Has anyone looked into retro fitting the power fold mirrors. That was the one option my 23 2500 didn’t come with. We ordered and dealer said that they were discontinued because they were freezing up. Don’t know if that’s true, but mine is not really driven in the inclement weather. 
  I don’t know if it’s plug and play or if you need to change a switch panel as well as maybe a bcm flash?? When I’ve searched I haven’t found anything in the forums.

You can add power folding aftermarket tow mirrors from Boost Auto. Unsure of regular mirrors though.

I'm sure there's a way to add them. They pretty much just need power to a button and wires from the button to the mirrors.

I think the dealer lied. I ordered my truck around the beginning of Oct, 2022 with a build date in Dec, 2022 and I have the power fold mirrors. I believe they stopped taking orders for the 2023 models in Nov, 2022. So far no issues with them.

that would really frustrate me as all other experiences with my dealer have been good. I ordered the last week of June of 2022 and received it in December of 2022.

Going off of Boost, its replace the door switch for one with power fold, and then add the power fold modification harness.  You'd need their harness most likely, and then the switch and switch bezel from GM.  I'd contact them and see how they offer a power fold harness mod.  

 

Dealer/GM won't be of any help on the BCM flash side of things, but Boost's harness seems to validate flashing un-necessary.

There was a bit of a constraint on the DWI power folding tow mirrors, but they are definitely and were not discontinued.  Some trucks were indeed built without them for a couple months.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
