I have a 2016 Silverado w/t with only power option. I am wanting to upgrade to tow mirrors and would like to know what my options are. I would love to go to the new 2016 tow mirrors with blinkers and led but I need to know if that is an option. Does anyone have any info on this and maybe someone has a diagram of my wiring harness and the 2016 tow mirror diagram. Thanks in advance

Do you have power mirrors? Not power Folding but power adjusting rather?

 

Also - If you can get me a picture of the body side door connector, I can tell you if you can. I haven't worked with a WT truck yet... but willing to get give it a shot.

 

Here is what would be involved:

 

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:

I don't know what he's working on ^^^^

But to date you have needed to swap both door harness and add the mirrors, not necessarily cheap but it can be done.
Interested to see how this goes

Even with the dl3 harnesses you still don't have 100% functionality. With pgamboa's custom harnesses, everything is plug and play. You just need the mirrors, folding switch and Phil's custom harnesses. It looks like the WT has the required pins on the body side plug. Pgamboa has the kit needed for this mod in the FS section now. All you would need is the switch.

Was there a final verdict on upgrading a WT? I have a new to me 2016 Sierra 2500 that came with newer mirrors that are not hooked up is my guess.  The truck originally came with DE2 mirrors and somebody put on mirrors that have the blinker, running lights and side lights that I know of but none of it is working.  I was needing to know how to tell what kind of mirrors I have now DPN or DQS and what I would need to activate them.  I have pin 1, 2, 3, 9, 11, and 41.

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.

PM Me. I have some several WT trucks with DE2 mirrors to Tow Mirrors and even gained power fold.

If you have power windows, you can upgrade.

Hey- I also have a 2016 Silverado 2500 HD Duramax WT- I have power windows, power locks and tow package- but no power at all to the mirrors. THe dealer tells me there is no way to upgrade- I will check the harness- thank you for the pictures!

 

BTW- if I can upgrade, what do I need to get?? And from where?

Welcome to the site.

 

He will see now that you were asking him a question.

I have done this upgrade MANY times :).

I can supply you with all you need. The kits runs around $510. Not including mirrors. This is custom door harnesses, driver door panel harness, new bezel, switch. I can also supply mirrors as well. Pricing differs from $495-$555 manual fold or $1058 for power fold.

Hello everyone. I just purchased a 2012 gmc Sierra reg cab wt. It has pw, pdl, cc, steering wheel controls but has de2 manual mirrors. Is it possible to add power mirrors. I don't need power folding although that would be nice I mainly want power mirrors with defroster if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Check out harnessdr.com.
@pgamboa has some great upgrade harnesses.
You'll have to source the new mirrors separately.
The mirror controls, as well, I'm sure.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
