So I have a '14 1500 SLT that means I would have to get the ecm calibration? Also how hard is it to modify factory harness with the diy kit?

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

If you have power Folding mirrors now, no calibrations have been required. Since you’re 2014, you’ll have the added work of needing/installing the RZY Jumper harness in addition. Your door jamb, cabin side will not have the cargo and running Lamp circuit pins present... so you’ll have to land those.

I bought some power folding, turn signal dl3 off a Sierra Denali but I’m gonna do oem tow mirrors instead. Anyone want these mirrors? I haven’t had enough posts to add it to the for sale area yet but I figure most everyone looking here is in this post for mirror related things anyway

Has anyone ordered and installed the deluxe power everything and memory tow mirrors from 1A Auto lately?  I have contacted them about the crossed blue wires, and they are saying their inventory is fine.  Just thought I'd ask real quick before I pull the trigger.  Thanks!

Just completed DL3 to DQS upgrade.  I had made a few attempts at local Chevy dealerships to obtain necessary parts but was dealt all sorts of bad information.

 

A few private messages to Phil @pgamboa and I was all dialed in.  Purchased harness from Phil and mirrors from GM parts supplier he recommended.  Phil even went one step further and modified the harness further for future work I have planned.

 

Harnesses arrived within a couple days, and mirrors shortly after.  Followed Phil's youtube install and things went flawlessly.  Phil's knowledge of all things related to wiring were extremely helpful.  Glad I found this forum and this thread before I made the mistake of going with misinformed dealers.

 

2017 2500 LTZ process

  1. purchase Phil's harness and OEM DQS mirror
  2. swap out factory harness for Phil's modified harness - simple, follow youtube video.
  3. install DQS mirrors
  4. test and button things up 

Everything worked as expected.  Power fold, seat memory, power mirrors, turn signals, heated mirrors, all lighting.  No error codes.

 

Love the mirrors, couldn't be happier with the results.

I wanted to say thanks to Phil for helping me upgrade to towing mirrors with his custom harness.

 

Now that my upgrade is finished, I have two sets of mirrors for sale in case anyone is interested. You will need to work with Phil to get the required harness for your model.

 

Here are the pictures:

 

 

I have the used stock DL3 mirrors for sale from my Black LTZ (in great condition), which include power fold, indicator, dimming, memory, heating, and puddle lamps for ***SOLD***

 

I also have a set of brand new unopened Silverado Towing mirrors that have all of the options (without diesel sensor). They are AM Autoparts part number AM-2558332961 or 1A Auto part number 1AMRP01786for  ***SOLD***

https://www.1aauto.com/search?q=TR00082&year=2015&model=1716

 

Please PM me if you are interested, if I don't get any takers I am going to put them up on ebay. I am also going to list these in the for sale section.

Thank you the feedback! Glad it all worked out the first time, with my upgrade path.

      Differential covers

      By RJL1 · Posted

      I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      By Another JR · Posted

      Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.

      There are a lot of spammer's that do that, quote something and add some commentary to make it seem legit, but modify the quoted text a bunch making sure when posted it's long enough to be "click to expand", and either immediately insert a spam link, or come back after some time and edit it to add the spam link.

      Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
