I put on one aftermarket on my 2000, not the same style, but it vibrated so bad I took it off and just RnR'd the original. You have to be careful about manufacturer. I find that parts that are rated for insurance claims tend to be much better quality.
yes the 98 up mirrors have different shape and I found from experience the same thing you did.. they vibrated like HELL.. so blurry at 65 they were useless
on the flag style mirrors I haven't read anything about vibration issues but certain brands have fitment issues,, LMC has still not responded to my questions so that's kind of
**** poor customer service
I may just buy from amazon since they have a no questions asked free return policy .. if it suck it will go right back
Ok, my notes a little cryptic from 3.5 years ago when I replaced my mirrors, but if I'm reading them correct then the below is true. Note: I did have to cut off the connector/harness from the OEM mirror to attach to the new mirror.
Driver Side:
White wire from mirror connects to the Red wire from harness
Blue wire from mirror connects to the Green wire from harness
Yellow wire from mirror connects to Blue wire from harness
Passenger Side:
Yellow wire from mirror connects to Purple wire from harness
Blue wire from mirror connects to Red wire from harness
White wire from mirror connects to Green wire from harness
thank you.. i have a diagram i made around 2001 with photos that posted on all the sites
but i cant find it.. backed up to a CD or DVD
There is certainly one added for the towing mirrors - not sure if that really helps for the stock style mirrors. The issue I had was related to the post that connects the mirror to the wedge mount that bolts to the truck's door. If something hits the mirror, the post ended up flopping around and caused the mirror to vibrate when the truck moves.
Isn't there a reinforcement bracket that goes on the inside of the door to help stabilize the mirrors?
For me, it wasn't a reinforcement problem - the mirror housing was not rigid as stock was. I put a new mirror in the original housing, surprising how easy that was - just pops out - and snap the new one in. I cleaned the housing a few times with meguiar's ultimate black. Looks pretty good, and the housing is solid ALL the time.

The best restorer is Meguiars Black Spray. It's almost like spray paint. You have to mask off everything though. I get all my replacements through 1AAuto and haven't had any vibrations problems
