Wanting to trade my tow mirrors for the smaller mirrors.

If it’s possible and they swap straight across I’d like to trade my tow mirrors with the smaller style. Located in western Washington state. The one thing I don’t really care for about this truck.

I can’t help you, but I’m also curious. I tow and the towing mirrors are appealing for that purpose. But honestly, they’re visually unattractive and it would be nice if they were easy to switch out with the regular mirrors.

Yes with an asterisk *

 

What trim/options do you have on your truck now?  What style tow mirrors (manual or power folding)?  Any of the safety equipment on it?

The truck is an RST but those tow mirrors are the basic ones, manual and then just have the marker lights on the front of them.

You will need 84823219 and 84823218 for the mirrors.  Option code DLF excluding U12 light.  To match the factory RST small mirrors, you will need 84328136 black cap kit.  RST come with the top cap painted gloss black.  GM does offer a couple other color choices if your color is one you can do that too.

 

As for the tow mirrors, they will definitely fit another 1500 truck.  If you plan to leave your door wiring harnesses in your truck, whoever buys your mirrors will need to get new door harnesses to try and get the lights to all work, however, they might not due to not having the proper BCM programming.  They might have to seek an alternate source like White Auto Media Services (WAMS) for custom BCM programming.

Hi newdude, can you expand a little on the BCM programming? Say I order the two mirrors and get the new wiring harnesses... the lights still might not work and I would have to get a "programming update" or something?

When GM sells the accessory mirror kit they give an authorization code to program the truck and any necessary modules.  I don't know if GM supports programming without the kit aka you install takeoff tow mirrors.  If they do, they charge about $200 for a VCI for the dealer to program.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
