I did 

I do pin the door harnesses for the dimming circuits. Maybe double check continuity there?

On the 18-pin mirror connector, pin 2 (yellow) goes to pin 5 on the 41-Pin door jamb connector. Then check pin 16 (violet) to pin 6 on the 41-Pin door jamb connector.

Thanks Guys! Spent lots of time reading the Upfitter Manual to ensure I've covered all the circuits needed across all connectors to make this work. Gotta love that feeling when you put everything ba

Guys,   I have been receiving requests for a "Harness" to complete this mod. So....   I am now offering harness to support this mod. It will be a pre-made harness with the appropri

Just installed my rear view, and having same issue. Everything works perfectly except for the side mirror not dimming. I did double check the pinout and I’m pretty certain everything was according to the diagram. Have not dug back into door to check continuity though. May do it tomorrow.

Also check the back side of the X61A Junction where the circuits leave and go to the door jamb side. Also note, that the reference drawings I included are screenshots of their connectors and they are in mirror image. Not sure why so double check the landing on all pins to their slot location.

I will have to shoot you a PM Phil to get this going. I bought my DL3’s and harness from you.... might as well take advantage of your harness and get this going!

Gonna pick this up instead of starting a new thread. I have the  auto dim rear view mirror. I want that to work. Not interested in changing the side mirrors I like the factory cheapies. But the auto dim rearview....I gotta have it. 

 

What do I need just for this? Thanks in advance for the help.

Just add power to it. Pin # 2 of the mirror needs 12v to it.

kinda what I thought but best to hear from an expert. thanks Phil!!!

Keep in mind that there is a backup lamp circuit... that when added, will disable the dimming when in reverse. This is to ensure your view is not compromised when reversing.

Is the mirror part number 13584893?  Found one for sale.  

 

I ended up buying that truck yesterday.  I will post some pictures when I pick it up tomorrow. Getting a Line-X put in it today.

Bump.  Can someone confirm the part number?

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
