does any one know if the flip up heated power mirrors that come on the 03 Ram 2500s be fitted to an 01 Ram 2500? ??? ??? Thanks

 

The bases are different so they won't directly bolt up.
However, the heads are interchangeable, so a few have bought a set of each, disassembled them and swapped heads.

I have sent several e-mails to Dodge asking why they can't offer these mirrors for the 2nd gen trucks.
Their response,....not enough interest. :

 

**cough** Not enough interest??! I'd love to have a set of those new mirrors on my '99. Sure beats slipping on those tiny PIA trailer mirrors every time I hook up.

 

Send Dodge an E-Mail.
They don't know if folks don't speak up.

 

I have the flip up mirrors on my 01 Sport, exc they're not powered or heated.

So if there wasn't enough interest, why are they available on 3rd gen trucks? What a bunch of crap from Dodge.

I'm sending my email...

 

The problem is they won't built them with the OLD bases for the 2nd genners.

 

OK, so if I really want to make the swap and I have to buy both new and old mirrors, does anyone have any idea what it costs for both sets?

 

Check the classified section for deals.

 

I just bought a replacement for my 02, flip up style-non power
from this outfit http://www.chryslerpartsdirect.com/. Their price was $75.36 each side. 2 local dealerships told me I'd have to buy both sides - prices were over $250. Anything I looked at on their site looked to be priced reasonably. Try a search on their site or call them. Parts managers name is Larry.

 

I just had both side mirrors replaced by Dodge. Heat didn't work so they replaced the whole thing at no cost to me. Still covered by 3/36. I asked the service guy if I could interchange the flip-up heated and power mirrors from an 03. He said that he never heard of such a thing. My question is what do I need to mount heat/power extended 03 mirrors on my truck and is it difficult to do? Do I just need to buy an 03 heat/power mirrors and mount them on my new base? Thanks.
