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



Strokin' Away

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

yes guy on Ebay selling like 25 sets of them. $144 brand new! we'll see when they arrive ill try and get some pics for u guys if they are in fact new :p

and 1999stroker i meant 144 for both, meaning $72 each!

the mirrors came in and they really are brand new never been opened! installing them today, so will let you know how it goes.

i have one more question

there is a foam pad that goes around the cord housing in the back side of the mirror and it is dried out because there is no adhesive paper piece to keep it sticky. i dont know why
