Temperature Sensor

[John K.]

I have a 2018 Silverado LT Z71 All Star Edition, 5.3L and 3.42 rear end.

Where would the temperature sensor be located?  I want to replace the stock mirrors with towing mirrors and I noticed the mirrors that fit my truck all state "these mirrors do not have temperature sensors".  Not fond of losing my temp readout, but I do need towing mirrors.

I'm also looking for back-up sensors without a camera.  

Thank you.

The sensors in the mirrors only applies to diesel models. They did make some major changes to adding camper mirrors to get them to function correctly, if you have the last 8 of your VIN I can tell you the correct part numbers you'd need.

Ambient temperature sensor is in the grille area on all trucks, 1/2 ton and HD.  The HD diesel trucks have a second one located in the passenger mirror that is used to monitor ambient air for emissions purposes only.  It will set a check engine light on a diesel HD if this sensor is not present. 

 

You want either 23372182 (black) or 23372181 (chrome) mirror kits.  You also will need front door harnesses both sides.  84290984 (Driver) and 84290964 (passenger) are the harnesses you need.

 

Back up sensors are pretty much a no-go unless someone has figured it out.  You'd need a new bumper, the sensors (about $200 each) and then all the wiring and proper sensor modules, and then some how make it all work.

Thanks for the info.  Are these GM numbers?

 

I was looking at these https://www.etrailer.com/Custom-Towing-Mirrors/Chevrolet/Silverado+1500/2018/KS62135-36G.html?vehicleid=20184030636

and was going to get the harnesses from pgamboa

Those are the old design mirrors.  They would work.  The numbers I posted are the GM kits and are the new style mirrors with the amber front lights, cargo lights and signals. 

 

One thing to watch for on the aftermarket mirrors, is that if you break a glass or the mirror motor goes, the GM stuff will not interchange.  We had a customer manage to get a new set of mirrors on a 2013 truck a few years ago that had aftermarket mirrors on it.  We ordered the motors originally, only to find out the aftermarket ones had some cheap crap random electrical connector in them.  The tech told parts the motors were not going to fix it, so they ordered mirrors.  Good thing GM didn't call them back as that would have burned us badly.

Thanks for all your help.  I've crossed the back-up sensors off the wish list.
