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.

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.

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.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
