If I have a 2011 Silverado LT and I want to add DL3 mirrors do I have to buy them for a 2010 and newer?

 

I read somewhere that DL3 mirrors for 07-09 wont work? I just need someone to verify this for me...? I did some searching but I couldn't find much of anything...

 

ps- I don't care that much about the folding part....Just the signal. Folding would be nice though....

My 07 Tahoe had DL3s but they had the round led looking turn signals...and the newer ones...maybe 09+ have the "line" looking leds...what is the difference there?

no difference other than the look of the turn signal arrow.

 

07-08 old style (larger dot style led)

09+ thin line LED

I have 2008 DL3 mirrors on my 2011 Sierra SLE; they work fine. I had to run wires/relays and add a switch to do the folding part, though.

I have 2009 DL3's on my 2011 Sierra with only the turn signals active at this time.

 

Rt66er,

Can you post a pic and provide more details on the switch you used and where you added the switch for fold? I have read through several threads on this topic but have not seen pics with the install of the switch.

X2. I have read it isn't possible because we don't have the factory wiring for them....I also read something about adding the passenger side window switch in order to make the power fold work...

I got this schematic (cleaned up version attached) off the "other" GM truck site. You'll need a bunch of wire, two relays and a switch. I purchased the two relays and the switch at a local car stereo/alarm place. I would suggest going to such a store and showing them them the schematic; they should know what you need from that. I already had a bunch of wire left over from a never used fog light install kit I had laying around. I used this schematic originally to successfully install a set of used DL3 mirrors into a 2007 Silverado LT. When I replaced the 07 with a new 11 Sierra SLE, I swapped them over and they worked fine. I mounted the switch on the left side of the dash in the panel below the light switch and mounted the relays below the steering column (the mounting bolts for the steering column worked great for this). Then ran a power wire to the fuse block on the left end of the dash. FWIW, I used a constant power source so the mirrors will fold/unfold whether the key is on or not.

so is the passenger "curbside view" or whatever it is called an option with the DL3s this way? I had it in my tahoe and used it all the time.... Once you hit reverse, the pass side mirror angle goes straight to the ground, even with factory nav and back up it helped quite a bit when backing my boat into the ramp

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
