Mirrors with blinkers...

I recently went from an '05 extended cab Z71 to an '06 crew cab Z71. The '05 had blinkers in the rear view mirrors and the '06 doesn't. I really miss the blinkers for in-town driving and towing. I posted on this subject last month about adding the mirrors to my '06 and got some good advice, but have been finding it very expensive to do by purchasing mirrors from Ebay.

 

I have found some stick-on LED flashers at Walmart for $8.00. They actually look pretty good. I was concerned that they would look a little tacky, but I saw some installed that were nice. Now to my questions. Is there a generic, one-size-fits-all, plug under the mirror that already has the flasher voltage or would I have to run a wire all the way to the dash? My other question is, how does the mrror come off? Do you pop off the little plastic triangle inside the door and unbolt the mirror or does it just pop off?

 

Thanks.

OK,

I have another question related to this...

 

I havea set of Mirrors with the Signals in them, heated and the drvier side has the Dimming wiring as they were out of a Yukon Denali.

 

Is there anyway to wire up the dimming feature to work? I have the rear view mirror that has the Auto Dim and I am going to bet that I will have to tie into that somehow?

Yes, you can, by connecting it to your rearview mirror. If someone doesn't answer this for you first, I'll send you the info on how to hook it up after i get home.

 

If you don't hear from me in a day or so, send me a reminder PM. I may have forgotten. :D

my stock mirrors were power only. I got a set of heated, power, turnsignals, power folding, dimming. all my features work and i just plugged them into the stock locations under the power windows/locks buttons on the door. It was a direct plug and play swap.

You may want to consider installing a LED light bar underneath the tailgate. It has running/stop/directional turn signals built in. Definitely eye catching from behind.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
