And mine are guaranteed to work, or your $ back :). Most other places won’t take electrical items back or charge a restock fee.

I am knee deep in work right and can check on these later tonight when I get home.

Once you have the mirrors you will wonder how you made it without them lol

I had them in my old truck. I'm just wondering if I should spring for the towing mirrors this time. They really are superior

Yeah if you tow i would defiantly go with the tow mirror.  My dad has them on his truck, and you are right they are far superior.  I just don't tow much so couldn't justify them, plus I got my dl3 mirrors for $150 so couldn't pass up that deal. Good luck with whichever route you go, but for sure get @pgamboa to make you a harness.  He is great to deal with, and his harnesses are truly plug and play.

I tow during the summer when we go camping the towing mirrors are cheaper too. If I could get the dl3 mirrors cheap I'd prolly pick them up!

Pgamboa,has a fool proof system to convert you mirrors . The past 3 I converted was using his harnesses . Absolutely fool proof and his tech support skills are second to none!

Welcome to the forum Arctic Blue,

 

I have a new thread that should have all your questions answered about this upgrade.

 

http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/198157-2014-2017-dl8-dl3-towing-mirror-upgrade-mirrors-explained/

 

It's a long thread, but in a nutshell, your DL3 harnesses will not work. As it stands, you'll have lighting, no fold, no control of passenger, and some control of driver.

 

Upgrading from DL8 to DL3 Mirrors is not a GM Supported upgrade. So there are no harnesses to make this plug and play offered by GM. The thread above should explain and provide you options. I sell a custom plug and play harness to make this happen for you. That's all you should need.

 

Hope it helps.

How do I get ahold of you to get the harness I need? 

2018 Silverado LT. Standard mirrors. DL8. I'll be getting the DL3 mirrors shortly.

Send me a PM and will validate your truck build. Then I’ll provide ordering instructions to move forward.

Thanks!

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
