No I can't. Sorry I was being a smart ass. But those look hideous.

 

The OEM tow mirrors look way better and probably have better visibility.

Have any of you tried these? It's the best design I've found online so far.

I have a set of these but I only use them once a year when pulling my enclosed trailer while on my Hunting trip. They work just fine for backing up and they fit well with no vibration at highway speed. I had used them on my previous vehicle, that is why I purchased another set. Easy on and easy off they get the job done but if you are looking to use them full time I would look at factory tow mirrors. The price is good :driving:

I had a pair on my 2013 and they worked rather well. They do look very wide but function very well. The crazy mirror on the end really takes the blind spot away.

I used something similar on my 02 Av when hauling the sled trailer. They worked fine no issues. easy on easy off.

These will be used 4 or 5 times a year and should be sufficient. Thanks!

I had slide on tow mirrors for my last tow vehicle. My issue with them was that every time the door was open and shut, the mirror had to be readjusted. They would not stay in place. And is wasn't like we were slamming the doors. Anyone have these issues with these mirrors. I really wish that I had purchased a Silverado with the factory tow mirrors. Right now that is my big regret in what I didn't get for my truck. After thinking about it, why isn't tow mirrors included with the tow package. I know that the price would be higher due to the cost, but come-on if you are buying a truck with a tow package, they are going to have to have towing mirrors. Its not like that is an optional item.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By clowe1243 · Posted

      Got the truck back today.  Called them yesterday to get an update, and miraculously my truck is finished?!?! The $13k out the door was complete bullshit!  Ended up being over $14k.  They added some bullshit service bulletin that I cant even find, where they replaced my radiator without telling me or asking me, and charging me for it.  Need to do more research into it, cause they leaked the first delivered radiator was ran over by FedEX.  Sounds like bullshit to me. 2.5 Months for an engine swap, which ended up being remanufactured, not new; ****ing ridiculous.  Brakes are squishy as hell, not sure if its from sitting.  Will give a couple days to see it that figures it self out.  GAVE IT BACK TO ME WITH 1 GALLON OF GAS!  Just filled the tank the day before drop off, more bullshit.  My dash cam SD card was formatted, not really much I can do about that. 3 year, 100k GM warranty at least.  Time to sell it and say **** off to GM.  Bad experience.  Cant wait for the survey email to come through.  Overpriced Raptor R, here I come!

      If I forget the phone in the truck, and forget the truck in the phone, and reconnect.  It works great for the day.  Truck sits overnight, and the next day is a no go.  It will connect Android Auto via usb cable, but not bluetooth.   Ive tried Everything in this thread so far, and nothing works for more than a day.   I think I might have to go to the dealer and have them flash the pcm.   thanks for all the suggestions guys. 👍

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      2022 2500HD Crew Z71 Duramax single alternator.  Recently had the primary (water pump / fan) belt tensioner pulley bearing to fail while hundreds of miles from home of course the plastic pulley melted and belt shredded which took out some wiring. Found a replacement tensioner assembly and belt to continue now would like to find a replacement for just the pulley and bearing to have a spare assembly in case of a repeat, the rest of the tensioner is fine. Has anybody here found a correct replacement part for just the pulley and bearing? Any help is appreciated.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Atlas · Posted

      +1 for the 3.0   Perfect for 1500 pickup towing duties.   Perfect engine for a 1500 pickup period. Huge torque at stunningly low RPM makes it feel a lot lighter than it is. The fuel mileage is insane for a tall and heavy 1500... 30+ on the highway. Mid 20's around town.   It's probably not perfect if you bought a 6.2 for the braaaaaaapppppp V8 noises and wrapping it out to 6k. The LZ0 acts and sounds like a small turbo diesel and there's nothing you can do to make a small turbo diesel sound like a big one, and you can't make an inline diesel sound like a V8 diesel/big Duramax. It's a different driving experience altogether.   Drive one, I think you'll like it, though...

      I'll bet your truck lost the bearings on a roller on 1 of the lifters, and now is wiping out a cam lobe.
