Hi all

About 3 weeks ago I wrecked my 07 canyon. I played chicken with a pine tree and nobody calls me chicken. Anyway insurance sent me a check and I bought this sweet lil 05 Sierra , 32000 miles, tow package, air leveler, for 10.5 k. An old fella owned and I bought it from his son.

I have a problem though and it's driving me nuts. The truck has ss aftermarket mirrors. The mirrors move when I back up and I have to readjust them. wtf?. It doesn't matter if the selector switch is in the center or selecting either left or right, they both move. Anyone ever heard of this?

Could the mirrors have "curb tilt" that tilts the mirrors down when in reverse? Might be a way to disable?

IIRC

 

Some cars / trucks have a feature that tilts the side mirror down when you shift into reverse ... suposedly so you can see the curb when backing up (?) My 2003 lincoln had that option but could be shut off in the instrument cluster selections. Probably find a wire from the the reverse lights that trigger it (somewhere) ...

My 15 Sierra mirrors do this while in reverse. I've got options for both to tilt, passenger only tilt, neither tilt, and I think driver side only may be an option too. They tilt back up automatically when you take it out of reverse though. It was cool for about 5 minutes, then just got on my nerves when backing out and actually needing to see behind me. I ended up keeping the passenger mirror to tilt for parallel parking. You may have something wired up wrong in the mirrors if they are aftermarket. I would imagine there aren't any options to change the settings if they weren't oem, I could be completely wrong too.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?
