I have a 2021 Silverado 1500 LT with lane change alert (UKC). I want tow mirrors. I found a part 847776100 on the GM part hub web site and the dealer tells me this is for my truck. Only, it is not designed for trucks with lane change alert (UKC). I don't care about lane alert and need a tow mirror. Does anyone know if I add this mirror will it work and lane alert just not work or will the truck throw an error code?

Lane change alert  works with side blind spot alert. Two different functions. You might want to check that.

I was told, rightly or wrongly that you can put tow mirrors on but the only mirrors that are available DO NOT have any power features and WILL NOT be able to support those features as come standard on the Denali, for instance.  They are strictly manual operating mirrors.  This was quoted from a document the dealer salesman had with the part numbers for the mirrors kits.   Seems this is a confusing topic for most dealers as one will tell you one thing and another something else. Even the parts guy had to call someone at GM parts to ask.  So you will have mirrors, they won't fold or do anything power assisted.

GM has no "direct" upgrade path for tow mirrors on LT trucks with UKC blind spot.  The 84776100 kit mirrors will cause the truck to be in a permanent state of "Service Blind Spot Assist" forever.  

 

Your only option will be a set of LTZ/High Country 1500 tow mirrors.  You would need the following:

 

84879432 and 84879431 mirrors.  MSRP on these EACH is just under $1300.  

 

You would keep heat function, power upper glass and you will keep the blind spot function.  These mirrors will have cameras, power fold, signals and cargo lights but NONE of those features will work on your LT.

      Blend door actuator

      By Charly · Posted

      Trying to replace the temperature control, blend door actuator in my 2005 GMC SIERRA 1500, but can NOT get to it by just removing the under panel on passengers side. It seems like I will need to remove the side panel of the center console, or the entire center console just to get to it- can anyone offer instructions, pictures, videos… step by step so I can get this done!??!! It’s TOO HOT to be without AC!

      I will be one of those "blinded". One, I like new shiny things. Two, I've never kept any of them beyond the 3/36. Three, I don't finance anything. Four, yep, it's a waste of money....so,what? I'm doing my part of keeping automotive industry going and keeping my neighbors, most of whom are in it, employed. 😉      By the way this is the "signature... ¬

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By marpel · Posted

      Although there is a "recommended" weight by those who sell trailers, my experience has been that they are way too aggressive in their information, for me at least. My '22 with 6.6 Gas, has a payload of about 3400 lbs and depending on your specs (I don't have 4WD so it has a bit higher Payload than others) yours will likely be different. Payload is one of the most important numbers for towing. Although you "could" tow the max trailer weight for your truck, I, personally, would not go close to that number. Having said that, a lot depends on how/where you will be towing. I live in the LMD of BC and often tow to Denver, Co, along interstates (flat and mountains) and I find I need to keep it in 5th (6spd) for the trip and travel at around 65mph. This is for a trailer dry weight of just under 3500lbs. If you are only doing local, short trips, it would not be that big an issue if you had a heavier unit. You will be surprised how much stuff you load the trailer with, so I would only recognize the trailers "full" GVWR weight rating, then decide on the appropriate trailer from that number. If you are worrying about how much stuff you should be putting in a trailer, you might have too large a rig from the get-go. Once again, depending on what terrain/distance in which you will be pulling. Marv

      Disconnecting Battery

      By marpel · Posted

      davester, Thanks for the response, how ever, I think I am now a bit more confused than I was before I posted - - After I posted, I actually found a YT video of a guy who replaced his Module (above tire) and he only disconnected the ground cable of the battery, but you describe rubbing the two cables together after disconnecting. I presume that is to do as you describe and eliminate any residual energy? - When I picked up the Module (between my posting and reading your response) from the dealer, I specifically asked about any re-programming and he stated it was not necessary as it was simply plug and play. Don't know how knowledgeable he is, though. - The video I watched also showed the Module plug to be difficult to "unlock" and remove, but there was no mention of silicone, although the video did show a bunch of dust/dirt in and around the plug (old truck) during removal. Are you talking about silicone that was applied by the factory, or silicone that you applied prior to plugging in? Thanks again, Marv
