I have a 2500HD with power tow mirrors. I want to swap them for power folding non-tow mirrors. Can I simply change the mirrors and switch or will I also need to do additional wiring?

You would probably need to look at a wiring diagram of your door / mirror, and compare that to the wiring diagram of the new mirrors. You should be able to locate these diagrams on Google, but it may take some time and persistence. The electrical connectors may not match, so you may have to cut / splice.

If everything as of now is factory you should be able to switch it right over if the mirrors have the same options. It’s all plug and play once the door panel is off. I did it on my 05 1500 from the little power mirrors to power tow mirrors. It wasn’t bad, door panel was a little frustrating

Hello

I have a 2008 GMC Sierra 2500hd SLT and I've been doing research for finding out about switching out the opposite way. I have the power fold, heated, electric controlled, auto dim regular mirrors and I need the tow style.  I have found out that the mirrors and the electrical connections are the same for the 2007.5 thru to the 2013 full size GM/Chevy trucks and SUV's. After reading your post it got me curious to see if you are maybe interested in a trade of some type. If you are interested we can talk more about condition and details. If not no problem and hopefully this information will help you with your swap out.

Are your current mirrors power folding as well? If so you should be fine. Normally if you switch to power folding and didn't have it before then you have to reprogram the bcm.

On my 05 Silverado 1500 Z71 I was able to swap the OEM power adjustable, heated mirrors to electrical power adjusted, heated tow mirrors. All I had to do was simply remove old mirror (This requires removing door trim panel) and unplugging electrical connectors. Then was able to plug in new tow mirror (Same electrical connector) and put door panel back on. Works just like the OEM one. I used the ACCP tow mirrors

 

Hope this helps!

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.
