Hello,

I know for some power folding mirrors are not important, but on my '16 LTZ I've become quite fond of them..

I have on order a '21 6.2 RST which unfortunately does not have power folding mirrors nor are they available.

My question is how hard would they be to add?

Could it be as easy as purchasing the mirrors and a new drivers door switch panel?

That sure would be nice..

Thanks in advance..

It is not that easy.   I hooked up power mirrors when I upgraded my RST to 360 view.  I bought power fold switch and harness and it did not work.  You will need new driver window switch and switch harness, memory seat module at least.  Power folding mirrors runs through memory seat module and bcm.  I just bought cooled seats with memory module, waiting on arrival.  Seat harness looks like it has the right pins so I dont think I will need to reroute a bunch of wires like you would on previous body style truck.  Chris White at WAMS will be doing my custom programming.  I will keep you updated.   Thanks.

That's cool, let us know how it works out.

Definitely keep us updated.  Memory seats/mirrors is basically the only option I wish my truck came with that it doesnt have (think the 360 would be “cool”, but really dont care about that as much as memory, especially if it could be tied to “his and hers” key fobs...)

i dropped in, switch, cooled seats with memory seat module tonight.  this did not make the mirrors fold.  i will need to try custom bcm/memory programming next.  power driver and passenger seat work (except memory) and heat seat works(but i had this before).

Thanks for the update.  I think most realize this wont work “out of the box”, but hoping Chris/WAMS can make this work.

 

Where did you find/source the parts?  Is the memory module attached to the actual seat?

yeah i figured it wouldnt but it was worth a try!

 

bought seat from nordstroums in SD.  great people.  yes mem module is there and driver seat still moves.

Does anyone know the part number for OEM power folding mirrors. I keep finding kit 23372182 which includes both oem tow mirrors but I cant find the kit with the power folding. Im trying to go oem because I've already got some aftermarket ones on it that are garbage.

so i figured out to to this you need at least a memory seat, both new door harnessess, both new switch harnessess and you need both new switches.  my body harness on my RST has all the wires to make memory work according to wiring diagrams and looking at harness.  i am waiting on door harness now (x500 and x600) after putting memory seats in my truck I also learn I gained haptic seat alerts and the folding/memory options are on my radio display.

My door harnesses came yesterday.

I got power fold mirrors and memory seats working today.   

I have a loaded RST Silverado but power fold/memory was not an option on RST.   My body harness had all the wires and pin layout for this to work.  I did not have to rewire anything.  I only had to replace harnessess/switches and a window regulator.  I also did not program the memory module.  I bought power fold mirrors a few months ago when I added 360 camera to the truck(see my post on this) so I thought I would try adding power fold/memory and cooled seats.  Cooled seats do not work yet that will need BCM programming.  

 

At first I had everything connected and it didn't work.  This was depressing, then I put down windows and everything started working.

 

Key fobs folds mirrors in and out.  Driver switch works folding/adjusting mirrors/windows.  Mirrors point down in reverse (when I turn that option on).  I can use fob to put windows down(when I turn option on).  All memory functions work.  Seats vibrate with cross traffic alert(when I turn option on).  All the options to show up in my radio.  Passenger power seat works.  The only thing I don't think works is there are no pop up messages on my speedometer like if I am driver 1 or 2 with memory seats.  I also don't know if puddle lights work yet.  I will find out when it gets dark.

 

I found most parts on ebay/ junk yard and lookupgmparts.com

 

Buy list

- Pair of memory seats

- L Power fold mirror 

- L Switch Harness 84449518

- L Switch 84512862

Outstanding job...

But I had no idea it would be that involved.

Damn, pulling brand new leather seats out, that price my be to high.....

Hey Jarrett, thanks for this info. I scoured the forum and the entire internet for that matter for this info. 

 

Its silly what's important to people sometimes, but it really frustrated me that the passenger front window wasn't an 'auto-up' button on my 2021 Trailboss. 

So I bought (prior to researching) new switches for the driver and passenger side (84512862 & 84559726) the same ones you listed above. Only to find out that my harness isn't pinned for the driver side to work properly, and the passenger side has a completely different connector (very frustrating) 

 

Eventually I think I would like to get a pair of power folding mirrors (small, not tow mirrors) but for now would just be happy getting the window switches to work. 

 

My question to you is, will I need both the door and switch harnesses? Or do you think I can get away with just replacing the switch harness? I guess I don't understand what the door harness is for....the power folding mirrors? 

 

Thanks in advance

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes I agree, its what amounts to free advertising to let people know about his UOA testing company, and not that there is anything wrong with that but certainly that is a motivator for putting out videos about the science of oil as well as other topics such as oil and air filtration etc. The interesting part I found with his last video is not only the physics behind the reason for the varying wear due to a diesels working torque range causing more bearing load and that higher viscosity oil is of benefit, it was also that the chemistry behind the GM Dexos 0W-20 and the Mobil Dexos licensed 0W-20 are far enough apart that its showing up with a difference in wear even though the two oils are matched in viscosity and in that comparison viscosity was not having the finger pointed at it.    There are a few youtubers out there or one anyway that I have watched a bit of who has gone through the pains of accessing various countries manuals for a certain engine platform and while in the US/Canada it may say use 0W-20 or what have you for some Toyota product, in some other countries it sings a very different tune for the very same engine with the typical traditional oil viscosity/ambient temperature charts to help choose which oil viscosity is correct for the conditions the vehicle will be used in and in some cases its taken an engine in a US manual that states only use 0W-20 as per warranty coverage and yet that same engine in certain other countries may have up to a 15W-40 etc oil option that meets the spec. Another words the guy who is driving through Death Valley or Phoenix and south weather at 120f is often being fed a line of bs by the US system that has forced vehicle companies to restrict the warranty to a specific low viscosity oil for anterior reasons as well as the long drain interval suggestions.    Thankfully youtube is free ( yet anyway ) for viewers to sift through information and of course comes with the good and the bad ( truth and lies ) and we can choose to turn off/not watch what a person finds is bs or just not interested in the topic.

      No doubt... But, as someone who doesn't pay for his services, but who has provided a few views/clicks on his Youtube platform, the data around the Mobil oil testing I think does have some value including to "freeloaders" like me.   A lot of what he's doing is likely showing the OE's work in their oil selection, something that many of us had kind of assumed was true all along, a good balance of both excellent protection and efficiency.

      Lake Speed is drumming up business for his company just by being in the spot-light so he has a vested interest in stoking the 0W-20 fire.  IMO

      I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas.

      I agree with this assessment. As you know I’m testing longevity with vehicles for the first time. I have a few vehicles I passed to kids and grandkids. We’re all past 100K miles some approaching 170K. I’m the only one doing 5k oil changes. The rest whatever the minder says. I’m the only one doing frequent transmission service. My odyssey the trip vehicle at 200K will be finished as a trip vehicle. I recently changed to high mileage oil, Valvoline. I can’t get past the fact that all manufacturers want to claim long service life. I just don’t make sense that they would go with low weight oil for mileage. While sacrificing longevity.
