    I keep seeing articles that say it's buyer's market out there.

    I always like Penske for used. They are maintenance FREAKS and keep the records. No guess work there.
    You can buy a 200K warranty for $4K too.
    I mean stuff does wear out, and fail, but there's no doubt in my mind the driver is a lot of it.

    I took a team for road test a few weeks ago, hubband & wifey. He passed, she failed ( not even close ), and she put more wear on The Thing in 30 minutes than I have in 30 weeks.

    @Dave_in_AZ I have one of those mirrors on my 379 and I just looked at it. There is a plate on the inside with four bolts that hold on the mount for the mirror.

    I've also seen trucks with the mount still attached but the mirror and the post removed.

    That almost as bad lol. I was hoping it was mounted like that. Putting plugs in the holes might not be so bad. Something like carriage bolts.

    You can buy round head stainless bolts that use a torqx bit or similar bit to put in the holes. They wouldn't look bad. I know the mirrors are ugly but many guys love them for improved visibility.
