anyone else, or am i just a dumbass?? towing mirrors..
 

well got my towing mirrors in today and went through the process of taking off both door panels and both old mirrors...

i tried to put the new towing mirror on, but it seems like it wont line up with the door. i called the people i ordered from, and they said that it should fit my year model (2001, 2500), and also the studs wont go through the mounting bracket far enough to get my nuts on...

already dark out, so will have to continue tomorrow if i decide to.. should i send the mirrors back and get different ones, or are they all the same...? i ordered them from AM Autoparts - After Market Auto Parts - Headlights, Mirrors, and More off of ebay. they have a 99.9% positive rating.. i dont want to pay return shipping and get the same damn thing shipped back... anybody else have trouble getting their studs through the brackets far enough? :argh:

Did you get power/ heated mirrors or just manual ones?

There is a specific way to run the wires if you got power ones, if you don't do it correct it can cut the wires leading to no operation, also could interfere with clearance.

i got power heated mirrors and i thought that i should just shove the wires through the holes :humm:

Naw man you have to route them a specific way. I will try to find the diagram to help you understand how to do it.

ok thank you. i almost filled out the return form!

itll have to be done tomorrow after work.. shes sitting out there in the cold with no flippers :(

gotta drive the 6.oh god tomorrow :argh: :jump:

did you ever find the diagram, HRD?

the sick 0 lol did yoku get the bracket they make for them so there supported and dont flap around

the title of this makes me giggle man, hope you get them on:c:

The problem is it seems like the mirrors werent made for my truck. The studs wont go far enough in the bracket for me to get the nuts on :argh:

Yea there is a specific way to route the wire... I just dont remember, and cant find it on my computer :argh:
