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?

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

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

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
