Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Quick note if using the OEM Dodge mirrors for the conversion. There has been a change to the mirrors and they no longer will work for the conversion.
What has happened is that the original power mirrors that were an "AM" part number have been superseded by new mirrors with an "AO" part number. The new mirrors (AO) fit through the 09 model year as well as the 3rd gen trucks. However the bases from the 2nd gen non-power mirrors no longer will work with the new AO superseded part number mirrors. They look close but will not work. You can pick out the new style AO mirrors by the metal at the break away junction, if it is silver (unpainted) then it is an AO series, if it is black it is an AM series. You can really only see that metal junction if you pivot the break away.
I have gotten mirrors pulled from local dealerships with the old AM series to make my conversion work but you will have to work with your local parts man to make that happen.
Good Luck.
