Just wanted to bump this thread for another satisfied customer of the plug and play harness. Phil (pgamboa) was great to work with and his harness was perfect! I wouldn't have even tried this mod without his help. Very happy with how it came out. Thanks again Phil! 0051ad0af07aa8b1ce8e8514197c8833.jpg491451fdc7861eb8731855589b0803b5.jpg1856bfd888effb74b9a9767bbb12b8a4.jpg

Hey pgamboa... Been debating on doing this mod. looks great. I currently have 2016 Silverado 2500HD LT midnight edition with black towing mirrors. I'm going to buy the power fold towing and would like to try your harness. Have you dealt with any 2500HD trucks yet? I'm willing to be your test subject and make it work on my truck. I believe I also need to change my switch as well on my door panel. thank you

Hey there. I have helped several LT 2500HD members. I would need a picture of your door connector. Fairly certain you'll have what you need for a successful swap. Mostly 2014 and early 2015 had trouble as the connector in the door hinge (body side) was the culprit for not having the pins loaded - this requiring the RZY Harness.

 

If you open the Driver Door. You'll see this boot/connector. Remove this connector. I don't need a picture of the connector itself but would need to see its mate. With the connector removed, use your phone and try to take a couple of shots (might need more than one to capture all the pins) that show the pins.

Here is what it would look like:

These are the pins we are looking for:

Oh wait - you already have (Non-Folding) Towing Mirrors and all you want to do is upgrade to Power Folding Towing Mirrors? If so, all you would need is the Power Folding switch. The Fold circuits should already be pinned in your harness.

Does your current mirror have the Turn Signal, Cargo Lamp, and Park Lamps already operational?

Yes everything is operational. The dealer installed the harness and non fold trailer mirrors as part of deal in me buying the truck. It came with the basic mirrors with the truck.

You should be good to go then.

Another happy customer of the pnp harness!! I must say they work like a charm and look just as good as the originals that I pulled out of my truck but beyond the great pnp harnesses and the looks and functionality the best part of it all is the support u get from Phil (pgamboa) he's always there when u need him regardless what time it is and what ever the question is he will find a way to answer the question and give you the best solution!! I will definitely recommend this pnp harness to anyone that asks worth every penny!! I did both harnesses and added the circuits for auto dim rear view as well as the circuits to add the folding module (ordered 3 and wrong ones) lol... so I'm waiting on that. But over all it's all working like a charm!! Thanks again phill for all your help and guidance!!

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
