I have a 2004 sierra Z71 with the extendable towing mirrors and I HATE them. Does any one know if the standard mirrors will plug in and bolt up and work if I were to find a pair of the standard mirrors? If they will, any leads to where I can find some standard mirrors would be helpful! THANKS

Those extendable mirrors can be kinda wide even when all the way in!

But to anwser your question,Yes the standard mirrors will work but you may need to go to your dealer and have them reprogram your truck for the other mirrors.

Also what extendable mirrors do you have? The pwr.in/out with turn-signal or the std.manual ones? And what mirrors do you want to go with? Just the pwr.heated ones or the pwr.fold heated ones with turn-signal? All kinds of choices :devil:

I agree. We have a 2500HD at work with those @#$%^!! extendable mirrors. They suck! They are mounted too far back, and when extended they make you lean even further back to see out of them. And don't forget the "who da heck cut this glass?" convex mirrors. Sheesh. I should think any stock mirror from a GM similar truck should work. Too bad the Ford extendable mirrors won't fit. The super duty mirrors are sweet.

those things are pretty cool, even with pics when driving 50 mph down the highway :D , one set of mirrors i really liked were the dodge mirrors, the ones that flip up and down, they give it that beefy look and the mirrors worked sweet too, not too sure about fitment issues though :crazy:

I have the power in/out heated mirrors with the turn signal and I'm looking for the heated power fold mirrors with the signal in them.

 

Yep, No problem they will work,as I said earlier all you have to do once you plug them in and bolt them on is have your dealer reproggram the BCM from mirror option code DPF to option code DL3.

I would try to find a set of mirrors on E-Bay,you can find some good deals on there and maybe someone took off a set to put the camper mirrors on so you might be able to get a deal!

I have a new set of take off power mirrors that I'll trade with you. I currently run the GM manually extending mirrors. I can ship in the mirror boxes so you want have any shipping hassles. Email me at [email protected] if you're interested.

 

 

 

 

 

I would't mind taken the manual ones off your hands if you are going to replace them. Let me know what you want for them. Are they power adj. and manual ext?

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Ok that confirms the extra quart theme they are still going with which must mean they have noted some initial use more so then some engines and probably the bigger factor in all of this probably isn't the engine so much as its the insane distance or OLM that lulls a lot of the driving public into driving their new vehicle off the lot and not even doing one short interval oil change because the manufacturer doesn't say different and if the dealer follows that logic as well. Selling the rarely needing to be serviced concept seems to go over well with the public that wants to get away with as little as possible for dollars spent on the vehicles maintenance and I bet there are 3.0 engines just like other vehicles out there that never have their oil checked by the owner which goes back to why they probably felt the need to add that extra quart to avoid a costly theme.    Speaking of cutting filters open, it was probably over two years ago now that a youtuber who buys vehicles to do longer term reviews and pulls a fifth wheel through the mountains of Colorado on summer trips and that becomes part of the testing. Anyway he had a GM HD with the 6.6 gas and a Ford 250 with the 7.3 gas at the same time and of no surprise the Ford had more power etc but somewhere along the way in the few thousand miles he put on the truck, he changed the oil and was seeing glitter and cut open the filter and yeah, things were not looking spectacular. The truck about that time or soon after seemed down on power compared to what it had been and then threw some engine code, I expect the cam/lifters were failing and so he brought the truck back to the dealer and made some deal to get out of it as he knew it would sit for months waiting on a new engine as they were so backlogged at the time. He kept the GM for some time after that using it exclusively until he sold it after buying his next vehicle to do a review on. Definitely the filter can tell a story when things are starting to go sideways, but it would be a sickening feeling to cut it open and be faced with an ugly mess like that and be running a magnet through the pleats and the oil on the dirty side of the filter and see all the fines sticking to the magnet.    The dealer may have some ideas based on experience as to where that coolant smell is coming from, I would imagine if they can't find it but its smelling they would put dye in it to they could give it a run cycle and use the black light to see where it pops up, if its a hose connection, water pump, rad or even a head gasket etc.

      charm.li (website) has the vehicle-specific diagnostic procedure for that code, you can use to find what the cause of it is.

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It’s at the point of amusement. I’m retired I have time. It’s fun seeing people try to convince me I’m using oil. I’m buying oil at the prescribed time. It gets drained and new goes in. Do I add in between, no. My oil doesn’t even get dirty in 5k miles. I don’t even see any drop on the stick. I check in the same place. All is well.
