Hey everyone. I am new to the forum and just recently picked up my new 2016 Sierra SLT - Crew Cab. When I get a chance, I will post some pictures of it!

 

One thing I wanted to do is take the "baby" mirrors off of the truck and replace with the towing mirrors. I talked to the service department at the "stealership" and they quoted $1400 to replace the mirrors. The replacement mirrors would be power but only to adjust the mirror and not power folding like the ones I have now. Has anyone swapped their mirrors and is it better to go with aftermarket so I can get some that fold like the stock ones?

 

TIA!

The factory power folds are $1400 just the mirrors. You still need both front door harnesses. 23351794 and 23241467 are the mirror numbers. The non power folds are $725 for the chrome, and those are sold as a pair. Its another $250 for door harnesses with either mirror.

you should double check what the dealer is saying by looking at your RPO codes - most of the SLTs off the lot come with powerfolding capability and these would work with the tow mirrors as long as you get the harnesses....

If you have power fold mirrors the factory power fold tow mirrors will work. Like was said above you will need the harnesses. Look in the For Sale section and there is a thread on 2014/ 2015 Power Fold Tow mirrors. The factory mirrors are of good quality. I would go with them.I installed them on my 2015 GMC.

They told me I couldn't do the power folding ones regardless. I was looking at these online and they are much cheaper. http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/gmc/sierra-1500/23241465/2016-year/slt-trim/5-3l-v8-gas-engine/body-cat/outside-mirrors-scat/?part_name=mirror-assy&position=left

 

If you have an SLT, you just need the proper door harnesses for an SLT truck that came with tow mirrors and then the power fold mirrors themselves. Best ones to get are ones off of an HD truck with the DQS mirrors with gas engine. Do you have memory seats?

Yes, I have memory seats. I have the SLT with the premium package.

So, those mirror numbers above, and then door harnesses 23342716 and 23171564 should do it.

ALL trucks need new door harnesses.

I put aftermarket tow mirrors on my 2015 double cab z71 4x4 silverado a few weeks ago. Power glass and heated. Direct plug and play into the existing harnesses. I think I paid around $225 for them and they're great.

 

I did have to drill an extra mounting hole in the door. The instructions said I could have just removed the extra stud but as much work as it was to put them on I figured I'd go ahead and mount them securely since they felt pretty heavy.

The biggest problem was re-installing the aggravating door panels, it's really a 2 person job.

 

Here's a link to the mirrors I bought, I hope it isn't against the rules:

      The Peckish Synapse

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
