Hi guys, first post.

Long story short, i have owned 4 GMC from 1999 to 2008, and 3 Ford from 2008-2016.

Just got back into GMC, they started financing businesses again! So out with Ford lol.

To be clear they always have, but when GMAC transformed into ALLY, they wanted me to personally co-sign truck, which is a hassle when you own a few business trucks.

 

Here i have a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500.

It came with regular mirrors, which i have temporarily replaced with manual tow mirrors.

The dealer wanted 2000$ to install electric tow mirrors as they said i had to change wiring.

They had the new style tow mirror, which i don't care much for. But i do need tow mirrors.

 

My original mirrors we're manual fold, power adjust, and quite possibly heated.

I am looking for tow mirrors compatible with my setup.

Thanks in advance for the help!

 

Specs : 2016 GMC sierra, Kodiak SLE Z71

Thanks i saw that thread, when googling my question it brought me to that thread and got me joining the forums.

That thread is closely focused on the new HD mirrors, which i more or less care for.

I just want tow mirrors (old style or new style) that fits my wire harness.

 

I will re-read this thread just in case i have missed the answer to my question...

One way to check is to get on Ebay and do a mirror search. Many mirrors to look at and most will give you an application guide to see if they will work for your year,make and model.

Thanks!

This worked indeed, as Ebay ads show connector.

I wonder how jobers fare compared to a GM mirror, if it's clean or gives a distorted image.

But this just opened lots of options for me, i tend not to use Ebay enough.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉

      I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.
