ECCPP Towing Mirrors Tow Mirrors Replacement fit for 2002-08 for Dodge for Ram 1500 2500 Pickup Power Heated Towing Side Mirrors Pair Set Passenger & Driver Side View

It took me about 20 minutes per mirror to install them on my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel 4x4. I watched a Youtube video on how to pull the door panels off and that was a big help. I did the whole replacement process with a phillips screwdriver, torx (T4, I think) and a 10mm socket wrench.I did not have the bent stud problem other purchasers experienced. The studs were long enough to put a fastening nut and tighten them down OK.The adjustment motors work fine, and I don't see any abnormal vibration in the mirror image at highway speeds. The heaters appear to work, but there hasn't been much ice on them so far to run a good test.The parabolic (convex) mirrors are independently adjustable - they do NOT move with the motorized mirrors. You push them with your fingers to adjust once, and then they stay put. They take a bit of getting used to after using the stock convex mirrors, but they work fine for lane changes and merging into traffic. I have not tried driving with the mirrors in the towing position but they are easy to flip. The mirrors fold inward towards the cab for car washes and busy, narrow-street parking.Some notes:The studs on the mirrors are either angled very slightly or the holes in the truck doors are. Mine were NOT bent. To install, use some gentle "percussive persuasion" to pop the studs into the holes. In short, an open-palm smack on the outside flange will pop the studs into the door holes without issue. I consider this a feature - it holds the mirror on to the door securely so that you can tighten up the nuts without a second person holding the mirror on the outside. A light smack works fine - don't overdo it. Make sure the studs are lined up with the holes before commencing the persuasion process.Next, the gaskets that come with the new mirrors are useless. Throw them away.I used the old gaskets and they fit perfectly. I think that the people that had problems with stud length probably had new, "fat" gaskets that shimmed the outside flange so far out that there weren't enough threads showing on the forward stud to put a nut on. I'd try pushing hard on the outside flange while threading the nut on the forward stud and see if that helps - or just use the old, compressed gaskets and make sure you line them up with the flange.I'll bet the folks with vibration issues have problems with the gasket or torque on the nuts. Don't overtorque the nuts - it looks like it is easy to pull the studs out of the flange if you really crank on them. If you under-torque them, you might have vibration problems too. Pro-tip: Use the old gaskets.The only issue I had was with the packing material in the boxes the mirrors shipped in. I am talking about the manufacturers packing, not Amazon's. The manufacturer packs the mirrors in cheap Chinese styrofoam that has all the structural strength of a moth wing. Styrofoam crumbs went E V E R Y W H E R E when I unpacked the mirrors. I spent more time cleaning up the little plastic beads than I did installing the mirrors.

Upon receiving the mirrors, the package was pretty beat up, however, when opening the box and removing the mirrors to inspect for damage, no damage was found. Trying to install the passenger side mirror. I found that the stud locations are not exact to the whole locations. To correct the issue I grabbed a drillbit index and drill and drilled all three holes to the size of the spacer that is located in the hole towards the front of the truck. The drillbit is barely smaller than the inside diameter of the spacer. After this procedure was done. The mirror was fit onto the door starting the top nut. Then starting the nut for the hole towards the front of the vehicle and then the last nut was installed and then all three tightened in a triangular pattern. I then connected the wiring harness and tested the mirror. I used the same identical procedure for the driver side mirror assembly. Then test drove the vehicle. The mirrors vibrate a little bit as expected. Even the factory mirrors on this truck had a little bit of vibration.In all the mirrors mount solid, they operate correctly. For someone with mechanical knowledge, installation may be a breeze, however, for somebody that is very noticed with mechanical knowledge. May have a hard time installing these mirrors.

