I visited two dealers within the past week, no luck with either one on the kit.

 

The first dealer only had an aftermarket option, which they conveniently had no information on for me to take home.

 

The second dealer only had the option to order each mirror as a "replacement" part separately at $645 a piece.

 

Luckily time is on my side and I won't need these for about 6-8 months but I'm running out of patience.

 

Any insight anyone? (Outside of the SuperchargedSS option)

 

Thanks

@SuperchargedSS http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/user/73467-superchargedss/ got me all squared away! If your looking to do these mirrors talk to him 1st!

Just buy the good ones... if you can't install them yourself have a good audio store do it. ... I love mine and appreciate them every day. (I am not affiliated with the seller, really. )

Basically the only way to do it if your truck didn't come with them factory is to order them (via dealership or SuperchargedSS) and wire them yourself. The amount of wiring you do is based on what options your truck has currently turn signals, powerfold...etc. There is not BCM flashing or anything that can be done because the wiring in the truck does not have the wires for them at all to function by just plug and play and flash.

If you ask the right question to the right techician, they should mention that in order for the driver side power mirror to work too, it has to be programmed via GM uplink and code provided in instructions. Once tech calls with program code then a link is sent, technician then has to use their device to load the program to make it work. In simplest terms, it's like adding GM remote start to vehicles and having to download, upload, program, and time waisted if your vehicle mirrors don't have ability to be programmed. Just learned a very costly lesson on these new power mirrors and install plus compatability and want to save others same frustration by doing install on own.

Just had my new chrome towing mirrors installed at dealership. Drove it home and realized the amber lights only work as the former puddle lights and the rear LEDs won't turn on at all with cargo or reverse. Called the dealership and they said they couldn't wire it to work since its factory plugs. He was going to check on a new wiring harness. Any one have this problem or advice on how I can get the Amber lights and LEDs to work?

What did you pay for em?

 

See post 123. 15hdriver indicates there is a bcm flash code for them to reprogram and make work in some sort of kit....

 

Beginning to wonder if it's ancient lore...

Did the dealer install new driver and passenger door harnesses? If you had the GM mirror kit installed, you need door harnesses as well. The kit should have a BCM authorization code with the sheet inside the box and the dealer has to reflash the BCM after they call GM with the authorization code.

I paid $725 for the pair

I am calling them back today. I called yesterday and they were going to check into the wire harnesses for me. I am going to ask them about it today once I get a call back. Thanks for the info. Hopefully I can get it resolved as the LED's were a part of why I wanted the new towing mirrors.

The dealership I work with gave me the pair for $725. A kit I believe.

Do you have the part number?

 

Also, did your truck have power fold and does these mirrors fold?

 

Keep us posted regardless, wanting to get them.

Good stuff. All the info I put in that other response is right from the instruction manual the dealer has access to. It shows them based on options and model year what mirror kit to use, door harness part numbers, if the retrofit harness is needed and if the BCM needs calibration.

I will put this out there - if anyone has factory BLACK mirrors with power/heated glass (NOT the fancy chrome, but just basic black factory towing mirrors), PM me.

 

I want to add the big towing mirrors, but do NOT want the chrome. May get some off EBay, but if someone upgrades their 2015+ 2500/3500 to the chrome, I may buy the old ones!

If you want powerfold they only come in chrome but you can pull the caps off and color match them to your truck. I would think if people who had these and wanted the chrome ones they would just buy new caps instead of whole new mirrors.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
