I have the power extending mirrors on my '05 3500 and would like to replace those with the larger tow mirrors. I have read some other threads on this forum but am still not clear on if this is possible.

Just spoke to the parts/accessories manager at my local dealer and he told me that 06-07 tow mirrors would not fit on my truck. Is there any truth to this?

Would someone mind helping me out? Thanks in advance!

There's tons of people here that have put the 06 tow mirrors on their 05. Sounds like the guy is just giving you a load of bs.

Sure it is. Check my garage for the proof! I am sorry to say though that i do not know who put them on, as I bought it that way, but I think it was the Roby Chevy dealer where it was originaly purchased.

Thanks for the quick replys. That is what I figured!

It's a very simple swap.
30 minutes tops.

I helped put a set on a friends truck it did not take that long and his was an 2005

I have them on my late 04...they are a direct bolt on and plug them in.

Replaced my power extenders with the new ones. Man I love them, I can see much better when towing. Took about 30 min. as it is a simple plug in. go for it, you won't be sorry!

:lol2::lol2::lol2::lol2: What he said and I have a 04.5 it is all plug and play ;)

Me too! Plug and play-- or is it "Play then Plug it"

Me twooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plug them in then you can really see so much chit!!!!!!!

I had a set of the '06 towing mirrors on my '05. I just could not get use to them. I took them off and sold them to a member on this forum.
I bought a set of the Schefenacker TTT Mirrors with power, heated, turn signals, from a supporting vendor on this forum. In my opinion, they are the cream of the crop. They definitely give the overall best field of view behind.

Thanks for the info! Gonna get this done soon.

Could someone please let me know if the following is the correct replacement (I would assume they are)...

i did it to my 05 and i couldnt be happier. i have a 23' boat thats pretty wide and i couldnt see around it for anything, now i can see great. easy instal, i havent done much of this before and i got both of them on in about 30 minutes. Its a must do if you haul much.

Man those things are over $400 a pair now? Yikes! I'll stick with my power extenders or pony up for the Schefenackers. I've never been fond of how they look on the Classics anyway with the up-canted angle.

I have done it, is easy. More than happy to give directions. It helps

I sold my old ones on egay for 340.00 and bought the new ones for 440.00.....it only cost me 100.00 to upgrade.

My dealer told me it would fry my computer and all the electrical stuff in my truck: power windows, power seats etc. Run them for a few years now and my windows and seats still work. Great upgrade IMO. I love them. Go for it! GMpartsDirect is best price I could find.

Hmm, hadn't thought of that angle...

so what your saying is that 06 07 mirrors will fit on a 04,05 truck

Mmmm, in a word, yes.

Yes they will fit. Yes they will work just fine. Yes they rock.

I saw or was told that they would not work. that the mount was diff.

Mount? Seemed to bolt up in about ten seconds.........? People keep saying it doesn't work. But IT DOES. I have done this on two trucks now and all is well.............................................. ................. Plug and play!

I think the confusion comes in because the 07 new body style camper mirrors mount different.( so ive been told )
but the 06 and 07 classic will bolt right up.

I agree, I didn't care for the upcanted angle. Maybe that's partly why I could not get used to them.

these's info on this site that tells you how to level them.

Thanks for the info! Gonna get this done soon.

if you have an 05, that is the WRONG PART NUMBER!!! that part number is for a pair of NBS tow mirrors. the mount is different.

you need these part numbers.

Left part no. 15904034
Right part no. 15904035

hope its not too late.

Not too late! Glad you provided the correct part #'s!

Thanks!

Yes, I know.
Then it's not 10 minute plug and play at that point. It's extra work.
