Hello,

I have a 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE. Can I install a set of the H/D Camper style manual mirrors on my truck? Just bought a toy hauler and would like the large mirrors. Checked with the dealer and they cost about 240 a side for all the parts.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Joe

You can get the power obes with signal and retain all your features. But they will just bolt on

They should fit my, 2011 Silverado 1500 came from the factory with them. Love them and would not own a truck without the big mirrors!

I did the aftermarket ones from ebay for $169 FOR THE PAIR shipped-- I had aftermarket ones before that Rattled and didn't feel very quality... The shop at work has been buying these to replace the ones broken at work and told me they just buy them off ebay....They are very close to the factory ones on my work truck.... you can't tell. Bolt right on. Just watch the very front both I dropped both sides in the door while putting them on by accident and had to go fishing lol

 

Install Instructions are on Youtube just search for it I think 1A Auto is the company that put the video out. Took me 1/2 an hour you have to pull the panel to route the wiring.

After, factory tow mirror set that newdude linked.

Originally bought them for our '10-1500, took them off when we traded the truck in for the new beast. Before pic was taken on way home from the dealer, and that night I installed the tow mirrors.

KMGZ400,

 

TY! Your beast would look just as sweet with the tow mirrors as it does currently!

 

Miner,

 

MAYBE!!! Lol

 

It was!!! Can't remember the exact exit, but we were on our way "UP" to TC to go The Great Wolf Lodge right after we got the truck. Sweet thing about Bubba J (as our son named it!) is we live about 10 min from where the plant is!

Thanks for the reply's. Got a set from Chevrolet and they are great!. Makes pulling my boat a whole lot better. They also have the red turn signal arrows. They are the manual fold in style and I like the looks better than the chrome covered stock mirrors.

Peace

Joe

Your truck is awesome looking!

 

I really like the color.

 

Very classy look.

TY guys!!! Other than being our 3rd Blue truck in a row, we love it! Lol

 

Glad to hear you are liking the new mirrors!

 

I'm not a fan of the chrome mirror covers either, especially on the tow mirrors! But to each their own!

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
