Does anyone make simple plug and play tow mirrors that are manual fold manual telescope with no turn signals that is plug and play for a Early 2015 2500HD (MFG 03/14)? I have read alot of the posts I have found on tow mirrors but cannot seem to find the answer to my question. My truck came with DL8 mirrors, and I currently have tow mirrors from the 2007-2013 body style on the truck that were installed by the previous owner. However I do not think the old style mirrors look right on the K2 platform trucks, and I would like to get some aftermarket tow mirrors that look like they belong on this truck without breaking the bank.

 

I know about getting the tow mirrors made after the MFG of my truck and adding wires and repining the wiring harness to make all of the fancy features work. However, I just dont want or care about the reverse lights, running lights, power fold, or turn signals. All i would like is to power adjust the upper lens. 

 

Can I simply buy mirrors made for the 07-13 trucks that look like the newer style mirrors? 

 

What brought this up is my buddy with a 2013 2500hd SLT upgraded to aftermarket tow mirrors that look like the 2015-2019 OEM ones., and I have also seen NBS trucks with newer style tow mirror replicas too. Does anyone know if the mirror harnesses would connect property if I bought mirrors for a 2013/4 truck? It seems as though my truck is a 2014 with a 2015 body sitting on top of it anyways.

 

Thanks for your help.

If you want all the lights to operate correctly, you need new door harnesses or the Boost wiring kit, and you also need the "RZY" harness from GM.  The "RZY" harness is what completes the circuits from the BCM to the doors and the underhood fuse block.  

 

If you don't care about the lights working, you can just install the mirrors and you will have everything but lights so heat and power will work.  

 

07-13 mirrors won't fit a 14-18 or 15-19 at all.  

 

Boost sells the "old" style mirrors so the same ones that came on early 2015 HD - 2014 - 2019 Old Style GM Tow Mirrors – Boost Auto Parts  These will fit your doors.

Thank you for your response. I suppose the Boost Auto "Old Style Mirrors" that you linked is what the prior owner had put on to replace the DL8s.

 

I guess I will buy the new style mirrors for a 2015.5 truck and see how it goes. Does anyone make them without turn signals in the glass?

    • On 2021 3500hd it consistently sets automatically when selecting park if the incline/decline is above a certain angle. 
    • Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks. 
    • Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions? 
    • 2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!  
    • Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
