Towing Mirrors

[dripley]

I cant speak for CSM, but I have the same ones on mine and am quite satisfied with them. Ther is a little shake at speed, but the visibility is just fine. I don't think they shake anymore than the OE manuals my truck came with. If they do it is not noticeable. IMHO of course.

Thanks dripley. With hauling season quickly coming up again I need to do something. Thats quite a reasonable price for them compared to $400+ that Ive seen. Too many blind spots with my little mirrors Im constantly breaking my neck one way or the other to see whats behind me. If I adjust them to my load/chains I cant see traffic and if I adjust them to the traffic I cant see my load.

Guys,I need to order a set of tow mirrors. Last truck I had, was both power and heated factory mirrors, so the tow mirror choice was obvious..This '97 truck has power only (no heat). Are the plugs the same as the power/heated for the 2nd gen trucks? Is it difficult to add a heater circuit for the mirrors?Thanks,Rogan

I got the set that CSM linked above and like em so far. (big improvement with traiker on)The plug should be the same, as far as I know they all come pre wired from the factory.

thanks. I'll prolly order a set today. I ordered from AM AutoParts for my last truck, and I see they have the heated/power with brackets for $200 free shipping right now.. Since I swapped from my Western Hauler bed to the OE bed, I can no longer see beyond Dodge's fat hips

check this out Rick http://www.elektro.com/~charlie/mirrors/ I may have mis led you a little, i was going by memory of a friend who did the install. After my earlier post, i started 2nd guessing myself on whether he installed power heated or just power mirrors. Hopefully this helps a little

PERFECT! Apparently, making the heaters work is cake.Also, my 97 plugs are different No problemo, though. I'll make a crossover harness. Thanks for the link; that'll help a lot.

I have the factory manual mirrors. I love them but HATE re-adjusting them by myself. So if I unhook at our destination & try to not fold them if we unhook.

Tow mirrors are on. Oh how I've missed you, my friends!
