now that you reminded me I am going to email the company and see just how no questions asked the 5 yr warranty is.

[@AlexTurbo]

How was it?

[@AaronHultin]

@@AlexTurbo Master Tailgsters ultimately wanted more for the bezel than I could get one of the many chinesium copies of the camera for. I "temporarily" repaired the bezel by stacking enough 3m vhb tape on each side of the unit to make it secure and steady. It's been temporarily fixed since then 🤣

A DD radio is a great upgrade for the 99-02 GM full size trucks/SUVS. Pioneer DD radios are a perfect fit with just removing the rear brace from the radio cavity.

[@OrangeSpeedTV]

Been wondering how these were, I like how they look so clean and factory looking.

[@CaptainsvLogs]

You know I love these videos about our year and make. I hope to see you doing another Duramax.

[@608_diesel]

Backup camera looks like it works pretty good, on my list of "mods to do" along with a double din head unit. Last week a company called Boost Auto came out with a center console wireless phone charger kit for 99+ trucks like you would get on an upper trim 14+ newer truck, could be a good upgrade if your like me and hate a bunch of wires in the cab.

[@mossman381]

I don't have a phone that charges wirelessly. I don't really stay up to date on all the techy stuff. I do love my double din.

[@jayfox5]

mossman381 lol I was going to say you look like the type of guy who still uses the house phone

[@mossman381]

I am not that primitive :)

[@fallenskyshomesteadingandp2528]

Hey mossman thanks for making these type of videos. It does help us back yard mechanics. Watch out for that crazy guy in the background 🤣

[@mossman381]

My evil twin. You have to watch out for him :)

[@jonasoutdoors]

I have a 2003 GMC Sierra. What size screen do I need to buy to install where the radio is?

[@tankdog03ify]

you should get the Dee Zee tailgate assist, it let's you be able to just drop you tailgate and let go, and it opens slowly by itself, works very nice.. everyone keeps asking me where I got it.. there only like $25

[@billdurnce]

tankdog03 I can vouch for this too I have one on my duramax and it’s awesome and cheap

[@mossman381]

I have seen those. Should get one.

[@briarpatch718]

Ive had mine for 4 years now still working grate and I will never have another truck without one.

[@leviwoodring6101]

My tailgates got a bunch of drain holes on the bottom side. Must of been a revision so they dont rust out like I've seen.

[@farmboy30117]

Pretty nifty! If you have issues with the bezel, I'd recommend some 3M double sided tape. That stuff will hold it on!

[@mossman381]

I don't see it falling off.

[@tobiahfaulkner1489]

I just bought one of these and it was loose enough to pull off with a little jiggling. used the 3M trim tape and no more issues.

[@angelurias4502]

When you had your old camera on under the tailgate did you have any clearance issues??

[@billdurnce]

Now that is pretty cool! I was gonna say it probably gives a much better view when hookin up trailers then you mentioned it in the video haha. Might have to look into one for my duramax to make hooking up the boat easier.

[@alextinpin3577]

Great job! Thank you for sharing info 👍

[@qmac10]

What brand/ model of radio do you use with this setup......... Thanks

[@Brandon68plus1]

Just got mine installed I like look and camera but bezel does not fit tight like oem bezel which I had a feeling that was going to be an issue. May have to add some sort of shim or more foam.

[@mossman381]

Never had any problems with mine. Even plowing snow it never came off.

[@arprecisionmodshop-1446]

Really clean. Nice job

[@jasonwhite6936]

This might have been asked but couldn't you unscrew the access plate and run your wires that way without drilling a hole?

[@mossman381]

Not sure what access panel you are talking about. There are no panels on the bottom of the tailgate.

[@pollym.2126]

I have 3 wires coming out the reverse socket, which one is the reverse wire? Green right? On my 04 Silverado

[@mossman381]

Can't say I remember.

[@tankdog03ify]

I have the bully dog locking latch bezel, I would like my camera in there though.. I have mine tucked in right above the receiver hitch, I gotta keep the lock on my tailgate because I leave my tools in there.. I do like this camera a lot though

[@ericbosley5754]

love all your video keep theming coming!

[@Jrod_FPV]

thanks for the video! Does the camera see the hitch ball when installed? It's not visible in your video but maybe the ball isn't installed? Thats the main benefit of the camera for me is hooking up a trailer.

[@mossman381]

Yes, you can see the ball hitch when it's installed.

[@Jrod_FPV]

@@mossman381 thank you, I found your follow up video. Sorry if you already did this and I just missed it.... If you get sick of answering this question, I believe you can pin a post to the top of the comments with a link to your follow-up video. That or at the link in the video description. Maybe that will keep people from having to ask the question.

[@mossman381]

I don't have a problem helping people. I try to respond to most comments but it's impossible to respond to all of them.

[@deanomatic5129]

You need a step drill. Double sided tape or silicon should tighten that loose piece up. Nice job, Thanks.

[@MLLERTME02]

Just wondering if you (or anyone else) think one of the Pop & Lock (PL1100) manual tailgate locks would fit with this backup camera bezel? My concern is the center bump on the bezel itself. Any feedback would be awesome!

[@mossman381]

I don't think you can use that lock with this bezel.

[@bishdavid99]

@@mossman381 no u can.t use the lock my 01 has a lock also and the camera bezel covers up the lock cylinder

[@MakingitMoist]

Where do I run the wire too?

