Dang I wish I would have seen this a earlier.

I bought a used set of towing mirrors and towing mirror harness last week. I'm in Chicago too and would have just swapped with you. If you need a set of power folding regular mirrors with the harness I'm planning on taking mine out as soon as the new harness arrives this week.

When I changed mine to DL3 from the factory tow mirrors I had to change both door harnesses to get them to function correctly. I have a 2015 LTZ with the max tow..

Yes that's seems to be the way to get it all working. What options make a truck max tow?

New DL3 mirrors from Chevy are 678 shipped. I was at a local dealer today and found a truck like mine with these mirrors. Im going to drive it tomorrow and see if I like them or not.

Did you price harnesses as well? I'd still be interested in swapping you with money to boot if interested.

No I wouldn't need a harness. They should be plug and play. Different size mirrors with same functionality.

Have you confirmed this before you get door apart and everything hooked up? I would think you would need the new harnesses to make everything function as should. I'm not expert but even the one listed above that went from tow to regular had to go with new harnesses. If it was just plug and play I wouldn't need new harnesses to go from the regular mirrors to the tow. Maybe Pgamboa can confirm as he has been studying these harnesses.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

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

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.
