Definitely happy with the sight line when turning at busy intersections and being able to see across the top of the mirror at cars stopped at their stop bar position. However the passenger side definitely needs a little tow mirror added and I’m working on that.    I have a 600 mile trip this week for work, will have a better user review report after that.

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

Found these 1500 style mirrors with the built in corner tow and the passenger side is convexed for a wider view.    I like them!

 

overall very pleased with the swap.   I’ll never tow with this truck, it is an urban environment work truck and swapping the mirrors to these work better for how I use it.

As far as the mirrors go, 84817037 is on national backorder.  To have any GM outlet (dealer or parts page) order, they will need a VIN that has that mirror as equipment on the build.  Here's one you should be able to use - Chevy Silverado 2500 HD | Vehicle Listing Details | Vehicle Locator (chevrolet.com)

 

If you give them your VIN, it will kick back in GM's system saying that part is not applicable to your VIN.  

 

Still the correct part number for a 24 custom with power upper and heat?

I just purchased a 2022 RST Silverado with the towing mirrors and my preference is also to swap these out.  Mirrors do not have blind spot but are heated, power, manual fold-in.  Are these still the right part numbers to get from GM?  Thanks Brian

I love the stock mirrors.....great visibility and dont notice not being able to see thru mirror arm for pedestrians or cars...have power fold so just fold them in when it gets super tight and it does where I live

Back in 2016, my sales guy was searching for a truck for me (regular cab K2500HD gasser). Found 1, but has the small mirrors. No thanks I tow a travel trailer. Not sure how easy the upgrade would've been on an LT back then.

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. 

I know I'm replying to a year old thread.

how about the ram towing mirrors that doesn't retract

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
