After a long hiatus I am back!!!

And here to stay! After getting rid of my '05 cummins in 2008 I have been regretting the decision since the day I traded it. I spent 2009-2014 in an 02 F350 7.3 that just about bankrupt me with all the problems it never stopped having. For some reason, I will blame it on temporary insanity, I traded that truck in on a 2014 F150 Ecoboost. That ended up being a decent truck and was fun to drive but it had some issues that Ford flat out would not fix and more or less told me to deal with it. So for the past year I have been keeping an eye out for a Ram 2500 6.7. This weekend I was able to find a 2015 lease return that only had 12,000mi on it. I was also able to sell my Ecoboost the same day and brought home the truck I should have purchased a year ago. It's nice to be back and I have not intentions of ever leaving again unless my wallet runs dry.

The only downside is the truck did not come with tow mirrors, still scratching my head on that one. Are aftermarket mirrors such as the ones from A1Auto ok or do I need to dig deep and buy OEM?

I'd say buy oem ONLY because the new trucks mirrors have the temperature sensor in the arm, aftermarket may not and it would set off a bunch of check engine lights

The ones I am looking at have the temp sensor in the driver side housing. BUT I found a set of OEM mirrors on Ebay for the same price so OEM it is.
