I have a pair of DL8's if anyone is interested. I just performed pgamboa's conversion to DQS. Mine are factory painted the 2015 ice blue color. Open to offers rather them sitting in a box collecting dust. Please pm me if interested.

All,   Due to the overwhelming interest in folks wanting to upgrade their mirrors, I wanted to start this thread, hopefully, with all the information pertaining to the process of upgrading y

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

I know a local member who had his passenger side mirror taken out. If I recall, his driver side is good. He upgraded to two mirrors. Let me check with him.

Just updated the 1st post to include a comparison of a GM Factory Tow Mirror against a 1A Auto Tow Mirror.

 

Enjoy!

I don't know if there is a picture thread for '14, but 2014 - 2017 are all the same body style and mirrors.

Yeah, you're right. I was just wondering if there was a thread that had pictures of the trucks with tow mirrors specifically, so that i could see some different views.

So I did the DL3 power folding mirrors to my 2011 GMC SIERRA with the two relays for the power fold part wired to an on off on toggle switch and also did the puddle light mod (two orange with white stripe) to my dome light wire. This is all in the white connector. I'm curious what are all the other wire colors for in the white connector?

Does the 14-17 have a white connector? I know when I bought my mirrors there was a black connector and white connector.

On the harness side, 18-pin connector is black on both sides.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
