I don’t like the rough ride of my HD. Does the 1500 frame bolt up to my hd body? Lol

84817038 (pass) and 84817037 (driver) for the mirrors.  DLN mirrors are power glass and heat.  No lights/signals, no power fold.  You also need 84732427 and 84732426 upper covers.  Those are the same

ND is the real MVP for all that legwork but know you have contributed to the delinquency of an HD.   Hopefully the ones he takes off find a home on some poorly optioned truck that had the ba

No.  The mounting bases are not the same becaue the 1500 doors are different from the HD doors.

 

There is only one small HD mirror that they make.  If you have any options like the blind spot monitors, you cannot make this conversion.

Are you certain?   I hate these tow mirrors.  
 

Is the door sheet metal at a different vertical angle or the hole location at a different height?

 

Has anyone tried this swap?

I would trust newdude words.

 

I did not know there was only one version of the small mirror.

Different strokes for different folks but I think the Silverado 1500 mirrors are the worst looking mirrors on any brand truck currently on the market.

Big trucks for towing have to have big mirrors. JMHO.

The tow mirrors a too huge for us non-towing folks….trying to squint between the A pillar and the mirror body to avoid anything hidden behind is frustrating.    
 

Someone else may find this useful.

The 1500 doors are different Chevy and GMC.  The angle of the mirror mounting plate and shape of the mounts are designed to contour the doors.

 

The HD doors are flat, no body lines at the doors.  The mount and the studs are positioned differently from the 1500s.  You can see the differences below in the mount holes on the doors.

Well that is very helpful to keep me from wasting time and money.    
 

thanks for posting @newdude

 

 

So just to go back to something I posted earlier, there is one small mirror option for HD from the factory.  Option code is DLN, they are power glass and heat.  They can be used, however, if you have either version of the tow mirror that has the blind spot indicator, these would be a no go.

 

What functions do your current tow mirrors have?

Just turn signals and heat, no blind spot indicator.      Any chance you have a link to a picture or a part number?

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
