2000 Chevy 2500 Crew Cab

Additional things to fix now:

• Headlight switch is very warm when on, so guess that needs replacing
• Gas gauge is completely broken now

I still like it though.

Which wireless camera unit did you go with? I may look into those if I decide not to buy a new stereo.

This is the one I got. If your connections are solid, it works great. Highly recommend a soldered and shrink wrap connection.

There is a slight pause after putting it in reverse before the feed displays, but not an issue for me. Feed is solid most of the times (unless there is a lot of radio/wireless interference). Also, I've had it through touch-less car washes several times and no issues with the license plate mounted camera.

Cool, thanks. I'm pretty good at my electrical connections. Rewired a few ocean boats!

Update on fixes:

• New Front and Rear shocks
• 2nd try at replacing the belt (higher quality one this time)
• Differential fluid changed

So I think I am finally at the point where (with exception of the gas gauge) this truck is mechanically restored. Probably next year I will start on making it look less stock - aka, the fun begins!