[@1371ddcantu]

Is the wire noticeable on the bottom of the tailgate when it’s closed?

[@mossman381]

If you look for it you can see it. Doesn't stick out.

[@Nordic_Mechanic]

one question, I see you had no ball on the hitch. Would the camera see it? Would it see a 4 inch drop ball?

[@mossman381]

I am not sure if it will see the hitch. I have a pretty good drop on mine so I think not. Once I hook up a few trailers I should know where it needs to be.

[@jlee0639]

@@mossman381 Wondering the same thing as Veikra. Can you see the ball to make hooking up to trailers a breeze?

[@mossman381]

@@jlee0639 Yes, I can even see my 6" drop receiver. Check out my update video on this camera. Really happy with it. Used it all winter. Makes hooking up trailers really easy.

Good job on the dielectric grease, that connector is definitely not a water resistant type.

I saw that plug and knew the salt and junk was going to be all over it :)

[@joshuarozario5654]

Thanks for the video. Do you have an aftermarket display inside your truck?

Yes, I have a video on the radio I installed. Check the playlist on this truck.

Just got done watching your backup camera install and noticed your bumper. Do you have a link to where you got it?

[@IowaKLR650]

Mossman, Thank you for sticking with us we would have missed you, Randy. How did you make it so the tailgate is still removable or did I miss that? Merry Christmas. Be well. Wayne

[@mossman381]

The camera just plugs in and I put plug connectors on the + and -. They are going to the same place as I did with the other camera. I showed all the wiring in the first backup camera video I did. Didn't see the need to go over it again.

[@superdutyman9186]

Looks good saw your old western uni mount in the back round do you still use that plow at all

[@mossman381]

That plow goes on dads truck. He has a 4wd issue that we need to fix.

[@danhoffman1051]

I had the same one installed on my 03 Silverado camera is great it works great but when I put it in reverse the screen doesn't come on I have to push the camera button on my double din Kenwood, is there a way to make it work like yours when I put it in reverse the screen will change to the backup camera? Thanks

[@mossman381]

You might have to go into your options menu and have the camera pop on the screen when it gets power. Not really sure how your Kenwood works. On my double din I had a backup camera port in the back and maybe even a wire that I needed to hook up to backup light power. Been awhile since I installed it but I have a video in the playlist for this truck of that install.

[@dylans4788]

There should be a reverse trigger wire on your radio harness, there should be a reverse trigger wire in your factory harness as well, if not then just run a wire to a switched power source either a toggle switch or anything that triggers when you put the truck in reverse to your radio!

[@Nordic_Mechanic]

I was trying to get a 1500 sporty tailgate cap (angled) to eventually put the camera in it, pointing the ball. This could work just fine

[@mossman381]

I don't like the 1500 tailgate. I think the 2500 smooth cap is much better looking.

[@robertmarsh5786]

Are you still happy with the bezel and camera?

[@mossman381]

I sold the truck but never had any problems with it.

[@jaredford7697]

Where did you get your fender flares??

[@mossman381]

They are just cheap flares. Don't remember the company but I would recommend these: amzn.to/3hiJjfG They are the Tyger brand and the same price I paid. I have gotten a few Tyger stuff and have been very happy with all of it.

[@terryhicks694]

We're at two years now, how is this holding up?

[@mossman381]

I sold this truck maybe 3 months ago. It was working fine.

You will have to buy one and install it.

[@tracyportersr]

Great job doing this by yourself, but the camera doesn't show your ball, so it's a no for me.

[@mossman381]

It shows the hitch when you have one installed. I used this camera to hook up many trailers.

[@dylanhutchinson7546]

Where did u get that bumper?

[@mossman381]

It's a factory 07-13 bumper. Painted black to match with some LED lights mounted on it.

[@ObsTurdBucket]

Tailgate basil?

[@mossman381]

Yup, you say it the way you want and I will say it the way I want. You need to get out more if a different sounding word causes you to take the time to comment about it.

[@ObsTurdBucket]

mossman381 oh spicy. I was making a joke. Get you’re panties out of the bunch they’re in and leave your safe space.

[@ObsTurdBucket]

mossman381 I “get out” plenty. Obviously you need thicker skin if a KZbin comment causes you to get butthurt

[@mossman381]

I was just making a joke about "getting out more". You need thicker skin if you can't handle someone responding to your KZbin comments.

[@ObsTurdBucket]

mossman381 nice deleted comment.

[@cjmore100]

That is not worth $100. Factory bezel and an aftermarket camera is way cheaper. And why would you cut the video cable instead of using a RCA cable extender?

[@mossman381]

It is worth every penny. I had no problems with it at all. I explained in the video why I cut the cable.

[@EMILLZZ]

What bumper is that??

[@mossman381]

2010 Silverado factory bumper. I had it on my dually first. Then it was put on this truck: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqq3oHmea7ebgac

[@TalsmaBRT]

Bayzel?

[@mossman381]

Yup

[@evanch123456]

[@lavishlex]

Would this work for a 2003 suburban??

[@mossman381]

Not sure.

[@AaronHultin]

Also I get a much better picture than you are (I am using a pioneer double din radio) I pulled power for the camera off of the constant 12v from the trailer harness with a relay triggered by the reverse lights wire also in the trailer harness. You might get cleaner power from there.

[@mossman381]

I need to put a relay in. Been wanting to do that awhile now. I was thinking of getting power from the trailer plug instead of running a new wire.

[@tonymeehan7859]
