Anyone with a white Silverado have Factory Tows installed that can post photos? Google comes up with almost nothing. Also, do you experience any shake/vibration in the mirror glass while driving?

Not sure what the colour has to do with it, but no, the glass doesn't vibrate in either the retracted of extended positions.

My truck is blue, so no pic (except my profile pic).  Agreed with red.  No shaking/vibrating.  Been in some nasty wind and only heard a high pitched whistle from near the mirrors.  It's happened twice, and venting the window where the sound was at made it go away, so I don't think it was the mirrors.  I suspect the culprit is the WeatherTech window visors.

Thanks for the answers about the shaking. I found a guy that is offering aftermarket ones and the wiring (similar to boost where you don’t need a dealer) but my experience with tows were always bad. His vibrate ever so slightly. Looks like I’ll stick with gm made ones and just get the wiring kit. Thanks again.

Got a link to the aftermarkets you found?  Because as of right now its only GM that makes them.  Boost is still "coming soon" and a quick tour of Google found no other aftermarket options for the T1 trucks.

It’s a guy who posted on Facebook in Quebec Canada. No website link. He supplies the wiring just like boost as well.

Hmm.  I'd be concerned because 1500 mirrors and the HD mirrors have different mounts as the doors aren't the same between 1500 and HD.

Yeah, he sells the different ones depending on the LD or HD models. Not sure where he's getting them but I guess this is a first for aftermarket.

I have the 2019 Sierra and wanted OEM tow mirrors. I was told by GM they can't be put on vehicles equipped with lane change or blind spot alert. Same with 2020. I do know the OEM mirrors only require one additional harness.

Tow mirrors were not offered by GM on the 2019 1500's.

In 2019, the HD's were style the older style body and the older style tow mirrors.

 

In 2020, the HD was updated to the new 'everything'.

The new tow mirrors were released and available for 15/25/35. 

 

Tow mirror offerings in 2020 depended on trim level.

 

DQS version only available on LTZ and HC

DQS         NEW!  Mirrors, outside power-adjustable vertical trailering with heated and auto-dimming upper glass, lower convex mirrors, turn signal indicators, puddle lamps, perimeter lighting, auxiliary lighting and memory; power folding/ manual extending
1 -  Requires (CWM) Technology Package. Includes (DP9) chrome mirror caps. 

 

DPO         Mirrors, outside power-adjustable vertical trailering with heated upper glass, lower convex mirrors, integrated turn signals, clearance lamps and auxiliary lighting; manual folding/extending
WT -  Requires (PCV) WT Convenience Package or (PEB) WT Value Package and either (Z82) Trailering Package or (ZW9) pickup bed delete. Includes (DD8) auto-dimming inside rearview mirror. 
Custom -  Included and only available with (BD1) Custom Max Trailering Package. 
LT & RST -  Requires (Z82) Trailering Package. Includes (DD8) auto-dimming inside rearview mirror. 
LT Trailboss-  Includes (DD8) auto-dimming inside rearview mirror. 

 

Neither was available on Custom Trailboss

My 2019 Custom NHT (max trailering) came with the tow mirrors, so yes, they were available on 2019 1500’s.

I actually removed them and replaced with new Silverado RST mirrors and had my local body shop paint the top panel to match my black truck and swap them out.  
The wiring harness all plugged right in, and my power mirrors work perfectly, so I’d expect the reverse to be true.  And, no, mine never shook at all.

Was that on a K2 or  T1?

It was/is on a T1.  Bought it new, still have it.  There was a second identical truck on the lot at the same time, and they both were 2019’s, albeit very late 2019. Build date was in December 2019.

Although I’ve removed the tow mirrors for RST replacements, I still have them and have pictures with the mirrors both on the lot and in my driveway from the day I bought it in March 2020 right when Covid kicked off and I bought it at an excellent price.

The mirrors were the only thing I didn’t like, lol!

Built in Dec 19 it should be a model year 2020 truck. 

 

10th digit of vin is model year.

K = 2019

L = 2020

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
