So I've been following this thread for over a year. The wealth of knowledge here is tremendous. My truck is a very early '15 GMC SLT 2500HD. DOM 3/14. I have DL3, AY0, and A45 RPO codes. I don't use the memory seat function since I'm the only driver. The seat is set and doesn't move when I enter or exit the vehicle. What is the need for the camper harness and are the charts above still accurate when it comes to the early trucks such as mine? Thanks!

Hey there. There is definitely a lot to consume here with this upgrade. Based on the two very distinct differences between the higher trims LTZ/High Country & SLT Denali versus the lower LT/SLE trims, it is very hard to follower for sure.

 

I can try to help as much as possible. If you are able to provide me with a photo of the connector removed in the door hinge. I can try to Guide you in the right direction. Did you already purchase any mirrors?

If you can get me a shot of the body side of the connector, this will help me understand what your needs will be. I'll be happy to build you a custom harness that will be backed by a $ back guarantee (minus shipping costs), if it doesn't work.

 

Let me know how I can help.

 

Thanks!

Thanks so much! I haven't bought the mirrors yet as I'm still confused as to what functionality I will have if I make the change. If I don't get power folding and everything but puddle lights I'm probably not going to do it. Power folding is a must have feature for me.

I've helped a handful of folks on the higher trim levels and from my experience, Power Folding and Seat Memory Functions have been retained.

 

I am currently helping another member that is a 2015 HD model and will have results soon.

 

For those upgrading to Towing Mirrors, I will say that there is a GM Supported upgrade for this to happen. I haven't figured out yet what the BCM/Memory Module Calibrations actually do as they haven't been required on those I've helped even though Retrofit Compatibility Chart said they were needed. And since there is confusion between the requirements of the higher and lower trim models, the calibration requirement is speculation at this point, at least from my perspective, since we have been successfully upgrading mirrors for several members now, without needing calibrations.

 

My advice to you - If you are able to get some mirrors, check on the ability to return them if you change your mind or they don't work out. I'll gladly help you out with a custom harness with a $ back guarantee... if you don't get the desired result.

 

If there is indeed a BCM and/or Memory Module calibration required, this is ONLY achievable by going the GM Supported route. Please check with your local dealer for the requirements, as for what I've read, authorization #s and/or serial #s that are needed for the calibration are found on the "mirror kits" you get from the dealer.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help. There have been so many P/Ns thrown around over the course of the year I need to figure out which ones are the ones I need and the best source to get them.

I am sure this has been answered 50 times, but I am a little slow. lol I have called 4 dealers and gotten 4 different answers. I have a 2016 Silverado LTZ Z71 and want the chrome power folding tow mirrors. The number the Dealer I got the truck from say mirror pn. 23372181 is the chrome power fold, the web disagrees. Does anyone have the correct number? They say I need harnesses 23342727, and 23342716. Do those seem correct? Thank for any help, sorry to ask this question that you have probably already answered before.

I just completed the DL3 to DQS mod on my brand new 2017 GMC Sierra Denali.

 

Like you I have the DL3 and A45 RPO codes.

 

The parts I used were:

 

Drivers door:

Harness - 23342727

Tow Mirror - 84041609

 

Passenger door:

Harness - 23342716

Tow Mirror - 84041611

 

According my my fleet manager & parts manager these are the "latest" parts

 

This should be exactly what you need.

These updated part numbers are correct! Don't forget, for anyone upgrading to the OEM mirrors, you'll need two extra nuts for the 4th bolt you'll have to drill for. Part number 25601643

Well, since I just took a bunch of pics after the lift was put on last week, I'll throw one up.

These are the DQS mirrors that I swapped out the chrome covers for the black covers, no chrome for me.

Totally agree, chrome is terrible, and obnoxious, and not in a good way. Just my opinion, no intention to insult chrome-lovers. My truck came with the all-chrome grill, took it off, got the Rally Edition grill put on. I'm pretty much done with mods on mine, but I am going to have my chrome bumpers vinyl wrapped in the silver ice metallic paint code color. If I could, I'd cover every bit of chrome left on my truck. Never liked it.

There's a pic of it in my sig, at the bottom of my posts, but here's a closer look at it. Mine is a 2015, so I've never looked into grill replacements on the 16 and 17, and you have a 16. But, the Rally Edition grill, is your paint scheme for the trim and black in the grill part. Absolutely love the way this looks on the truck, better than the chrome. You'll have to check, but from looking at pics of the 16 and 17 front ends, it looks like your grill and headlamp frames are all one piece - I could be wrong. They are separate on the 14-15 model. So, you'll need to look into that. If anything, just get your chrome vinyl wrapped. Detail guys are getting real good at that, and the material seems to hold up great in inclement weather, based on other vehicles I've seen with it. So, that's an option. But, if you can get a 16 grill by itself, just research the GM parts store or have your dealership help you find it. I think it was $280 and some change.

Great thread - I just got a new/used 2016 Sierra All Terrain HD. Unfortunately it came with the small mirrors and I bought the truck for towing a 30' trailer.

Looking at my Codes it appears I have the A45 and DL3 Combo. I also have memory seats, memory exit, the mirrors are power fold, they have the flood light too.

 

Just looking for someone to confirm which mirrors I should be buying (Canadian) and that I don't have to drill holes to accommodate these? I do have power fold and have the truck bed lights (hopefully I have the mirror lights too as those things are awesome). I drove a '15 HD that had them once and loved having them.

 

I think i'd prefer to keep chrome on them - but not a deal breaker.

 

To repeat, I've got A45, DL3 and also AY0 (I saw someone above mention that one). The mirrors are currently power fold, power adjust, memory (memory seat) and my seat also does the easy exit memory. Not keen to drill holes in metal as I've never done something like that before.

 

Thanks everyone!

So this looks exactly what I'm looking for. Ummmm... I just realized I'm in the 1500 forum, would this all be applicable to the 2500?

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
