Towing Mirror Gears - Ford Trucks

These motor & gear sets fit flawlessly! My mirror, in this case drivers side, fold and unfold much faster than the OEM equipped passenger side. I went with the brass gears and did notice that function is a bit louder than the OEM plastic gears but not objectionable so.

Well worth the effort to fit these aftermarket parts as it fixes a part you can’t buy from Ford and better quality. As with Ford you have to replace the whole mirror . If I could make a suggestion only to have a you tube or manual to show how to pull apart and refit .

Very straightforward. Excellent products.

My mirrors didn't do anything or make and noises when attempting to fold them. The 2 mirror kit with the gears installed is definitely worth the money. They fold great now. For anybody doing this repair make sure you take your time and follow the directions and you will complete it without breaking anything. Just some advice for anyone doing this. I had a stripped main gear in my passenger's mirror and I didnt want to try and find a new one. So I rotated it 180 degrees and installed the mirror in the open position and it worked great. The mirror doesnt even move 90 degrees from open to closed so dont be afraid to put it back together with a bad main gear, that side isnt used.

Driver side motor & gear set. Opens a bit faster than passenger side but a bit more noisey. Well satisfied.

Forget ‘kill all the lawyers’ and change it to ‘kill all the bean counters’. In what logical world would anybody put plastic gears into a truck mirror system. The ONLY reason is to save a few bucks per truck and pocket the difference. A quick show of hands would reveal ANY F250 or other truck owner would gladly pay a bit more upfront to get something that lasts. Listen Ford, we did NOT go shopping for a toy truck we went shopping for a work truck. Bottom line, Gruven makes parts that fix Ford’s F-up.

Dirver's mirror no longer continued to power fold on my 2011 F350. After installing 2 new gear sets and 2 new motors I am back in business. Turns out my lower arm motor was bad. Install is a little challenging but doable. Would be nice if the DIY instructions were modified to remind installer that both upper and lower arm gears must be indexed exactly the same. Upon first attempt to reassemble I discovered that my upper arm was now about 5 degrees off from my lower arm. My mistake. Had to tear down again to adjust the motor gears to match and then reassemble.

Well I just saved $2600 by not buying new mirrors!! Thanks to GruvenParts, and the diy video, the job is done and works great. I would add to the instructions that by extending the mirror, it’s much easier to disassemble the plastic on the arms. I would also add that retracting the arm after the plastic arm covers are reinstalled, makes assembling the mirror a breeze. Thanks again,

Install went pretty smooth following the directions given by Gruven. When I first put the mirror back on it seemed to be in a bind and didn’t want to fold not sure what was going on. I email Gruven and got a response very quick. And after folding and unfolding many times the mirror works better than it did new. Actually opens and closes faster that the other side now. Very happy.
