I got a Gentex auto dimming rear view mirror that has a compass and temp display off ebay. It was around $100 and came with the wiring and sensor.

Since I was doing all the top-end work myself making the fuel injection system, etc. just as happy as can be, that was frustrating. When I finally changed the motor mounts it sat there purring like a kitten. Anything with rubber/vinyl/plastic composites or whatever they make motor mounts out of ain't gonna last forever, but of course a 7.3L engine will, so....
Humm, you have a good point there. Question is how do you check your motor mounts?

Really? Never thought of that but I like it! I'll have to look around. Is there any time of mirror that I'm looking for that will fit my truck?

Good way to use a Chevy? For parts?

Anyhow, good to know, I'll see what I can find as soon as I have $100.
