My truck came with towing mirrors but I recently smacked one and need to replace (cracked housing). I called a local dealer and they gave me the part number based off of the VIN, 84691670, GREAT! Dealer wants $650 for ONE mirror (not heated, not auto fold) way to much. So, I go to GM Parts Direct, enter VIN, and they don't even list my mirror.  None of the GM sites list it by VIN.  Direct search part number and it shows up. Go to dealer's site, put in make/model/year and get part 23372182. Similar, but not the same.  However, the set of TWO list at $750. This same mirror comes up on the GM Parts sites as well with make/model/year (cheaper) and only $80 more than my part and I get a set, but says a new harness is required. This set is at least heated (which is not) and I'm figuring the new harness is what's taking this into consideration.

 

So, the question is, does anyone know if this is actually a replacement? I'm kind of thinking that in true corporate America fashion, they decided to make a newer mirror backwards compatible with a different harness and save on making the older mirror?

Funny how when I go to any of the GM official sites and enter my VIN that the mirrors that are currently on my truck don't even show as an option but they pop right up when I call a dealer.

Yea very strange.  Truck is a DPN factory tow mirror truck.  84691670 is the correct # for the driver's side mirror.  You wouldn't need any wiring at all to change as its a factory tow mirror truck.

 

Also, 23372182 mirror set lists for $625 not $750.  The ones in 23372182 are the exact same ones on the truck right now, power upper glass, heated upper glass, front marker, rear facing cargo, manual fold/extend.

First off, Thanks and that's great news. Getting any info from a local dealer is nearly impossible

OK, now I have a seemingly stupid question (at least to me it sounds stupid😃) - What switch controls the heated upper glass? I didn't think mine has the heated option. That was where my main concern/question comes in with the 23372182.

The rear window defrost button runs the rear window and the mirrors.  All on the same swtich.

 

The 23372182 mirrors are the DPN mirrors that are already on your truck that it was built with.  They are the same exact mirror.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      In most areas of the country, wages have trailed CPI increases over time (let's say, since the 70's) and things like housing, energy, and food have vastly outpaced wages on the whole. Can't ignore that, it's very real.   That isn't to say there aren't ways to live in ways that mitigate some of that, including moving to cheaper areas of the country. In KNut's neck of the world, median housing prices in "nearby" Dallas are more like $500k. If you're raising a family and young in a successful career, your economic opportunities are probably going to be better living closer to Dallas than Cornhole. A 3 hour (6+ round trip) daily commute probably isn't tolerable for most folks. Grumpy mentioned economic migration; but we've seen what happens when people populate and grow an area. It becomes more expensive when economic opportunities come to roost.   One thing different now from back in the 70's is our quality and standard of living has changed. Healthcare is light years better, for example. But it's also much more expensive. And we have communication and information/tech tools that folks in the 70's could never imagine, and they're accessible to people of just about all incomes. Cars are light years safer, faster, and filled with tech advances. Homes are larger, more energy-efficient, and more luxurious on the whole, from starter homes to luxury homes.   Seattle was once affordable. My folks came here in the 70's with a lot of other people from California looking to escape uncontrolled sprawl, smog, and rising prices in the Bay Area. Seattle and the surrounding area has grown considerably; The home they bought for, I think it was $70k or $80k in the late 70's is now worth $1.2M today. The same house.   So while there have been obvious boosts in some areas of quality and standard of living, regarding opportunity, that's a bit more nuanced. It's really not possible for young people to get started in similar situations in areas of the country that have become "HCOL" (high cost of living). There are many more areas than before, which is to say they exclude younger workers or make their lives significantly harder. They have to commute farther and longer to afford to live in the area. They have to take outsized risk, take on more debt, significantly delay family planning. Or, they could move somewhere cheaper, but there's usually a loss of economic opportunity that comes with that. Even for the same job, it may pay a lot less in a LCOL.   What I don't like are Boomers with phones thinking they have all the answers and outright saying that if people stopped paying for their cell phone that they'd be rich. It's as stupid and misguided as people who think they'd only be rich if taxes weren't so high. Sorry guys, Elon proved you wrong on that one, I guess you're just lazy and blaming your own situation for the reason you're not wealthy. Mobile communication is basically an expectation in a modern society and workforce and it's often cheaper than having a copper landline these days, so... What's your point?

      Ac not keeping up

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      My 2008 started exhibiting similar symptoms, wasn't 'cold' enough. I went through a pretty extensive diagnostic process for a DIY'er with limited OBD access. System evacuation and recharge included.   Noticed one day the passenger side was cold (I'm never over there so took awhile to notice).   Pulled the drivers side blend door actuator out, disassembled it and cleaned it out. Put it back in and did some kind of reset and it fixed the problem.   Long story short, it wasn't the A/C system at fault, the blend door wasn't moving to full cold position.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By c4racer2 · Posted

      Just got in two back to back road trips of about 700 miles each with my new 2026 2500HD trail boss.  Really nice highway cruiser. Two very different trips - both loaded with gear for my band. First trip was to Durango for an event with Indian Motorcycle - saw some really nice bikes while out there! All mountain driving on back country highways - very pretty scenery - lots of hills along the way including a crazy pass that went up to 11,000 feet! Overall MPG for that trip was 15, speeds were typically 60-70 range depending on road.   This past weekend was into rural Nebraska, so mostly fast interstate (76 and 80) with some fast 2 lane getting to / from the final destination outside of North Platt. Speeds mostly ~80.  Also mostly flat although somehow dropped from 5K to 3K feet and then back up getting back into CO - didn't really notice it was subtle probably over a long distance. Overall MPG for the trip was 14.   Truck is still barely broken in - just got past 2K miles on the second trip. We survived some torrential thunderstorms in NE on Sat. night - especially driving to the hotel after the gig at 1AM.  Truck didn't skip a beat - I think the weight of these HD trucks really reduces the hydroplane chances.   All good - made it back to Denver area mid day on Sunday for fathers day.   I did a quick calculation to compare MPG and overall trip cost to my previous truck, a 2018 Colorado V6.  From previous experience I would have expected to see a 4mpg improvement on both trips.  Based on current gas prices which are starting to come down but still $0.75 to $1 higher than they should be based on barrel pricing, each trip was about $40 more.  Really not much of a concern in the grand scheme of things I must say.
