Same exact thing happened to me last month. Dead battery in the driveway, wouldn't even turn over click-click-click. Tried to jumper my starter in the fuse box and that was dead also. New battery, new starter, fired right up like a champ.

Nice write up, Any photo's .

- Dash Cam

 

Nice, @Ravenkeeper(all of it)! Indeed, @jpinoy, the VanTru 4 dash cam is great!

Now, if I could figure out a way to get the auto-fold options activated!


As far as the auto-fold power mirrors, I emailed with @pgamboa(awesome and quick responses) and he mentioned this function is in the seat memory module and resultant programming so I'm leaving it to be manually activated.
It's just a tap of the switch fold out or in, so I'm good with that. :)

@MikeBMW, that I know of, there is no auto-folding mirrors.  Set your vehicle settings, and press "LOCK" or "UNLOCK" for 1second.  Looking at the truck when you press the buttons, when the lights flash, let go.

Which vehicle settings do I set?
I've been through the infotainment settings and all of the BT Diesel/Autosync settings and I can't find a way to enable auto-fold.

Yeah, Ive watched videos explaining that setting but mine doesn't have that, commensurate with @pgamboaemailing me this is a part of the seat memory module function and resultant programming of the BCM.

You could buy the DL3 (power fold/puddle lamp mirrors) and do what I did and buy @pgamboaDL8 to DL3 conversion harnesses and switch to make them power fold, as far as pressing the lock/unlock I don’t think mine has that function.

I had the dealer install tow mirrors a while ago and they replace the door harness at that time.
I installed power fold tow mirrors last weekend along with the proper mirror switch for power fold.
Installation was plug and play.
What I was looking to do is get the auto fold working but my truck isn't equipped to do such.
Power fold - no issue; auto fold, too much upgrading required.

My factory warranty expired yesterday on the way to work.  Within 25 minutes I received 3 phone calls alerting me to that. 😀  I guess I should have taken them up on one of the offers, as the transmission and lifters are going to blow up any day now. 😆

 

Unfortunately, this is the clearest of this pictures I took.  Camera did not want to focus on lights in the dark.

Unless your power fold mirrors were a part of the seat memory package you won't have those choices.

    • I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.        
    • This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.
    • Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.
    • He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.
    • Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.
