You are short one wiring harness. There is an additional jumper harness in addition to the two door harnesses on early build trucks (you have 6/14 as your build).

Do you happen to know what the harness # is I replaced both door harnes's and mirrors I can hardwire the lights but not sure what wires do what. Thanks for responding.

So curious not looking to flame or anything. What is the appeal of the tow mirror over regular mirrors? Outside of towing. Better visibility? Can they fold in automatically?

Better view when towing, also imho the stock mirrors are too damn small.

the stock mirrors looked nice but when I had a camper in tow I had a lot of trouble seeing to change lanes. They worked fine with my car trailer and my utility trailer though. The tow mirrors definitely make a bit of noise on the highway and don't fold them in over 75 as they wont fold until your under 65. ( I found that out the hard way). sunroof does the same thing at speed.

Towing a big yes and also blind spot view. It took some time for me to get use to the tiny circle on the 1500. My 2500HD had that big convex on the bottom and it showed everything.

It kinda blows my mind how hard it is to find a GM truck optioned with the tow mirrors and how expensive they are to buy them outright. The only reason I have a truck is to tow my travel trailer. Funny almost every GM truck has a tow package but GM has forgotten to safely tow you have to be able to see behind. I use the molded slip on type when towing but wouldn't be nice if you could at least extend the regular mirrors.

I thought all NHT (Max Trailer) came with tow mirrors?

 

I prefer mine to the smaller size even when not towing. The lower section lets me see the Miata beside me much better than the small mirrors.

I believe they do. The problem in finding an NHT. There was only one in Ontario when I was looking and it was way out of my price range. What gets me is you are almost guaranteed to find the Max tow at any Ford dealer around here. GM dealers here say they are not popular so they don't order them. I guess most people who tow here buy Fords. I wanted to add them to my current truck but at $2K no thanks. The $100 slip ons are better than nothing but don't hold a candle to a factory tow mirror.

Interesting. I found a fair number of Max trailer trucks in BC. I found Max tow at the Ford dealer, but not with the Max Payload. I would have wanted both before I picked up a Ford.

I ordered the tow mirror accessory and the door harnesses, however the online store sent me a 23342715 in lieu of the 23171566 for the passenger door. The new harness was $16 cheaper but I am hesitant to install it if I can't verify that it truly is the correct one.

They said it is covered under warranty if defective but when asked if they will replace it if it's the wrong one, I was told only if it hasn't been installed.

I don't feel like ripping a door apart just to look. Any one out there that can verify that part number 23342715 does supersede 23171566?

This vendor says it's a replacement.

So this weekend I installed the 465 and 467 mirrors. Darn expensive but well worth it when towing and being able to fold in. I had a partial box of Dynamat from my last car build and thought I would see how much difference it makes. Installed in both front doors directly on the door skin. It was quite before but sounds even better. Going to do rear doors this week. I know I'm anal about road noise but will be towing a travel trailer across country from west to east coast this summer and will Help the long drive.

Well I have had my mirrors installed for almost a year now by yours truly on a 14' Silverado LT, I have all the functions hooked up and working but as most of you know I had to hard wire most of it and intall a switch for the power fold since the LT's are not wired for these, however I only hooked up the turn signal to the amber LED's and now want to make them both running and turn, I have seen a couple threads using two relays and I remember seeing one thread talking about using a diode and capacitor to make the LED's light up half bright for running lights then bright for turn but cant seem to find that one again, anyone have any suggestions on which route to take which is easiest for a hard wired set up, and the only thing left I need is where to run the running light signal from so since I'm already wired in I just need to add the running light signal to the turn signal wire with the diode and capacitor, just need numbers on them and running light location and I should be good to go, if not I'll try the relay option which seems easy but takes up more room, I'll keep reading hoping to find that thread again but until then hope someone here has done the same.

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
