I need to get a replacement mirror for my driver side 99 Tahoe. The mirror has turned a bronze color. It started a few months ago in the corners and now the whole mirror is bronze color. I have found a few on E-bay, but still need some help. My mirror is electric remote, heated and has a nightime feature that makes the mirror turn blue to keep glare down. What is this feature called? I don't see it listed in any of the ads I have looked at yet. If it says electric mirror with heater will it include the night feature?

The feature is called electrochromatic. But I am not positive that all of the heated mirrors had this feature.

do you know for sure that the mirror is actually equipped to be electro chromatic i know on my moms o3 suburban, the rear view , drivers side mirrors are equipped,keep in mind she has the top of the line model lt auto ride edition but when my mom noticed that the passenger mirror wasn't working and we took it in, we were told by our dealer that it was never equipped on the passenger side... we were very disappointed to find this out... o well good luck i would go to ebay first, cheaper prices same product!!!

Just a note on ordering one from eBay, I did just recently for my truck and they didn't send the one they described anyway.

I would try a local wrecking yard first, find one that has internet part locating capabilities. If your mirrors are body-color, you're going to need to have it painted no matter what anyway.

Not true. The electrochromatic is another option and is not included on all heated mirrors. It never hurts to ask the sell specifically is the mirror has this option. Also I think, but am not positive, that there is a difference on the wiring on the 99-02 and 03-and up wiring.

      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.
