Anyone know of any that work for an 01/02? I cant see around or behind my trailer when towing.

 

I see the newer trucks have them extendable, and from what Ive read its only usable from 03-05. Id like some of these for my 01

There are companies that sell a power extending mirror that will work on your truck ($$$). The factory towing mirror on the '01-'02 trucks was a manual sliding mirror.

I've used them all, the manual factory towing mirrors on my 99 2500, the Lucerex (CIPA) towing mirrors on my 01 2500HD, the TTT Power Mirrors on my 03 2500HD, and finally the Factory Power towing mirrors on my 04 2500HD.

 

The best in my opinion were the TTT mirrors (shown below) second are the GM factory power extenders (but they need convex mirrors added)

 

The Lucerix were the worst as I could not see down the side of my 36' 8'6" wide car hauler.

On my '01, I have the electric retractable mirrors. I bought my truck that way. I do not know if the style of my truck made a difference, being a CC/LL/DRW, but they did have them for '01 vehicles.

 

I am in need of motor for one of them...

Steve...

 

The TTT mirrors do you have a picture front showing both mirrors retracted... And how far do they stick out when retracted...

 

Thanks

I just have the mirrors that slip on over the factory mirrors. They do the trick and when I'm not towing, I take them off. The look of the smaller factory mirrors is nicer than any extendale towing mirrors that I've seen on the market.

Do you have a picture of them?

 

The extendable factory mirrors I saw on 01-02s were a manual extension. Does anyone know if the factory extenedables with the 2 chrome tubes were power operated? Not power extend, just power adjustable.

 

Are the two pics above aftermarket mirrors? How do you activate the extend? Does the stock mirror switch activate the extend?

What do those slip on extensions run?

Mattt - The manual camper mirrors extend manually AND adjust manually. I have them on my 03 and really like them. I like the more sleek look and they are a little more quiet when cruising because the air can flow between the two arms. They also have a convex spot mirror in the corner which really helps. They are a great size for towing slide-in campers. Another thing that most people don't realize is that the manual mirrors give you better visibilty up front and to the side of the truck because you can see between the two arms. NOT SO on the electric camper mirrors (very bulky). I plan on ordering a set from partsdirect.com as soon as my new ride gets in (the new LS does not offer them). They are listed at $160 a piece IIRC. I will gladly forego the power adjustment. Good mirrors.

I would have to find the pic. I activate them by a switch inside the door panel. I will find the pic. Give me a bit to find it.

I agree, I replaced mine over the stock mirrors that came with the Truck.

Here are some pics I have of those mirrors. I didn't clean them to show quality but you'll get the idea.

 

Door Panel: Switch is next to the speaker. Kind of a bad spot. Maybe that is why one motor is burnt out? See the inside mirror controls still can still adjust the mirrors while extended.

Edited...

 

After doing some more research, I am beginning to believe these are not the stock mirrors. maybe it's time for some new mirrors?

I apologize...

 

You may be right. I had to more research and I am finding that my mirrors are different from what I see online. Possibly the previous owner modified it?

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
