Man that is a pretty truck. I like the 99-07.5 Chevy and GMC trucks better than the new ones! I have a 1996 GMC and I added the dumbo elephant ear mirrors to it. Best money I have ever spent on it. Been very careful with gate posts and bushwacking.

In my silverado I hit a small tree branch and made a hole in the housing, but i never noticed it till I got on the hwt. going 50 and heard a whistle? Kept asking everyone were it was coming from, my son sounds like the mirror. I looked and sure enough it had a hole.
I ordered some chrome covers and put them on and no more noise and I ot the chrome to boot!
My mirrors do it all but the tilt in part and I wish they did!!

Haha!!!! Boy do I know your pain!!! I was on a 10hr trip in a box truck fighting the same noise. Finally found the small fracture on the outside of the mirror whistling my name. 4" of duct tape and oh the peace and quiet!!!!

I will say that is the only thing I like about some of the new trucks is the mirrors that auto-tilt when you shift to reverse. Pretty slick......I have to tilt mine down to even see the tire.........

I had an arrow slid over my antenna for a while. But on the interstate it would whistle. Drove me crazy trying to figure it out. Then it hit me that I just did the arrow. So that did not last long....

Thanks!!! and I agree, not a huge fan of the new styles.

......gate posts and trees have me VERY nervous. I dont ever want to make a call for a replacement!!!!
