2015 towing mirrors


Recommended Posts

AVF only applies to the HD trucks. 2015 1/2 ton trucks no need for the jumper harness.

 

 

You have a 2014? You would need the jumper harness. All trucks need door harnesses.

Yes. A 2014 Z71 bought October 31 of 2014 brand new

Just got home from getting mine installed. I have a 2015 (May 2014 build) non avf 2500hd. I had to buy door harnesses and a jumper. All lighting works except for the white leds in reverse. I'll call the dealer tomorrow and see what they have to say about that, I was confident and didn't think to check them at the dealer.

 

I'll get a chance to check the heating element later tonight.

Did you try turning on your cargo light? That's how my reverse lights in the mirrors work.

I have been watching this thread for a while. I decided to pull the trigger, and ordered the trailer mirror kit with the door harnesses. I have an appointment this Friday for the dealer to install them. I cant wait to finally have these mirrors installed. From what I can tell my truck should be a AVF truck, the tag on my door sill says 11/14, but I don't see AVF code on the glove comp. door? I am hoping for full functionality... we will see

Got the mirrors installed today. Full functionality! the L.E.D. markers and signals are surprisingly bright at night.

Are you using the markers as clearance lamps or turn signals? If clearance lamps, do you have any idea which wire you (or the installer) tapped into? Thanks!

I have a 2015 2500 LTZ with the tiny power fold mirrors.

 

Can anyone confirm if I can get the tow mirrors with power fold and have all the lights work when they should?

 

I gotta have power fold.

My mirrors work as factory spec. Clearance lights on the front of the mirror come on with truck clearance lights, there are signals in the mirrors that come on with the signals. The white LEDs come on with the cargo lights in park or reverse

Yep, I was aware of this.

 

They only stay on in Park and Neutral once I go into reverse they turn off. Dealer is going to take a look on Tuesday.

No power fold. To my knowledge the only way to get power fold is to order it that way.

I ordered the Chrome mirrors p/n 23372181 with door harnesses, p/n 23171572, and 23171566

Here are some quick pics. Sorry not the best quality pics, took them quick

 

These mirrors are not cheap!

Mirror kit $834.01

DR Harness $165.43

DR Harness $160.56

 

With GM discount it was still $712, $132, and $128. It also took the tech 4 hours to install mirrors and harnesses. My kit was the first my dealership had ordered and installed, In fact I had to give them the p/n's to order them. All said and done $1396.15 installed....In Canada we get screwed!

UPDATE - for anyone using the kit and door/jumper harnesses with a similar build to mine.

 

I just heard frommy dealer and he had bad news for me. Apparently with my build sheet, DL8, non-avf and pre August 2014, there is no way to override the bcm and allow the rear spotlight leds to stay on in reverse.

 

Looks like I'll have to do the diode mod or some wiring outside of the dealer through a third party.

 

Bummer

Anyone knows the p/n of the fully loaded towing mirrors? Power fold, markers and reverse lamps as well heated?

 

Will order it with my 2016 Denali 1500

You have to order the Max Trailer package to get them. I'm not sure if they offer that package with Denali or not?

    • Check the windshield washer reservoir bolt. They ALL are loose from the factory. 
    • If one can't be found, a good automotive upholstery shop should be able to replace/sew in a new panel where the damage is on the old cover. It might not be the cheapest option..
    • Does your dealer charge you for the tire rotation on top of the oil change price ?. I haven't had any service work done at my dealer yet other than when I brought it back soon after owning it to have the front end aligned to correct the steering wheel being off center a bit. Oh they called me at least twice hounding me to bring it in for an oil change and pushing a 300.00 package of oil change and tire rotation and whatever other quick simplistic checks they would do. Only going off of what a friend gets charged for his half ton for the basic oil change and its the same amount of oil as the L8T holds, it was about 150.00. Once one buys a set of tires from most shops these days or so I believe, they will do free tire rotations and some do free tire balancing as well as free tire repairs.    Certainly doing a tire rotation is no five minute job, and definitely not at home but because I run a set of winter tires on their own wheels, I swap them at home and its a one tire at a time deal because of the tire season swap although I jack up the rear and do it and drop it back down and then raise the front and do them and coordinate the tire rotation into that process for both sets of tires. I am using a floor jack though and if I need to raise both ends at once I use a couple sets of jack stands to have all four tires off the ground. I use either an air impact or battery impact and have electric impact as well so no shortage there of easy methods to spin the lug nuts, and then retorquing the lug nuts. None of it goes quick though but my wages are cheap though ... zero. I live an hour out of town, its easier just to do things like that myself than waste a bunch of time in town and having to make an appointment and probably a special trip and sit there at the tire shop waiting for them to get my vehicle in and get it done and not screw something up in the process. 
    • I do have the 8 speed.  Interestingly enough, after driving my truck for the past 2 days now, I have not had the clunking issue at all!  I am beginning to think it may have been suspension/leaf spring related, and somehow when the shop put my truck on the lift to do their initial inspection, it relieved some built up tension/pressure that was causing my problem.  I swear it felt I was a bull rider on a bucking bull the way the truck would almost rock back and forth slightly before the big thud/clunk when coming to a stop.  I am hoping I got lucky here and it's gone for good.
    • Bring it to discount tire. They do free rotations even if you didn’t buy your tires there. I didn’t believe it until I tried and they did. You can tip the employee if you would like
