Tow mirrors from dealer - Different lengths?

HI, I bought some tow mirrors, Heated and power. I got to looking at my truck and the driver side mirror arm is 2 or 3 inchs longer than the passenger side.

Is this correct? Seems weird!

I called the dealer I bought the mirrors from and I got one of those Maybe it's supposd to be.. I said, you don't know do ya. The manager is supposed to call me back.


Update: never mind.. the guys at the shop I work at decided it would be funny to swap a mirror with another truck. LOL Also greased my door handle. Turned on all my stuff, cable tie on the drive shaft, strapped hitch to a tree. At least they put my mirror back on. LOL..

I'll double check the door locks from now on.

What year?

Mine are the same length.

I used to have "friends" like that....nailed my toolbelt to the floor, butter on the riflescope, ketchup packet under the toiletseat etc. Real clowns those guys.

Just keep threatening and they will be looking over their shoulder for a long time. Actions don't always speak louder than words.

Sounds like a great plan, Busboy! I'll do that. But, I've got to stir some action, I told my buddy I was going to get a couple bags of sunflower seeds to dump in the cab. just to get the rumors started.

whiskers, Ha!! now that will get some attention!! Love it!


Any suggestions are welcomed!!

Minute rice in the radiator if you are really looking for trouble!!

We used to mess with the hottest girl in school by pouring some antifreeze under her Beetle to get her to come to autoshop and ask for help. She did twice then her old man was on to us!

Tell us what you do!

Smoke bomb on top of the fuel tank? Rear axle up on blocks? I once sprayed 5th-wheel lube into every door lock and into the padlock on a toolbox a guy had in his pickup.

One of my cousins watched some football players carry a bug into the gymnasium. There was a screw at the top of the divider in the double doors to take it out, he didn't know that, and had drove it to every door in the place trying to get it out.

Cut up some of those tree shaped air fresheners into confetti and dump it down the defrost vents.

The guys I did that too drove around with the windows open for a month even though it was -20C!

"Kick Me" note taped to his back is an oldie but goody.

If they get in your lunch box the old exlax brownies are a real treat, just make sure you make a good batch and walk into the group finishing one off kinda quietly, planting the seed for destruction. Then crawl under the mens room sit downs and latch all the doors.[*]

A guy tried a few of the same things on me as they got you with. I filled EVERY drawer of his tool box FULL with the metal shavings from the brake lathe, greased every drawer handle underside, put water in his riding boots (motorcycle) then put in the freezer, and finally sent him a glitter bomb to his house. He never messed with me again
