K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors # KS62135-36G are a confirmed fit for your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 LTZ with power/heated mirrors. These towing mirrors retain the power, heat and turn signal functions of the OEM mirrors and they install using the same mounting points.
I reviewed the online owner's manual for the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and the section concerning mirrors provides a lot of good information but makes no mention of a thermometer being installed. If one is present, that function will cease to operate if you replace OEM mirrors with new ones like the K-Source # KS62135-36G that do not have that function already built in.
A better option for you would be a slide on tow mirror like part # CM10950 which will fit your factory mirrors and won't interfere with any electronics in them.