I recently purchased and installed these mirrors. Following up EECCP contacted me via e-mail to make sure everything was alright with my purchase. I sent them the following e-mail.Good moring EECCP Auto Parts,I have received the mirrors and installed them on my 2006 Dodge RAM 1500 Quad Cab 4x4 pickup. I am fully satisfied with the product. They are solidly built and will support my trailer towing needs perfectly. I would/will give this product a good review. I did have some issues/problems during the install that I'd like to bring up. I was able to deal with them and get the mirrors installed to my satisfaction, but they may be things you'd like a chance to address in future production runs. This information would also be good for new prospective customers to know for when they make the decision to purchase this product. I will detail the issues I dealt with in this message. I have pictures of all the items I'm going to line out, but I'll save those for the Amazon review. Nothing really bad.1. There was a jagged tab on the passenger side mirror that appeared to be left over from the injection molding process. Initially I thought it might be a tab designed to go into some sort of retention or alignment slot. I took the passenger side mirror off my truck for comparison. There was no associated tab on the original mirror nor was there any slot in the door to receive any such tab. From the shape and location of the tab and close examination of the tab I believe that this is most likely a leftover from the injection molding process. I applied a small amount of pressure to see if it would cleanly break off. No such luck. It was very firm and ridged. Finally I decided to take it off with an angle grinder and cutt-off wheel. This worked perfectly. No damage to the face of the mirror body. This did require close attention and a steady hand, but it did buzz right off.2. The electrical sockets on both mirrors (driver and passenger side) were not snugged down. The screws were sticking out of the mirror backs far enough that they prevented the mirrors from lying flat against the door. After several attempts to get the mirrors to lay flat, I spotted the problem. I was able to snug the screws down to where it appeared they were meant to go. After that, the mirrors could lay flat against the door no problem. Again, this was the case on both the driver's side and passenger side mirror.3. The forward most stud mounted in these mirrors is too short. I've installed the mirrors on my 2006 Dodge RAM Quad Cab 1500 4x4 pickup. I don't know if other year pickups have a different setup. I don't think so since I did see this problem mentioned in the product reviews from a few other customers on Amazon. I can't say this was completely unexpected. All three of the studs mounted in these mirrors are equal length with about a quarter inch of un-threaded stud at the end of each. In the forward most mounting whole, the un-threaded portion is all that makes it through. No way to get the provided nut onto that stud. I was able to easily take the original stud out of the original mirrors, and not so easily take the provided stud out of each of the new mirrors. Not so easily because the base of the studs in the new mirrors is round. The base of the originals is hexagonal making it easy to get a wrench on. The recommendation from some other customers through their Amazon product reviews worked. Not exactly easy, but it did work and I was able to get them out and replace them with the studs off the original mirrors. FYI, the original studs are exactly the same length as the new ones. The difference is that originals are threaded all the way out making it possible to get a nut on them and secure the mirrors.4. The exterior plastic of the mirrors did not completely conform to the truck. On the leading edge or forward most edge there is a detectable gap between the door and the mirror. Also where the molded plastic meets the window rubber. The plastic is squared off and the rubber is more round. The top at least on the driver's side also appears to be slightly warped outward preventing it from completely laying down. It appear that part of the problem is the mold. Or at least a difference in the mold and my truck. I'm not exactly sure what the other part is. The areas that don't quite lay down at least appear to be the correct shape. Not sure what could be done there. Maybe a heat gun, but I know I would mess that up. They fit close enough that no one will see it if I don't point it out. They do look good.As you can see, these problems were minor. They did require a bit of mechanical ability, at least one tool not everyone will have, and some trouble shooting know how. In the end, I think these very minor problems could be solved with one small designed changes (choice of mounting studs), and better quality control (clean up the injection molding residue, and tighten the screws). As I've said, they are installed and working perfectly. I'm happy with the product, especially for the price.Thank you for making contact with me, and I hope this input is helpful.

Overall, I am very happy with the mirrors. Easy to install, adjustability and view is great.I did have to trim the gaskets, so they didn't stick out and one of the mounting studs istoo short to get a nut on. but they are solid, fit great and a good upgrade.I would buy them again, very nice solid mirrors.
