Now that day light savings is a thing, I forgot how nice auto dimming mirrors are at night.  

 

Doesn't look like the most intrusive of installs but curious if anyone had the plain no tech mirror and upgraded?

Yes. There's a thread on here somewhere with pictures. Pull the dome light console and the plug for the auto dim mirror is glued to the metal roof. Pull it off and feed through the front of the headliner and plug into the new mirror. I picked up one removed from a truck with the tow package on ebay for $45. Can't believe the only way to get the auto dim is with the tow mirrors.

Must be something they changed. My 20 1500 has autodim and no tow mirrors.

Must be a GMC thing. They cheaped out on the Chevys.

My 2019 Sierra has auto dim on rearview and driver side mirror. My outsides are not tow mirrors. I think it depends on the trim package.

Those mirrors were supplied by "GENTEX" as I recall.  Not sure of the exact spelling.

If the wire for the autodim is in every truck, then shouldn't the GM acessory version with built in garage door opener work as well?

They have one for non-autodim but if the wire is there, might as well get the autodim version.

On my 2022 RST refresh model the wiring harness was not glued to the head liner. I bought a harness off ebay that plugs into the mirror and had to hot tap a wire in the overhead console harness to power the mirror.

I picked up a Gentex with Homelink off eBay for like $60 and ran power down the passenger side windshield trim and into a fuse tap. Took all of 20 minutes and works great.

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
