What options does your truck have?  I can get the info, just need to know if you have the safety package, the forward facing task lamps, etc.

 

Power folding, puddle lamps, front task lights, and blind spot.

Installed the passenger side (Part# 84709962)  so far the mirror moves and power folds normally.  This one came off a 2020 Silverado, so it fit fine, the driver side that I have coming is off a Sierra

They sure are, both on HD and 1500.  On the 1500 you need LTZ or High Country with the DQS tow mirrors which forces on the CWM technology package that includes the 360 surround vision.   Sam

Still not understanding what HD mirrors do for you that the accessory version wont.

People have torn their trucks apart trying to add power fold only to find out the dash harness doesn't have the connector to swap their door harnesses

My truck already has power folding and blind spot mirrors, I'm just trying to swap to power folding tow mirrors.

Could you also get the build date for your truck too?  Should be on the door jamb sticker that has the VIN on it.

So I went out on the lot.  The HD mirrors have a different mount than the 1/2 ton tow mirrors due to the door design, so HD tow mirrors won't fit.  As a matter of fact, they don't share any sheet metal besides the roof panel really.

 

You would need the 1/2 ton tow mirrors DQS full feature to make all your existing functions work and to fit your doors.  You would need the following parts:

 

84753421 driver mirror

84753422 passenger mirror

84655846 passenger door harness

84655845 driver door harness

 

Nothing is on backorder, GM shows stock.  Those mirrors will include the cameras for the surround view, its almost a guarantee that they won't be able to function however.  All your other functions would be retained.

Okay thanks, that's exactly what I was wondering, sucks that the HD mirrors don't fit since they're so much more plentiful.

 

Yah I know for sure my truck doesn't have the correct modules to support 360, so I'm not expecting them to work.

I see that now on the build and price site.  Price jumped $7K!  Too funny.  Funny sad not funny haha.
Adding the mirrors automatically added the following packages:
Technology - LTZ Convenience - LTZ Convenience II - Safety - Safety II.  Removing any one of those removes the towing mirrors.
How stupid of GM!  
The tow mirrors on my LT Trail Boss were a $345 option.  No package add-ons necessary.  The tech/camera package is cool. Very cool.  But NOT even close to $7k cool!  I just want to be able to tow my 20' boat safely.  
I am on my 8th truck in the last 18 years so you can safely say I am a GM fanboy.  When looking for my most recent truck (see my signature) I had just three requirements.  Leather, tow mirrors, 6' 6" bed.  I got all three.  Would have been nice to be able to get cooled seats as the only leather available in the LT TB is black.  Cooled seats are not an option on an LT so I had the windows tinted.  It helps a lot.  Power folding mirrors would also have been nice.  Again, not an option on an LT.  I digress.  I am super happy with my truck!  
If Chevy offered a LTZ Trail Boss, I would've been all over it with the towing mirrors.

I wish they made a LTZ “Diesel off road package” like they have for the LT and RST

Hopefully for 2021. TBH all 4X4 3.0 should come with 3.73.

I knew it was going to feel different, didn't realize it would be so drastic. Really helps at the top of the rev range, and actually gives meaningful engine braking. 3.23 engine braking is honestly only better then going down in neutral. Very underwhelming.

Can you get the parts #'s for a Sierra also? Has the tech pkg, 360 view, power fold, task lights, 02/20 build.

Well I will have more info in a few weeks.  Found fully loaded driver and passenger side tow mirrors on ebay for $200 each.  Passenger side is from a Silverado and Driver side is from a Sierra, both are from 1500 trucks too.  After looking more into the HD wiring, their wiring has some BCM wiring that half ton truck do not have, this is specifically for the fully loaded mirrors.

Installed the passenger side (Part# 84709962)  so far the mirror moves and power folds normally.  This one came off a 2020 Silverado, so it fit fine, the driver side that I have coming is off a Sierra.  I’ll update once I get the other side in.

 

Once I confirm both sides will mount and adjust I’ll start working on getting the lights to work.  I’ll probably just buy the factory harnesses to make it easy

Well bad news just as I figured, GMC mirrors do not fit properly.  I had my doubts, but figured I’d take the chance at $200, now I’ll just resell it later.  Yes they do bolt up, but the body lines don’t match.  I’ll be making some sort of gasket to fill in the spots where is doesn’t meet the body correctly.  This will of course be temporary while I hunt for another Silverado mirror for the driver side.  
Here’s a pic, I have a piece of foam in there for test fitting

Installed, it’s not perfect, but i made it work.  Only function that I can tell that I lost is memory recall on the passenger mirror, driver side does function properly.  Next will be buying the correct door harness to see if all the lights work

Nice!

 

How much trouble is it to pull the door panels? I got a set of tow mirrors & the the guy I bought them from is getting new door harnesses & is going to give me a deal on his. Should be able to swap mine in a couple weeks

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
