I just bought a 2014 Silverado lt I got a auto dimming mirror installed but I guess they are pre wired anymore for this option the onstar works but I guess it lacks at least 2 wires a power and the backup I would think it would share the same ground as the onstar portion of the mirror died the roof wiring used to plug on the junction box on the bottom side of the dash. The same box that the trailer controller plugs into it

They are not Plug and Play.

 

You are missing Power.

 

I have a thread on how to wire this up like Factory. The additional (2) auto Dim circuits are only needed if you plan on upgrading your mirrors to DL3. The driver's side DL3 has auto Dim built in but relies on these two circuits from the rear view mirror.

 

The backup circuit only disables auto dim when in reverse to provide the best visibility. You can omit that if you want.

 

Here is my complete thread on the retrofit.

Dang It's Tim. Before I read your post, I thought the exact same thing.

 

Thankfully pgamboa took two semesters of heiroglyphics when he was in school...

Man, the OP's post is hard to decipher! Take a breath and use a period every now and then.

it's kind of like when someone's trying to talk when they're out of breath.

Thank you for quick reply. I’ll have to try and figure out how to go about this. 

@pgamboa sells an awesome wiring kit to make this happen. I highly recommend his products.

Wasn’t the OP talking about rear view mirror?  Not the side mirrors. Is the rear view mirror on the windshield wired for plug and play to upgrade to auto dim on 2017 Sierra?

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
