    How Long Did Your Factory Batteries Last? I Got 17yrs, 4months

    Living on the wet side of Washington State we will get some days of summer in the 90's and an occasional day or two into the 100 deg F. territory, but nothing like you get in Texas. I was there a couple years ago, end of June-early July, when the African dust cloud hit Texas. The heat was bad...

    How Long Did Your Factory Batteries Last? I Got 17yrs, 4months

    I am just amazed that these batteries could work so well for so long.

    How Long Did Your Factory Batteries Last? I Got 17yrs, 4months

    I believe that you are right. I bought the truck in 2020 with less than 30,000 miles and I seem to be averaging 5,000 mile a year now, which is pretty good considering I'm retired and have 2 trucks and 2 cars for my wife and I.

    How Long Did Your Factory Batteries Last? I Got 17yrs, 4months

    3 - 4 years does seem to be the new normal for batteries now and it is getting harder to find 3 year free battery replacement. I was going to buy my new batteries at Costco until I discovered they are now prorated only with no free period. Walmart worked out to be the best deal for me with 36...

    How Long Did Your Factory Batteries Last? I Got 17yrs, 4months

    Until yesterday, I would have believed that your 14 years 10 months would have been some kind of world record for 12v batteries. I would be more inclined to think that 6v with thicker plates and wider gaps between plates would much more easily get 10 + years. I am simply amazed that these could...

    How Long Did Your Factory Batteries Last? I Got 17yrs, 4months

    I always thought that 8-10 years was the lucky max life a person could get out of a battery.

    How Long Did Your Factory Batteries Last? I Got 17yrs, 4months

    I am 2nd owner of 2006 Ram 2500, 5.9 and I got a low voltage code for my anti lock brakes. I put both batteries on the chargers overnight, cleared the code and drove the truck around a big country block, scanned the truck and code was back. Voltage on both batteries were just under 12.8v, so I...

    1A Auto Trail Ridge power fold mirror stopped folding

    I can hear no noise or clunk or sound of slipping it just goes from 90 degrees to about 45 degrees and just stops. I have no pictures of the inside of the gear box. The reason I stopped removing parts is that it appears that at least a portion of the rear cover is attached to the aluminum gear...

    1A Auto Trail Ridge power fold mirror stopped folding

    Yesterday I opened up the mirror. The mirror glass turned out to be very easy to remove with a medium size flat tip screwdriver. There are 12 tabs on the back of the glass that snap onto a hub on the tow mirror assembly. To remove the glass you insert the screw driver between the tow mirror...

    1A Auto Trail Ridge power fold mirror stopped folding

    Thank you for your help and information. I will take another look on Amazon. I checked a few weeks ago, but the only Trail Ridge I could find were manual folding and not power fold. I have seen another brand with power fold, but since I had such good luck with no vibration and being trouble...

    1A Auto Trail Ridge power fold mirror stopped folding

    Gruvenparts responded to my email this morning and was wondering if I had any pictures of the motor. I'm Hoping that Ozymandias might have some pictures of the inside of his mirror from when he opened up his mirror. I hope that Trail Ridge just made a 3rd Gen to 4th Gen adapter arm and then...

    1A Auto Trail Ridge power fold mirror stopped folding

    This evening I was parked next to what I believe is a 4th Gen truck and I had some time to closely compare my mirror to theirs. With the exception to the inner arm that bolts to the door, these two mirrors looked identical. My inner arm was shorter. When I got home a few minutes ago I did a...

    1A Auto Trail Ridge power fold mirror stopped folding

    That is correct. Mine came with a switch and harnesses. The mirror fold control switch is now mounted just above the E-Brake release. I do thank you for your help and suggestions. Ken

    1A Auto Trail Ridge power fold mirror stopped folding

    They very well could be the same, but since these trucks did not originally come with power folding mirrors, there really isn't a standard or OEM connector for 3rd Gen trucks. There is a chance that these mirrors were made by the same company that made my Trail Ridge mirrors, which would...

    1A Auto Trail Ridge power fold mirror stopped folding

    Thank you I have looked at them a few times and have been kicking the idea around. The one thing that has given me concern is that the wiring and or connectors may be different than what I currently have installed. I would hate to go through all of the rewiring and if the new switch for power...

    Unfortunately, they emailed a UPS shipping label and said they would send a refund after they received the mirrors.
