Hello,

 

I have a 2015 Gmc 2500 Denali HD Duramax in March 2014 which I custom ordered with the DPN mirrors. I purchased the chrome mirror kit shown in the list below which has the manual extend and manual fold. What all harness part numbers will I need? Will I need the BCM flash?

 

23387133 - HARNESS PKG - General Motors

23372181 2014-2016 SIlverado \ GMC Tow Mirrors Kit

23171567 HARNESS ?

23171564 HARNESS ?

 

Thank you in advanced!

 

Jim

Seeing the effort many are making at retrofitting these tow mirrors, all I can add is they are absolutely worth the effort being made here.

 

IME, I wouldn't own a truck without them as the OEM small stockers were woefully inadequate for DD even without a tow load. No way would I tow anything without proper tow mirrors, or worse case, clip-ons. Can you drive this truck as DD or with a hook up and get by? Sure. But IMO it would be like bringing a knife to a gunfight. Those who complain about dumbo ears are putting form over function. It aint a Ferrari.

 

For those who park in tighter spaces, the power fold-ins will get used regularly. Guys who have more room to run around and park with clearance can do without this feature.

 

YMMV. Good luck.

I just installed the new chrome tow mirrors yesterday myself. I am going from basic DL8 mirrors on my LT Silverado, According to the service bulletin I needed the mirrors, 2 door harnesses, and BCM reprograming.

 

I bought all of the parts from various online retailers, all said and done with shipping I have about $700 in parts.

 

The hardest part of the install was removing and reinstalling the door panel. Removing the clips with the weather stripping to reinstall the panel can be very temperamental.

 

replacing the wire harness was very simple. It was time consuming because you have feed everything through tight spots, especially where you connect the harness to the cab. But as long as you pay attention to how the old harness is ran it is easy to figure out where the new one is supposed to be.

 

Mounting the mirror was very simple. The kit came with the 2 extra nuts for the 4th stud, so you reuse the 3 nuts from the old mirrors in addition to the ones included in the mirror package. Drilling the hole was very straight forward, from the inside there is already a hole in the inner sheet metal. A metal step bit drilled through the outside panel like butter.

 

To my surprise all of the mirrors new features work great without any dealer BCM reprogramming. The white cargo lights even work in reverse which I have read on here some people are having trouble with even after reprogramming.

 

All said and done the new mirrors add great field of vision and look great, I would think anyone with simple mechanical skills should be able to install themselves and save a significant amount of $$$.

I just had the dealer install mine and all the lights work as well. What didn't work without the programming was the defrost function of the new mirror even though it worked on my old mirrors. GM had to send my dealer some upgraded programming to make that work.

Finally pulled the trigger on some towing mirrors after a few months of shopping and discussion, not to mention the headaches of towing with stock mirrors. Ordered some pro tuning lab ones. Hopefully they are not bad since they were cheap. If all else fails I can return them and buy the k source or gm ones

I have a 2015 Sierra HD 2500 Denali and want to install the camper style mirrors for it. My dealer quoted my the following,

 

23372181 Mirrors

23171564 Harness

23171567 Harness

 

4 hours labour for a total of 1566.97 out the door. They can't seem to answer if after doing the install and reprogramming if they will power fold ????

No, those are NOT the power folding mirrors. Those are the GM accessory kit. You have to actually order OEM replacement folding mirrors to get power folding.

 

Also, what a horrible price. They are trying to take you to the cleaner. You should be able to get those mirrors for under $600 shipped, and the harnesses for under $200 shipped. So a max of $800 for parts. Which means they are trying to take you for another $750+.

These are the OEM power folding mirrors. They require the harness for all the options, heat, fold, tilt, signals....etc.

Oh, I didn't notice the Canadia part. Yeah you guys are hurting right now.

 

I just was researching a business laptop for my friend up there. The same one that is $369 USD on Amazon.com right now is $699 CAD on Amazon.ca. I was like ouch...

Can anyone tell me if the non-powerfolding mirrors p/n 23372181 and/or 23372182 come with the k40 ambient temperature sensor that is required for diesels with an exhaust brake?

Is this for pre 2015.5 models too? Or do you need the jumper kit as well ?

I just had the tow mirrors installed on my 2016 LTZ Z71 1500. the Part numbers above are correct. I had my dealer in stall and i'm pretty sure they had no programming to do and everything works. Make sure to get the harnesses as well!

 

I had the DL3 Power folding mirrors before.

I purchased the chrome kit on eBay, including the harness. Did the install myself, 2 hrs, pretty straight forward. I had dl8 before. My shop color matched the caps. All the lights work.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      Clunk when coming to a stop... driveshaft/slip yoke? Mechanic couldn't recreate it

      By mrbflat · Posted

      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

      Best part of this video is how it resets expectations. Wonderfully done piece. It also made clear a few points I've made from day one. Detergent oils DO NOT KEEP A MOTOR CLEAN at the recommended or longer change intervals. They just get dirty slower than a non-detergent oil and there isn't spits difference between them on this point if they carry the DEXOS license. Great thing about the license that gets missed is it assures CONFORMITY even it that means a low bar.    One thing he did not talk about that I paused on an magnified was the condition of the oil ring separator. Besides a stuck ring a plugged separator and land drain back is huge when it comes control. We see in short order improvement in control IF that is the problem.    Another item I took exception to and he did not make plain was the condition of the timing chest and under valve cover having something to do with indicating piston cleanliness. Schaeffer's Oil makes that same omission in their million mile Ford video. I'm guessing he has never torn down a Red Line HP, AMSOIL SS motor that has been on that diet from the get. What he showed in the video was a good deal of varnish. Something totally absent in Peppers 165K cover off look. I smiled because he did his at the same milage.    He also makes the mistake of assuming oil temperatures in the pan are the temperature all over the motor even though he makes note of the piston being the hottest part of the engine. that baffled me a bit.    I can tell you from personal experience and witnessing teardowns of family motors that even oils of the 1960's would keep them squeaky clean when OCI's were 1500 to 2000 miles without exception. At 3K and above you get what he experienced and the longer you leave it the quicker to gets to the junkyard.    I think his is missing a opportunity not tearing it down again when he's done killing it. Time would be his only cost.

      GM discontinuing interior parts on a 5YO vehicle??

      By Z45 · Posted

      Very often the part number on the trim part is just for the vendor order/assembly plant and will not show up in the parts system.  They won't make a bunch of extra parts that were not ordered. Keep in mind, lots of these parts were made to be "just in time" parts meaning they were dedicated to a vehicles ordered and sequenced for assembly.       Also, trim parts will often say, paint to match.
