Does anyone have ideas as to how to get the blinkers on these mirrors to work? I know I need to wire them into my truck because my truck didn't have the bigger wiring harness.

You should do the mod to even them out, and then I think they plug into the factory door harness, even if the truck didn't come factory with the blinkers the harnesses are the same. Google "Chevy tow mirror leveling" they look goofy all raked up, check mine out

There are two different harnesses, one is a bigger black one and the other is a small gray one. I have the small gray one so no blinkers. I'll tackle the leveling soon I hope lol.

Well, the M5OD has been giving me some feedback lately. A couple months ago I noticed that I could smell gear oil during/after long drives on the freeway, and after my last road trip (about 1000 miles round), I was coming off the freeway and got a hard buzz downshifting into third, and it's been pretty notchy ever since. So I decided it was time to drain and refill the ol'gearbox. The fluid that was in there didn't look toooo bad, but it wasn't beautiful. The truck only has about 114k on it, and I think it's had a pretty easy life - but I'm guessing it was the factory fill. There were some shavings on the drain plug, but not outside the scope of what I would consider normal.

Anyways, just finished filling her back up with some Mercon V. Nothing special, but the M5 is buttery smooth now =)

You can get them on Ebay. They are plug and play, mine came with an adapter for cases like mine where you don't have the harness for the blinkers. These are the ones I have:

Don't get them from that site though, look up their name on Ebay, I think they are like 150 or something. I got mine from a guy off craigslist and the receipt in the box was from the link I posted.
