I have a 16 All Terrain with heated, memory, power fold, reverse tilt, auto dimming, etc. Looking at ordering these:

What harness would I need? Sorry if it was covered already in this thread but there is a TON of info here.

 

Btw I'm located up in Manitoba Canada, I'm assuming you'll ship cross border?

 

I would like to retain all functions if possible.

 

Thanks!

For those that are curious on the work involved with the harness modification, I've created and uploaded a Time Lapse Video of the process. The original post has been updated and the video link is at

This is one of the only mirrors I know out there that supports Mirror Memory. There is one other model but think that one just comes with chrome caps.

 

Yes - I can ship to Canada. The harness set shipped to Canada is an add'l $47. However, this mirror would also need customization to its connector. I perform this service for +$100 but I have not shipped a 35lbs (50lbs. billable) box to the Canada so I don't know the shipping cost for that.

Ok thanks. It might be easier to ship to Pembina 'ND and I can run across and pick it up, only an hour or so away. Would that work?

Yes - This will retain all your features + get you a bonus Puddle Lamp that no other tow mirror has. I can such the other part # if you want chrome caps.

Thanks! There are no Power Telescoping Tow Mirrors out for these trucks. OEM mirrors are also manual telescoping.

Will this fit on mine? I'm looking and I dont see 2017 listing there.

How is the the quality compared to the OEM ones? These are $524 for a pair while the cheapest DQS runs like $450 each and caps are chrome which I prefer black. I think I will give them a shot. PM me for the harness please. Thanks

PM Sent. Mirrors are made very well. I had the opportunity to take them apart and compare the parts side by side. I've only tested the 1A Mirrors for short periods of time and mainly of functionality. I noticed a little vibration on the upper mirror and have attributed that to not installing the 4th stud. I've also heard OEM mirrors also have a slight vibration on the upper.

 

I posted pics in previous posts of the comparison on this thread.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.

      Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.

      PPE Transmission Pan Install

      By GMC4Zee · Posted

      With this new pan, do you still use the same procedure to check the level? Its a deeper pan and our trucks do not have a fill tube/dipstick. So fill till fluid runs out the check plug?
