Thank you for your message. This part is listed for models with OEM mirrors that are Power, Heated, Memory, Power Folding, Smoked LED Turn Signal, Spotlight, and Upgraded Puddle Lights; and for models without RPO Code K40 (Diesel Exhaust Brake). 
Provided your OEM mirrors match the listing 100% this kit is listed for your application and should not need any modification to install. 
Please let us know if you have any further questions. 
Thank you,

Autumn,

The issue is that your mirrors with the upgraded puddle lamp/memory are all the same build of 1AMRP01786. This mirror is not pinned like the Factory GM pin out is. The factory GM pinout is:

Pin 1 - Running Lamp
Pin 2 - Cargo Lamp
Pin 13 - Turn Signal

You’re mirrors are pinned as:

Pin 1 - Puddle Lamp - Orange Wire
Pin 2 - Cargo Lamp - Yellow Wire
Pin 13 - Turn Signal

The Blue wire for the Running Lamp is left un-terminated and is presumed to be hardwired to gain its functionality.

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

Just got my DL3 Mirros installed on my 2016, HUGE thanks to pgamboa for his PnP wire harness.  The plug and play function made it way to easy.  Even removing the door pannels was a breeze as he had a video showing how to do it all.  I got everything installed in about an hour and I know have; power fold, power adjust, turn signal, puddle, and heat and everything looks stock.


For anyone removing the door panel for the first time, its not that easy on the top clips...they like to hold on.  This was probably the biggest hang up for me.

 

Awesome mod to have on the truck!

So I am a new member and a Silverado owner.

I have a 2017 Silverado Z71 Allstar edition.

My problem.... The tag in glove box says I have DL8 mirrors HOWEVER they do not appear to be heated OR have the turn signal leds in the mirror.

Can I still update to the DL3 power mirrors (aftermarket ones) and have heated mirrors with the turn indicators in them?

The electrical end is a piece of cake for me and I would go with your modified harness.

I have also been thinking about add the small camera's to the mirrors while I am at it so they show up on my LCD. Im getting old and think they would be nice.

Thanks for any help

DL3 mirrors are the ones that have power fold, turn signal, and puddle lamp. Your DL8 mirrors heat function is activated with the rear defogger button.

Yes, I am going to go with the aftermarket mirrors not the GM mirrors
Tom

So not DL3 mirrors. DL3s is an RPO code for the smaller, power Folding GM Mirror. Ok, maybe we need to wait until I get back to fully qualify your upgrade path. Just to be 100% sure.

Got it. Then what you want are DQS Mirrors (If GM OEM). If aftermarket, we’ll be looking at specific models from 1A Auto/AM Auto.

Gotcha

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
