Has anyone tried to put 3rd gen mirrors on our trucks power and all ?

 

it has been done... i have the 02 tow mirrors on my 98 theyre just like the 3rd gen except they have a 2nd base (wuch fits on the 2nd gen door, and they arent powered...

to have power mirrors you need a set of 2nd gen tow mirrors and a set of 3rd gen tow mirrors, and take the base from the 2nd gen and the mirror from the 3rd and put them together,... at least thats how i understand it!

 

I did it on my '99, bought both sets on Ebay and swapped bases, then sold the leftovers for a little extra cash.
I had almost all the functions working but the wire colors are different, you'll have to find somebody that will give you a diagram or experiment yourself.
My main concern was the heating capability, and taht was easy to connect.

 

why wont the sport mirror bases work......just swap the tow mirror and the sport mirror and use that base? or is that a no go?

 

I went with mopar manual towing mirrors. I love them. After a while you will be able to get within a 95% range when adjusting them after flipping up/down the first time. I went from the chrome power to the manual mopar towing and the looks alone are well worth it. I have some pics up and down in my gallery.
