Phil,

Yes my truck does have the button on the lower right corner of the HVAC control panel for the heated mirrors only. Lights up and heats the mirrors when I depress it and shuts off on it's own after some unknown period of time if I forget to !!

Very cool. I’ll look at the schematics again. I’m starting to think it’s the same circuit for both driven from the same button. Thanks!

Hi, I have a 2015 Silverado 1500 LT, front and back defrost, powered mirrors and manual fold. I'm wanting to eventually get tow mirrors with lights, and might as well get it heated too. Would the heat option sync into the rear defrost as I'm seeing in the comments?

 

Looking at options on sites like rock auto or 1aauto that are compatible to my truck but don't specify the trim needed, should they work fine? I'd like the lights to work atleast

Hey Phil,

Are you still helping folks add heated mirrors to their LTs? Honestly I took them from granted in my previous truck and didn’t realize how important they were.

This one is probably a little difficult.

The heat circuit at the door jamb that gets delivered to the mirror ties into the rear window defrost. So if you don’t have rear window defrost, you will not be able to gain this on the mirror.

I don’t know of a workaround to accomplish this.

Hello, I have a 2016 Silverado 1500 LT and have the heated rear defrost option. I recently installed a set of towing mirrors that have the heated mirror, turn signal indicators, and the LED puddle lights. The motor to move the mirror works great but would be real interested in getting the other features working. Is this possible? 
 

Thank You!

Good afternoon, my wife just purchased me a 2014 GMC Sierra SLT 1500. I want to upgrade the mirrors to tow mirrors with cargo lights, turn signals and power fold if possible. Heated would be nice, but I don't know if I'll be able to get any of these functions to work because the stock mirrors are manual fold and power adjustment only... I see many options online to purchase the tow mirrors, but don't really know which ones to buy and I also see a stand alone harness that's supposed to make it plug and play, but I'm not sure it will work with my truck.

 

The build date is 10/13 if that helps...

 

Can anyone help me with the right mirrors at a reasonable price and also guide me in the right direction to make the mirrors work...?

 

Thanks in advance!

I have successfully added heated mirrors to my 2014 wt no rear defrost or heated mirror option. it was alot of work but can confirm rpo code of truck and it works. had to reprogram hvac module after all the wiring and swap out fuse box as well.  I took a picture of power to wire feed when hitting defrost button.  I just need a bcm reprogram for the windows and heated seats and fog light for next project.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.
