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

2016 2500HD no lighting. Just heat,power adjust. Those part numbers don't come up.

Most here want tow mirrors with the lighting. I haven't had my hands on mirrors without the lighting.

Not me. Just want to keep it simple. Would TRMRP00012 work?

I don't see any strange wiring outside of their connector so these should be good to go. No extra harnesses needed.

Currently driving a 2017 2500HD LT 4x4 DC 6.0

What about DPN to DQS? I miss the power fold feature from my previous truck.

DPN to DQS shouldn't require a harness change. However, I would take caution on this before dropping $ on DQS mirrors. I have about 50 different harness part #s documented and still get an "ah ha" moment every now and then when a new part # shows up. This is also the reason why getting stock harness back under my core program is important.

 

I haven't seen a harness set that did not come with the power fold circuits already present in the harness.

 

If your DPN mirrors have Turn, Cargo, and Park lamps functional, you should be ok.

 

I would like to see pics of the connectors to verify what terminals are present/missing.

 

Feel free to PM me if you want to dig into this further.

 

Thanks!

Thanks Phil. I'd also need the switch assembly and the trim plate for the door. Sounding pretty pricey to get power folding. :(

Are your DPN Mirrors not power adjust mirrors now? You should already have the trim bezel and buttons to adjust your mirrors. If that's the case, you'll just need a new switch. These are the three different switches out there.

 

If you don't have the switch on the left, them I'm confused as to the mirror you have.

Wow your in the game. Guys like yourself are priceless when it comes to electrical gremlins in a vehicle. Mirror made easy.

Not a problem sir. It is my pleasure and hope to help as many people here achieve their mirror upgrade desires.

Makes more sense once I saw the pic of the entire trim plate.

I need a switch that is $30 - $50 depending on which one I need and the mirrors.

This is what I cam up with for the mirrors. https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/gm-mirrors-trailering-chrome-23372181/?c=Zz1leHRlcmlvciZzPWFwcGVhcmFuY2UmYT1jaGV2cm9sZXQmbz1zaWx2ZXJhZG8tMjUwMC1oZCZ5PTIwMTcmdD1sdHomZT02LTBsLXY4LWZsZXg%3D

In the description it doesn't mention the features the mirror contains. $565 each! Holly cow! My take offs better be worth something. They are only a month old.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
