Ford Towing Mirrors
 

I dont know if this is the right place as it is not technically "diesel" related, but they are found on ford diesel trucks as you all know! :humm:

My truck has the small non-towing, power mirrors.

I have a 2003 F250 6.0, and I was wondering if the towing mirrors bolt up with the exact same pattern as the mirrors I have? It sucks hanging my head out the window because i cant see past my trailer... I would like to hook up the power/heat towing mirrors on my truck but im not going to buy them until I figure if they bolt up or not.

And also is there a way to hook up the heating element also even though mine do NOT have the heated function?

Thank you in advance!

Yes they bolt right on. The heated part I believe you have to wire it up to a switch, try searching it.

thank you! im glad to get a fast response because i actually found a brand new set for only $140 power and heated!

also one more off-topic question :p

i am looking at buying a triple guage set (fuel pressure, pyro, and tranny temp) and i was wondering if the guages would still work if i swapped a new engine into the truck down the road..? im wanting the guages to moniter this engine until i get the money for a cummins :p

Yes. You just have to re-drill and tap for your pyrometer, and if you change transmissions you will have to re-do the trans temp. As for fuel pressure I don't know how those are ran my friend.

Is your truck standard? If so there's really no need for a trans temp gauge, and I would add a boost gauge in there somewhere.

nope my trucks auto, but when i swap in a cummins i will also swap in a nv5600 6 speed

is it okay if i just leave the heated mechanism unplugged for now until i get around to hooking it up to a toggle?

Should be just wrap electrical tape around it

ok man thank you! ordered a set of power/heated towing mirrors for $144.00! Not a bad price.. dealership wanted $150.00 each!

I paid 200 for both but their not ford

Was $144 new? That's a great price, cheapest I found on c/r was $100 a piece used, no heat or signal
