Be careful about buying those mirrors. They probably won't fit your truck. Notice that they say "new body style". In '02 they changed the body style on the 1500 trucks but they didn't change the 2500/3500 trucks until '03. These mirrors will have a larger base that goes with the new body style and won't work on the 2nd gen. trucks. I think the same company does make the mirrors for the 2nd gen trucks but all of the ones on that page were for the new body styles I believe. I'm not saying that they aren't good mirrors, just make sure you get the ones that fit your truck! Hope this helps!

 

sweet. good to know :thumbsup:

 

I'm looking at a getting a set of Kool-Vue towing mirrors. Ive heard nothing but good things about them. (fit and finish) I would assume they are similar in quality to the ones your looking at.

 

just a thought, but on the same website the one's for an 01 don't say "new body style" I bet those would fit (at least the manual one's would)

 

I have a set on my 01 the only thing that I will say is be carefull about how you route the power wire if you go the wrong way you can cut the wire.

 

I've got a set of OEM towing mirrors on my '99 and put the Kool-vue on the '97, there's a big difference in price but you get what you payed for. When folding the passenger mirror in and out it will occasionally bind up.

 

thats what i was worried about. i bought a $200 set when i fist got the truck. so i dont want a $100 mirror on one side, and a $40 on the other.

 

i got my Kool Vue heated power tow mirrors and i love em.

i got my ol set of stock mirrors kickin round somewhere.

 

spend the extra coin and get the power heated ones, you won't regret it. Buy the ones listed for an 01 so that they fit, if you get the power ones the part number is dg49el and dg49er

 

I regret getting the power heated. Half the time they don't work and when they do they'll start going one direction and then start going to a weird angle.

 

I've got the heated power ones on my 01 from that site. They fit great, have to watch the wire routing. If you do get the towing mirror you will want to get the backing plates from rock auto. com, or a dealer. They are too heavy of a mirror to hang with out the backing plates.

 

:ditto::ditto:

careful routein the wires. i pinched mine and sent em back for a new set. put the new set on and havent had a problem since. :thumbsup:

 

thanks for the input yall, keep em cummin' :thumbsup:

 

so ya got manual mirrors? :confused013:

that no fun

 

just got some but havent installed em yet where is the proper way to fun them so they dont get pinched? ouside the door between the panel?
