Default Mirror swap

I still looking for my 07 3500 with a 5.9/auto trans, inventory is very slim. I have located a model setup the way I want except for the side mirrors. I want the fold-away trailer mirrors. Does anyone know how difficult it is to swap out the standard side mirrors for thefold-away factory trailer mirrors.

Pay the dealer hell! Make them throw the mirrors and install in or walk from the deal. Or at least make them split the cost with you.

I gotta high jack this thread for just a minute.

BLEWMONEY, do you know if Dodge has upgraded the fuel filter to the new 7 micron filter? I asked my dealer last time I was in for a change and nobody there knew. They all looked at me like I fell out of a tree. If they have, is it the same part number or did they change the part number?
