    Thannnnk you,
    The mirror is modle Gentex 177, it's a GM mirror, so at any junk yard are plenty,
    You need the temp sensor also, or you can buy these off eBay with the wires and complete setup
    for 75.00, got mine off eBay and had all the parts I needed for 75.00,
    It's pretty easy to do just takes some time and patience, 2 hours, had to run WIRE through head linier, so HAVE to fish it though to the side post cover and run wires to power under dash and the other 2 wires to
    the head light area for the temp sensor. It's great to have a mirror that dims automatically now and
    have the temp and compass there all the time. Also a photo of my GPS mounted on steering column out of the way.
    Is a nice clean setup and replaced the single map light with a dual lamp.
    Also 2004 door mirrors are a great upgrade as you see here

    Original miles--original engine, original tranny. Doesn't burn oil, still shifts fine. Unreal.

    Nope. A bazillion miles ago I did remove the PS reservoir and clean the filter.

    Oh--this summer I did the lower ball joints.

    I'm on the fence, a new rack OEM is 600.00, A USED OEM rack is 150.00, If I can find a low mileage OEM
    rack I would go that way, if not I will go new, I will start looking this next week or so.
