just a update for all dealer installed the mirrors they work great as for signals the dealer just had to order a special wire loom..they installed today and everything is working great! I would assume the loom ordered is just off of the 1500's with turn signal mirrors I could get the part number if people are interested.

 

as for now I have tow mirrors on my 14 lt Silverado 1500 with working turn signals! I was stoked to see the signals working!

 

Would you happen to have the part number for the replacement wiring harness?

 

Thanks...

Spoke with the dealer today they gave me an update on the new style trailer mirrors. They should be released in the third quarter.

I read somewhere that the towing mirrors from a 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD are the same style, mounting and harness as the 2014's. Can anyone else comfirm this for me please?

They're the same as the 2500 '14s, not the 1500 '14s and 2500 '15s. In other words they won't fit your truck.

So the 2500's and the 1500's all have completely different mirrors.

The 14 2500 is the same as the 07-13 2500/3500 models. The 2014 1500 and 2015 2500/3500 are the new body styles

Has anyone been able to find out the part number for the new wiring harness for the doors to enable the turn signal function? I would really appreciate any help on this. Do you need two different ones (left and right) or is it two of the same harness, one for each door?

Did the dealer install this with anything from GM? I have been told that the 1500's aren't equipped to have the towing mirrors installed without the additional support? I really need these mirrors but don't seem to be available for the my Sierra.

My factory regular mirrors suck for backing a boat down a launch. I think they leave a pretty big blind spot when I'm on the highway as well. Looks like I'll be ordering a set of towing mirrors and wiring harness as soon as I get a chance.

The only difference is a 4th mounting hole. Other members have drilled it out with success. Read through this thread and see.

I have read the posts and I know people have been drilling the 4th hole and it may be that simple but GM has a bullentin out there stating that the door is not strong enough to handle the camping style tow mirrors without the additional support. I don't understand why GM would make the door not be able to handle it but none the less they did. The door may or may not be able to handle it and I don't know either. You stated the dealer installed the mirrors and was just wondering if the dealer installed any other support or did they just drill the 4th hole and install the mirrors?

I believe, if you read through this thread, that someone found out all the part numbers for the doors are the same. Therefore, the only difference is the hole that needs drilled.

      3.59 Kroger’s in Montgomery Tx. 20 cents higher than most around here. Very unusual. Saturday they were 3.49.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Starting at 17 running parts for my father’s construction business to haul our equipment. Eventually doing shows, sales and training after purchase. I drove a minimum of 50K miles a year. Half hauling something. After retiring 30K miles a year to the last 2 years 15K miles a year. 2/3rds highway driving. The major contribution to fatigue for me is from anticipation and awareness. I just don’t relax. Too many idiots on the road. There’s two kinds. The group that never leave the left lane tied together afraid to let anyone in doing 80. They’re mostly on weekends. Then the left lane sleepers usually next to a tractor trailer not advancing. Eventually the tractor trailer will drift over the sleeper will wake up. The train moves and the tailgaters who are usually mad as hell. You definitely don’t want to mix with them. The tail wagging bumper puller’s with under powered trucks are holding the tractor trailer up. That bunch are dangerous. I usually pace ahead all that. Unless there’s a gap when I can chill and let the speeders pass. I tried all different types of driving. I stay to the right except to pass, it’s the law that’s getting in forced more now because of road rage. I was so happy when my wife didn’t want to do the camping life. I had enough of pulling for work. The family has a bus and fifth wheel. I haven’t driven either one since retiring. No thanks.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      Yesterday a suggested youtube video thumbnail caught my attention so I watched through it and it was a bunch of short clips someone gathered together of people pulling trailers, a lot of them were bumper pull holiday trailers and a pickup or suv pulling it. a few fifth wheels as well, some motorhome crashes also. The tail wagging the dog theme was quite evident in numerous self inflicted accidents that took out vehicles around them sometimes in the process as the unit finally swung around and flipped over in the middle of the highway. Or the other classic which literally could be called "I forgot the trailer was back there" in passing another vehicle on a multi lane one way freeway and then cutting back in line before the back of the rv trailer had passed the front of the passed vehicle and often in front of a tractor trailer and that never ended well. Or the wide kick out swing of the rear of a long travel trailer as they have so much overhang behind the axles and the trailer smashes into the side of vehicles in the next lane over ( typically sharp turns in city driving ). It makes one leery for good reason to be near an RV trailer after watching a video like that and be it on the highway, in town, or at a gas station where that rear end comes swinging around due to the fuel station being so cramped and not intended for larger trailers. I wonder how many officers have heard those words though "I forgot it was back there" as they investigate the accident LOL.

      Just because a person can buy a travel trailer or a motorhome doesn't mean they can drive it properly. My observation during my RVing years.
