I haven’t looked into tow mirrors yet. I’m likely going to look into whatever comes out for the 2500s although I have heard they are not going to be plug and play with the 1500s. But I’m assuming someone will make a harness that will do the trick it will just be a matter of when. 

Yeah, Im at a loss.  Towing our travel trailer over 200 miles next week and am not looking forward to not being able to see all the way down the TT.

Nothing, it’s not a T1.

That is my biggest gripe about the truck to date, no decent tow mirror options at all. Clip on slide on or otherwise. I’ve towed my tt about 1000 miles already with the shitty camco strap ons... very hard to see, lots of vibration

Yeah hopefully soon, I doubt mind bucking up for something that looks nice. The only time I have problems is backing into campsites and parking beside the house.

The new 2019's don't have a trailering mirror on the 1/2ton trucks even with the NHT Trailering package? That seems very odd. 

 

You will probably have to wait for the HD's to be sold if that is the case, if you don't want goofy clip-ons. Just looking at the doors of the new HD, looks like the mirror mount will be similar to the 1/2 ton. Us K2 guys could mount the HD or NHT mirrors on our trucks by drilling one additional hole in the door for a 3rd mounting bolt the HD/NHT mirrors had, we had to get fancy with some pinning of the BCM if you had an LT trim and wanted your mirrors to have the puddle light, power fold, marker/signal, auto-dim, heat and power mirror. PGamboa is a member on here who is a wiring wizard and will probably design and sell harnesses when the 2020 mirrors are available for you guys. Keep his name in your mind.

Looks like the max trailer package still has little mirrors. 

Trailering mirrors are an option on the 2020s.

Question for you... what are you doing for tow mirrors?  I am having trouble finding attachable tow mirrors like i used to have for my 11 Silverado.  
Still waiting for some options. The regular mirrors are doing ok for now.

I tow an Xventure flatdeck camping trailer. Normally has a 4 seat side by side on it. Weight loaded is approx. 5500lbs. that includes a roof top tent, 22 gal of water on board, a complete galley system, hot and cold running water, ARB 50qt fridge, 2 batteries, etc... BTW Love the General Tire Grabbers and the N-Fab rock sliders, ........Salt flats UT.

Towing my 2640 Glacier Bay around 10k. Truck handled it with ease. It has Firestone air bags I was very happy with the ride.

      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.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      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.
