2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Outside Mirrors Wanted

[SSM]

I have a 1995 Ram, bought myself an enclosed trailer for work & play. Now I need some outside mirrors to see who's following me. Can anyone recommend a replacement set for me.

There was a tread last month or the month before about towing mirrors it was either on this forum or towing/hauling forum.

I'm using flip up electric, heated, tow mirrors on my '96.

This is in the FAQ of this section:
Dodge Ram - Towing Mirror Upgrade Information- '94 to '06

This covers what you need to install aftermarket towing mirrors on the various years of Dodge Ram pickups.

It covers where to get parts for conversion to the aftermarket flip up heated tow mirrors, and how to adapt to various years Ram wiring.

Both heated & power. With the websites above, you're paying forty bucks more per mirror for free shipping.

Watch out for a lot of these mirrors, such as those I listed above, as they don't come with the factory reinforcement brackets that bolt inside the door, and you need to buy those from Dodge or a Wrecking yard.

Also those listed above are manual non heated mirrors too. The ones on speedy auto parts listed in my post above are power & heated. The kool vue mirrors are the way to go.

Whoaa, hey, easy. Ok, so you got the best price, thanks for the link. Same part number as what I got in the mail last week..... 'bout my luck, find a cheaper set the week after I buy two pair... ... do those come with the reinforcement bracket?

 

[firefighter_2000]

Sometimes

Not sure. I've read a couple of people that posted saying that they got their Kook Vue's and the reinforcement brackets were included. It doesnt specify if they are on the website. But I know in years past they were NOT included. We might be able to find out from the mfg if they include them now or not. If anyone knows for sure, let us know.

i bought mine this year and the brackets were not included but they are only $15 each from dodge. i am very very happy with my mirrors. just be careful when installing to NOT pinch the wires. ask me how i know. lol

 

[firefighter_2000]

Whooops

So what would happen if you did happen to pinch the wires?

[JohnBoy5]

well the wires i pinched causes my mirror switch to start smoking when i was trying to adjust them. i do have to say i was happy that the harnes did not melt and the switch took the heat!

... I've also seen some of these that are grounded wrong. When you adjust the Passenger side mirror, it moves the driver side down... . WTH? My '97 did that the first time I wired them up on it... . back then, the only power ones available were for the '03up, so I switched out the bases, hard wired the plugs. I thought I did something wrong until I put a set on an '02 recently, and it did the same thing. 10-15 sets have come and gone, and I've had two that were wired wrong. Luckily, they've been good ol' country boys, and they don't care as long as they can move the Passenger side without getting out and the driver side can always be set manually.....
