Could any of you gentlemen help me with this issue.  The drivers side lower mirror will only tilt up enough that I can see the rear tire about half way.  Would really be nice if I could figure out a higher fix for this mirror.  I like the wide angle to see what is surrounding me rather than what is surrounding the drivers side rear tire. Thanks for help in advance.  RR

I have to sit lower than I normally would to use wide angle to see behind/blind spot. It’s tilted up as high as it will go and follows the bed line really well. Did the same with passenger side lower mirror. 
 

im ok sitting lower as the rear view mirror would be a new blind spot if it sat at full seat height like I did in my previous F150.

I have the same issue! I duck to see the blind spot. It’s super annoying. I tried sitting lower but felt really uncomfortable so I just duck now…

You got me beat by 6" so I see what you mean.. You might need a aftermarket adhesive blind spot mirror on your blind spot mirror. 🤣..... I thought about it myself though....

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
