Ok I’m adding the 15 conversion tow mirrors on my 02 2500hd it didn’t come factory with heated mirrors my question is...  I have a empty toggle switch with power already ran could I just run power straight out to the mirrors Change relays to the one I need and be good to go? or does it need a voltage drop

i would think on a 12v system that they would need 12 volts.

Do you have a REAR sliding window on your truck? OR a Flat fixed mirror? Does it have a Rear defrost?  ( switch on right side lower of the controls below the heater..) ?? IF you have a rear window defroster, the heated mirror are activated from that circuit and timed with it. SO Tap in the fuse box to that fuse, and use that switch to operate them. If you dont agree, look in your owners manual and it will tell you how to defrost your mirrors with the rear defrost switch.

 After I converted I leveled my new mirrors , ran the blinker to the parking wire and the side lights to reverse. GM now uses the outside LED's from the "CARGO" light switch. I prefer Reverse

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Correct.  2019-2020 are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.   The recall engines 2021-2024 are serviced with 12740076.     What the difference is between the two, I'm not sure, but 2019-2020 only show 19420611 as the replacement engine p/n.

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.
