GruvenParts.com is pleased to announce replacement strengthened BRASS spur gears premounted to stainless main shafts and high torque motors for the power folding mirrors on all 2013-2018 RAM 1500 and 2500 trucks including Big Horn, Express, Laramie, Lone Star, Outdoorsman, Rebel, ST, Sport Crew and Tradesmen with crew, standard or extended cabs! Buy qty of 2 to fix both mirrors and SAVE!
Note you can also buy the complete metal cased drive units for both passenger and driver side if you do not wish to complete the labor required to install the upgraded high torque motor and metal gear. We accomplish this for you on the complete drive unit option and please note there is a $30 core refund for sending back your drive unit in repairable condition (ie, center basket not broken, or unit otherwise damaged beyond repair).
As many have discovered, the power folding mirror assembly on these trucks suffers from a thin, weak, plastic spur gear mounted to the main drive shaft. The plastic spur gear cracks at the slightest impact or just wears out over time causing an inoperable folding mirror. The RAM mirror motors also get weak and die quickly. Unfortunately, RAM will only sell you a complete folding mirror assembly, which will cost you MORE THAN $800 ea after labor, depending on the year/make/model. And that $ would be wasted on yet another mirror assembly with another weak, plastic factory spur gear and weak electric motor that will also soon fail. Don't your waste time or hard earned money on more RAM mirrors that will also soon fail! UPGRADE TO LIFETIME WARRANTY METAL GEARS AND HIGH TORQUE MOTORS !
GruvenParts.com has addressed this issue by designing a strengthened spur gear made from solid gear BRASS with a thicker cross section to eliminate the stress concentrations which cause fatigue cracking in the OEM plastic gear. We have also designed a replacement high torque electric motor to accompany this new metal gear. Our new electric motor is required when switching out to the metal gear, as the ground circuit in the OEM motor does not allow for a metal gear to be installed. You can buy the gear/motor combo for one or both sides with the spur gear pre-attached to a new machined steel main shaft. We have thoroughly tested our redesigned spur gear and high torque motor using a new, OEM mirror assembly and computerized test equipment. Our test samples barely showed any wear whatsoever, and the testing did include random wacks against the mirror, jamming the mirror operation as it was folding, and manually stressing the mechanism all in an attempt the break the gear. Each sample was tested more than 5,000 open/close cycles and was still going strong at that point !
This product carries a LIFETIME WARRANTY! Provided you don't burn the vehicle, or otherwise smash the mirror into something, you can send back the motor drive unit to us and we'll replace the gear assembly and get it working again free of charge. You would only be responsible for shipping under this warranty.
Gears and Motors are sold together. Qty 1 will fix 1 mirror, buy 2 if you want to fix both sides. Fits Both Passenger and Drivers Side Power Folding Mirrors. You can also select the complete drive unit to same time and labor.

Quality parts with Excellent Instructions
Posted by Warren L. on 19th May 2023
Highly recommend. No plastic in this replacement part for my 2017 Ram side view power fold mirror. Built the way it should have been from the factory.
I had a question and used the email contact that was supplied in the instructions. Paul responded in a matter of hours with a couple options for me to try. He was spot on with his advice and I was able to fix the issue within 10 minutes.
The hardest part of changing this part out is removing the spring that's inside the motor housing.

Excellent quality
Posted by Larry McAdoo on 8th Apr 2023
Great product made right and of superb quality material. This is a complex process to rebuild these drive units, but if you follow the instructions, take your time and slowly and methodically go through the instructions and pictures you can do this yourself. I would recommend doing both of them even if you have only one mirror not working properly.

Much Better Than Buying Another Mirror
Posted by J. Warren on 13th Mar 2023
The motor and gear supplied by GruvenParts is far better, faster, and has more torque than the original motor. Someone jammed my mirror inward (not the direction it folds) in a parking lot and broke the plastic gear. Before spending an obscene amount of money on a new mirror, I bought this to attempt to fix it myself. It was a pain to breakdown the metal motor housing in my 2015 Ram Sport, but after everything was done it was definitely worth the trouble. I would recommend having a vice, 1" socket (or something similar) and a pair of small channel lock pliers to compress the spring and orient the collar where it comes apart.

Excellent Fix For a Faulty Mirror
Posted by Ken B. on 11th Oct 2022
Ordered the complete motor unit for the driver side mirror on my Ram 1500.. Following the instructions posted on the website, replacement was easy and took about 45 minutes to complete. The new motor is a little noisier, but it works flawlessly. I highly recommend this fix for the faulty mirror motor that FCA puts in their trucks.

Can't Believe How Well It Worked!
Posted by Scott on 16th May 2022
I saw the Gruven replacement gear and motor for the Ram 1500's on one of the forums. Mine had obviously gone out and I was not willing to pay the exorbitant amount of money for a shop to do the work. I ordered the parts, they came in two days later, and when I was ready to begin, I realized I really needed a step-by-step guide so I didn't cause more damage. I emailed your Guven help center and Paul was quick to send me the link to your step-by-step guide. Paul was awesome and helpful. I dove into the project, and to my disbelief, when I got to the step that said I should see the broken gear, I looked and there it was, the broken gear!!! You guys know your business, and I can't say enough great things. I put it back together, and again to my disbelief, it works perfectly now. Many thanks for what you do.
