Installing power folding mirrors on a 2019 Z71 Trail Boss LT .

GM Part #84656350

GM Part #84656351

Mirror switch GM Part # 84532268

Does anyone know if this is a plug and play or do I need more items . Other wire harness ? Reprograming ?

From what I’ve researched you need both door harnesses as well as the passenger window switch.

When I owned Avalanches this mod was discussed at length. In order for plug and play operation, the motorized mirrors and mirror control switch(es) must come from a donor vehicle that already contains this option. I did it successfully direct swapping folding mirrors and control switch from my '07 with the folding ones in the non folding ones in the '13 at trade in time.

 

A simple installation with new mirrors and switch will not work because the mirror module needs dealer programming to recognize that the motorized mirrors are in the system.

Wow, that whole setup is cheaper than I thought it would be.

Cheap? A minimum for $450 for the mirrors at an internet discount supplier or EBay, and another $200 for the switches and harness and $200 for the dealer programming.....so about $900 for a DIY unless you can scavenge decent ones from an auto junkyard.

 

And if the dealer programming doesn't take, he'll still charge for labor and blame the driver supplied mirror or switch.

 

Mine cost $0 and works in conjunction with the front window switches......just roll them down and while folding mine by hand yell : "Honey, fold in your mirror"

Thru the years they changed something's for the better and the worse.  Like the 03-07 classic.  U just need the mirrors and the switch, all plugged in it works perfect...turn signals and all.

 

Like these truck with the dimming mirror, the wiring there...just plug the mirror in. Now what else is that way..?

 

If it's just 2 mirrors and the switch it's cheap in my mind... u bought a 40-50k dollar truck  so 6-700.00 isn't much if u like that feature..some don't. 

 

Keep in mind, this style truck not much is the same. We cannot compare other years...they changed lots of things.

 

Anyway, let's not tie this guys thread up with nonsense, I'd like to see the results.  If it works...then awesome,  if not then you know...

Like I stated, you need more parts, and a dealer that knows what to do and most don’t. And it’s not their fault, for the 1-2 customers max they’ll ever get who want to do this, it’s not worth their or your time to figure it out. They can’t call tech line and ask them either.

Any updates to this project?  I just bought a 2022 LT Trail Boss after a 2014 Z71 LTZ.  I could order neither power folding mirrors nor ventilated front seats.  I'd try anything to upgrade to both features.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      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.

      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.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
