MIRROR, OUTSIDE REAR VIEW, RH, Right (BLACK) : CK1(03-43-53) WIDE LOAD MAN EXTENDING/MAN FOLD O/S MIR(DPN) : $346.24

come with all of the necesary parts or did you have to order everything in the diagram

So If I got the towing mirrors that have the turn signal in them. Since my current mirrors do not have them. Will I need to wire them or will they automatically work?

If it's anything like the last generation it will automatically start working.

Good news folks! They work!

 

I'll have more details and pics later, but for now just know it's an easy swap. The first one took about an hour as I figured stuff out, the second about 15 minutes. Drilliing the extra hole takes about 30 seconds each side, other than that it's a straight swap. Plug and play. Power works, blinker works and heat works. Memory obviously doesn't work but it doesn't make them "go crazy" either--they simply don't move at all. So it looks like there's no need for reprogramming.

 

Success!

 

 

 

Sweet. Glad it worked out. Thanks for posting back.

Do they make a "fancy" towing mirror? something other than just black all over? maybe some chrome?

They make chrome covers that you can buy.. And you can buy the whole actual mirror in chrome too, but that's only in the aftermarket world and I don't think there are even aftermarket tow mirrors available for k2's yet

What part numbers did you seach for to get those? Do they stick out much farther than the non-towing mirrors?

Please no. Chrome tow mirrors are just tacky. If anything get them color matched.

Do they make a cover to paint so they can be color matched? The factory finish isn't smooth, the painted texture wouldn't look good...

      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 ?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.
