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.

With power fold?

 

Any idea the kit/part # used?

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.

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?

    • That should answer the maximum depth difference between the stock and the PPE so its not hugely lower. As to the PML pan, they don't make any claims that it fits the L8T with the same transmission and in fact leave their information confusing, however on the surface it says "for Duramax" and so its hard to say. I know a while back and not sure which brand it was that specifically stated that the extra capacity pan that particular company made did NOT fit the gas version. 
    • There are several versions of the 5100's. Some for stock height, some for leveled, some for lifted.    Side note. I finally had a chance to tow with my 30' gooseneck with about 10,000 lbs of material on it this past week. Hands down the 5100's made the trailer towing much more stable and comfortable. I even had 10 cmu blocks in the bed. What a difference over the stock shocks. 
    • According to PML, the stock pan is 4.3" deep - (PML info): Dimensions: at deepest area, PML pan is 7 inches, stock pan is 4.3 inches    PPE is 5.4" so roughly 1.1" deeper than stock
    • I had not realized that PPE has come out with a version of a cast aluminum oil pan specific to being able to fit onto the 10L1000 with the L8T engine sometime this spring. I was doubting that anyone would come out with something beyond what Dorman had in more of a direct factory pan swap. I see from one comment that is on the PPE site that they found the pan to be tighter to install then the factory unit and having to flex the exhaust down to fit it. I didn't lookup any specs if they have any as per how much lower it hangs but as it holds more oil and has fins outside the pan it would no doubt hang a certain amount lower.    I looked back at the site and they do have some depth measurements to get a rough comparison to the factory pan total height or hang down if you will at the front and rear of the pan so that will give a good idea how much further down this pan would end up being for ground clearance issues.    2024-2026 GM 6.6L Gas 10L1000 Heavy-Duty Cast Transmission Pan – Pacific Performance Engineering    
    • I'm in constant amazement over the number of people that do oil maintenance by how they feel, what they were told, what materials cost, what brand A claims vs brand B.     Come to think of it, this behavior isn't exclusive to oil. 🤔 They drive this way too. 😬   There is a 20 plus page thread on BITOG on Mobil 1 Advanced Clean vs Valvoline Restore and Protect it would be amusing if it were not so........humanly pitiful.   Last Sunday we were are sitting at services and listening to a speaker talk about Jesus parable of the wide and narrow gates and he said something that hadn't dawned on me but totally fit the way people in general are about just about everything. He said there are so few people on the narrow path leading to a good reward not because the the narrow gate was hidden or hard to find but because the wide gate leading to a bad end it so darn easy and uncomplicated to follow!!!
