New HD Mirrors

[cat320]

i wonder how accurate the order tracker is . showing it as

• Queued For Production but not build as of right now i would think when they scan that last bar code in it would show it done ?

I have a good friend who just purchased a 2015 2500 Denali Duramax with DL3 mirrors.

He would like to do a trade for DQS tow mirrors.

If anyone is interested please PM me.

Can your friend go to the dealer and trade up for them? There is someone on here that sells them as well as on eBay.

Has any one just upgrade to the basic tow mirrors non power folding with the led lights front and back? From a standard lt truck with a gas engine.

Is it possible to upgrade from non-heated to heated? I dont have the new style mirrors and don't necessarily need the new style

Is it the truck in your profile pic? Those are heated already.

On July 4th ordered a 2015 3500HD LTZ Crew Cab long bed gasser with all the extras. Built Aug 6 & delivered Aug 19th. Has the black mirrors with heat, turn signal, & electric adjust of upper mirror; manual extend & fold.

 

Decided I wanted the new mirrors with amber parking light, backup spots & electric fold ... this has ended up as sort of "want in one hand ... sh*&^ in the other" ... not happening.

 

Here's the deal for anyone wanting to upgrade:

- 2015 prior to mid year change got "DPN" mirrors art #'s 23465676 & 23465677

The mirrors do NOT have a "AVF" break point in the harness; and there are 2-adjust controls on the arm rest (left & right)

 

- the 2015i (mid year change that went in about Aug 15) for 3500HD LTZ include "DQS" mirrors that have chrome caps & fold electrically; there is also an "AVF" break point in the harness that includes a different connector, as well as a different BCM control module & different infotainment programming (vehicle setting include folding mirror).

 

Bottom line, it would be easier, less risky, and probably cost just about as much to "swap" out mirrors as it would to "swap" out for a new 2015i truck.

 

I appreciate GM-Chevy marketing strategies & all the reasons they made a mid-year change. Missing the mid year build by a couple of weeks and not being able to easily get much more effective & easier to use trailer mirrors just makes me sad.

I upgraded to the new powerfold, chrome mirrors for roughly $900 all in. Cheaper than buying a new truck. Really wasn't that difficult, there is a very long thread on this in the for sale section. I also added the chrome belt mldgs on my LTZ 3500 so it looks just like a 2015i

Anyone else having trouble getting the rear facing LEDs to come on? I have yet to see them light up, but not sure if anything special needs to happen like be reversing in tow mode or something. I expected that they'd automatically turn on in reverse.

Activated by your cargo light switch.

Oh wow, thanks FuelHauler!

Although they can be modified to work with keyless entry as well as reverse, simple diode mod.

 

I would NOT want then on in reverse as they would be blinding. Need the light behind you.

You'll have to run your own wiring to get them to come on in reverse. They are very bright and are great for hooking up to a trailer at night. The light does not shine into the cab all.. Got mine running in reverse and as puddle lamps. Painted mine

[SMiller]

I don't believe it is wiring, I was thinking a simple wire jump (diode) would do it?

They have nothing to do with reverse.
