I seem to remember on the gen 3 trucks this was possible but requiring all window switches to be replaced and possibly some BCM programming from the dealer.

 

That was to get the power fold option to work though. Something I dont really care about. What im after is the turn signals in the mirrors for my own piece of mind. 5% tint on the back windows doesnt help when trying to change lanes in traffic and i believe the turn signals in the mirrors would at least let people right next to me (in blind spot usually) know what my intentions are..

 

Anyways thats why now i need to know how. Ive found replacemnets on Amazon (can't seem to post link) that have two plugs in em. I'm guessing it would take some minor modification but wiring the LED's up to the turn signals can't be that difficult right?

What I did on my 2013 GMT900 is locate and purchase one pair of DL3 powerfold/LED turn signal mirrors with heat, drivers side auto dim and puddle lamps. Note that there are two different LED styles in this generation. One for 2007-2008, and the other for 2009-14. I then totally dismantled the donor DL3 mirrors. I then removed my existing DL8 manual fold heated mirrors from my truck. I transferred the mirror glass, lower plastic housing and complete wiring harness from the DL3 mirrors to my original manual fold mirrors. The wiring for the turn signals is already in the door-this is plug and play. The puddle lamps, and auto dim will have to be wired up, unless your truck has the door modules already. So I have my own "hybrid" manual fold, LED turn signal, auto dim mirrors with puddle lamps. I didn't really care for the powerfold function, since my truck was not equipped with door modules, and to get a OEM appearing installation is difficult.

Your tha man. That's exactly what I was looking for. Since you mentioned it auto dim on the drivers side mirror would be a pretty nice addition.. Starting to regret not getting the slt but I HAD to have a center console... I'm an idiot.

You're not an idiot. I couldn't find the exact truck I wanted, so I bought the closest thing, and have added options to it to make it the way I want it. If you have any more questions regarding the swap, I'll be glad to assist.

Has anyone been successful in installing DL3 Power Folding Mirrors on a new Silverado that came with DL8 Power adjusting mirrors as part of the 1LT Trim Level?

I would also be interested in this mod, if possible. I did it on my 2013 but had to hard wire the power for the folding motors in the mirrors. I had some mirrors that has the puddle lights in them and the plug that is on both the DL8 and DL3 mirrors went from 8 to 9 wires with the puddle lights. The turn signals were plug and play, but had to run hot and ground for the power folding motors. Not the easies of jobs.

I want to put these on as well...seems like it should be no problem..anybody?

Hi. I'm doing a dl8 to dl3 mirror swap on my 2014 silverado and was wondering if anyone knew the part numbers for the driver master door switches with power folding buttons and the passenger side. I can't find these numbers. Thanks in advance.

Now I called the dealer and they gave me part number for just the power folding mirror switch GM #22754411. He said that's how they sell them. Each switch is separate. It's about $50 to $70 for the switch. Looking at the switch it looks like I can put switch in without bezel, fits in same spot. It just adds a middle button. Now, does anyone know if it will need to be programmed for it to work. Thanks

I'd bet $5.00 it'll take some sort of programming, that's IF it can even be done at all (kind of like Sierra SLT LED headlights being 0% compatible with non all terrain SLE'S). I mean it probably CAN be done but not without some non OEM modifications.

Well I tried to install the DL3 mirror, but the signal and puddle dont work. The weird thing is that the wiring is there for power folding on the connecter but doesnt work casue I dont have the switch. Ims gonna get the switch I mentioned above and try it.. Does anyone know if I could just get a door wire harness to get things to work or the wires would be missing from the cab side also? Anybody have the wiring diagrams for the door and cab side where the wires go into the truck? I see that the cabin side connector the door connects to has more wires going into it then what my door conn. has. So it could be possible the wiring is there. If anyone could help, it would be very appreciated.

Ditto: I am also interested in this mod. I think the 2014 mirrors only have 1 plug for both the DL3 and DL8 mirrors. I doubt that just adding the mirrors and the switch that they will work

I know on my 2013 the turn signals were plug and play but I see a post above that says this is not the case for the 2014... Is that correct?

At least on my truck they are not plug n play. Missing wires on door side connector but have power fold wires on door connector.

You would think the mirror signals would let people know around you that you are signalling to get over....but no. Most everyone is an idiot driver ha.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
