I am interested in swapping the old style 2014 tow mirrors with the newer 2015-2018? DQS power fold tow mirrors.  I want everything to work as if from the factory.  I have found several post on other style mirrors being upgraded to the DQS or different model trucks doing the swap.  But haven't found a clear guide.  Besides the obvious needing new mirrors, new switch what else do I need to order or do for 100% function on this truck?

I'm sure you're going to need new door harnesses with the added wires for the new mirrors and switch.

Yea, that was my thinking too.  Just wondering if it will be just the door harness or if I would have to completely replace the door harness and the dash harness.  Some of the early post I saw someone had to basically pull everything and replace with new.  But trying to follow one post and several people was taking about few different models it gets to confusing.  Plus they was talking about RPO's I didn't have.

 

I am trying to plan it all out so I only have to tear the doors apart once.  My power lock motors are shot on the driver side.  I have been holding my new HD motors for about a 8 months that I got from https://www.gruvenparts.com/2014-gm-door-lock-actuator-motors/.

If you're truck is a basic ****** you're going to be adding some wires but I haven't tackled the mirrors yet on my 18 so I'm not sure what all wire I'll need to add. I did just finish the front seat swap and had to change a few things. Mostly because the seats I got were from a 2500 and my truck is a 1500.

It's 1500 LT L83 (5.3 V8) with power everything, heated mirrors, max tow package, cruise, 8in screen with built-in navigation non-bose system.  Only features I know it is missing is seat memory (or I haven't found it), back seat entertainment, DVD player, and leather seats.

 

It is NOT WT, LTZ, Z71, or High Country.

Phil should be able to get you fixed up. If you don't have buttons above the driver's inner door handle you don't have memory function.

WELL.... it has been a month and still haven't gotten a response.  🤬
 

Still doing some research on my own.  Wondering if I can get a door harnesses from Escalade with the light up exterior handles and power fold mirrors to make it a simple bolt-on upgrades.  I know the keyless entry will not work.  Just swap out the mirrors, switch, door harnesses and probably run new wires for the back seat handles?

 

I haven't found the correct year and trim level to compare the pin outs on the harness yet.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often.

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.
