Here's a good way to install a backup camera for the truck. It's an Edge Insight CTS monitor. I installed a $12 backup camera I got off of Amazon on the license plate frame (it gives a beautiful picture), ran a wire, and plugged it into the back of the monitor. When I put the truck in reverse, the monitor automatically switches to the camera view. Then when you take it out of reverse, it goes back to the custom gauge configuration you have chosen and set up, which is what is shown in the pic.
The monitor plugs into the OBD2 port under the dash, and you can pull any items of a myriad of data that the ECM has off there and display it. TFT, Trans Fluid Temp was especially important to me, also ECT, Engine Coolant Temp, and with the addition of an exhaust manifold probe kit, I got EGT, Exhaust Gas Temp. You can mount the monitor anywhere you like.
