If your truck did not come with power fold or memory, your trim should not be an LTZ. Likely an LT.

But send me a PM. DQS is Power Fold. I can source these from my supplier for $1058. Switch is $70. Harnesses are $285. $1413 total. $100 is refunded if you send me your factory harnesses.

Phil, I think I'm in the above situation: 2018 LTZ/Texas Edition with DL3-memory.  Want GM chrome DQS with OEM functionality.  Am I correct in assuming that I need the above mirrors with your harnesses?  Are the above prices still valid?  Plug and play in doors only?  PM you?

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

What is the part number for the female pins. I have all of the wiring just need the female pins to finish the wiring. Sorry if it has been asked before. I did a search but couldn’t find the answer.

Good afternoon,

I have a 2018 LTZ with power fold, turn signal, courtesy light, heat and auto dimming. 

if I get the OEM mirrors from the dealership will I need to replace the harness to get full functionality?

The dealer says they can order the harness but not sure if it would be the correct one based on what i have read in this thread.

Hi,  I have a 2017 Silverado High Country with the DL3 and A45 options.  I want to upgrade and install the 1A Auto 1AMPR01786 towing mirrors.  Am I going to need one of your custom harnesses or will I be PnP?

I switched my dl8 mirrors for dl3 mirrors using Phil’s harness now sometimes the passenger mirror doesn’t fold until I hit the button a couple times. Any thoughts

What would you say the frequency of this issue occurring? In the last 2.5 years of having this done this upgrade, mine didn’t respond 2 or 3 times.

During the cold months, if there is ice build up, if resistance is felt, they may not fold/unfold. This was the time when I experienced this issue.

I just put the same set of mirrors on my 2014 with same options except chrome caps.  I have some harnesses on order from @pgamboa  but couldn't wait to get them installed once I opened the box.  Right now I've got the RZY harness installed and will finish the job once the  door harness kit gets here (to make the spot and marker lights functional) .  Gotta tell ya, these are some quality mirrors and made all the difference in looks and function.  I think you are going to be really happy with this mirror set.  I think they look better than the GM upgrade mirrors.  Really happy that the mirror/seat memory works too!   Good luck with your project.

Got my GM OEM tow mirrors installed and everything works great. Is there a way to add puddle lights like on the 1A tow mirrors?

My mirrors arrive Monday and am waiting for the new harnesses from Phil.  Looking forward to getting these new mirrors installed..

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      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.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
