2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Will these mirrors work???

[EBottema]

Hey guys-



I just got those (4 letter word 'in) door panels off. I really do hate plastic :-laf



Anyways, I want to upgrade my chrome power mirrors to the later style black plastic ones used on 98-02 trucks.



Is this the right setup for me? The part # correct?

yep, those will work just the wrong year truck in the picture they used.



BTW you did know they are manual mirrors right!



I just ebay'd me a set this weekend for $207

yupp, those will work. last year, i switched from my chrome power mirrors to the tow mirrors. they bolt right up.

I was wondering, if I bought these mirrors with the power option if the harness would match up. I was thinking of doing the same thing, just hung up on having power mirrors. any help would be appreciated.

Hey Mike.



If you want the trailer towing mirrors with the power option you need to do this. Buy the 2nd gen trailer mirrors (approx 200 bucks) and the 3rd gen version which are around 250. You have 450 dollars into a set of mirrors. For the rich, go for it but I dont think the extra 250+time is worth having the power option. In having my truck for almost 1 year, ive only adjusted my mirrors once, lol, when i bought it... .



If you want to send the money, seach for trailer towing power mirrors in the 2nd gen forums and there is lots of talk about it

For me (and others) it was worth the time and money. I'm surprised how much I like the heat option, since I didn't think I'd use it. The power adjust is invaluable when you go from normal (down) to trailer-tow (flipped-up). You are ready in seconds and can fine-tune them once underway. Even in the down position, I have powered the right one down to aim at the rear wheel during precision parking manuvers.



It's your preference, of course. Try out the manual mirrors (you'll like them better than what you've got anyway), keep an eye out for a deal on the power version, then decide if you need power or not.
