09 Silverado 1500 Question


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've tried to search this but I don't know if I'm wording my search right or if I just can't find the exact answer. I can find install instructions etc. but I can't find the answer to my question. I was just wondering if power/signal tow mirrors will bolt right up and plug in and work. My current mirrors are power mirrors but they do not have the signal. If anyone knows of a thread where all this is answered I wouldn't mind if you sent links my way but for some reason I just can't come across it. Or if you know of a fix to make them work or what I would have to do let me know I would really appreciate any info or for anyone to point me in the right direction. Thanks

Found the answer to my question, they'll work. Did a bit more digging around, so anyone with the same question hopefully this helps.

i tried this with my truck back when i was still working for dealer, yes they bolt up but they did not plug in for me. i didn't have the right door switch panel that they plug into. the switch had the plugs for power windows locks and power mirrors but not the correct plug in port for turn signals. before you start i would suggest looking at the switch panel for the mirror to plug in.

I did this on my 2011 power fold but no signal stock mirror. Upgraded to towing mirror with signal. Worked fine with no other parts or wires, connectors, etc other than what was connected to the new mirrors. Very easy install if I remember correctly.

    • This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com. 
    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
