Gonna need towing mirrors

[618 Syndicate]

Thanks, I think i'll give them a shot when I'm ready to order. For the money they seem good enough.

I"m sorry I can't be more helpful.

I received the Trail Ridge but havent installed yet because getting them painted white. 1 thing i noticed, each mirror is missing 1 mounting stud.

Look carfully inside all the packaging materials. There should be a small bag of hardware.

They all shake, the mounting pad and door structure just isn't there. Both sets of mirrors I bought, one from Heath Diesel and one from Boost, had the left and right wired backwards. I bothered to fix it on my 1500, but just plugged them in on the dually. Funny because Boost claims to test them all before selling them.

I went with Boost and was overall unimpressed. Wiring wasn't quite right, they don't adjust far enough up for me (I'm tall) and they shake pretty badly on the highway. I end up just using the lower portion of the mirrors while driving as they offer good visibility. I will say that I'm a sucker for the lights, which is why I spent extra on them. Now I just need matching clearance lights on the roof!

Mine arrived the same way. Had to re-pin the connector to get them to function correctly.

finally sent them back because I couldn't deal with the shake, it was ridiculous. Horrible product, and they tried to give me some grief about the shake and my doors being sloppy in the hinge and whatnot, but eventually gave me a refund.

Seems like a $100 mirror jacked up to $400+ because it has some added LEDs on it.

This is how I see it as well.

Here is the set i ordered. IMHO they are solid. I have had no problem with shaking(yet) I have driven up to 70 mph with no shaking. Once i figured out the wiring they have worked perfect for me. I have not driven any dirt roads yet and my truck runs/drives very smooth.
I think the shaking problem may come from not tightening the mount bolts tight enough but that just a theory. I tightened the heck outta mine.
My truck had a 8 pin plug. The mirrors came with a 4 pin plug for the power mirror part. Took a bit of work with a test light used on the truck wiring to figure out the two up/down left/right combos for the 4 power mirror wires.
Used a 9v battery on the mirrors to figure out that wiring to get the 2 pairs figured out. Heated part was easy. I still need to hook up the running/reverse lights but that should also be easy when i get around to it.
Anyway here are a few pics showing my wiring color combo i ended up with for anyone in the same situation.

Nothing there, 2 studs are installed, the upper is missing on both sides. Not a problem, I can find something. Dont want to install till I paint them white.
