For a factory anti-theft/keyless system you have to replace all of the wiring in the cab. For just power mirrors you would have to replace both door harnesses and mirrors - the drivers harness runs all the way across the cab behind the dash to the other door, so you still have to pull the dash, just not as "far" LOL.

I got my OEM power mirrors from a JY and gave them a fresh coat of paint. No rattling or vibrations.

No, you can overlay the wiring to add aftermarket or factory RKE. But it'll be messy unless you tuck it in the dash, run it through/behind the dash, or zip-tie it to the dash.Depends how much someone else wants to charge you to do it, and how much you spend DIY-ing. If someone else wants thousands, and you do it for a hundred, you've saved thousands.It's aftermarket MANUAL mirrors (mainly bubble-backs) that vibrate. The only place to get OE (original equipment) parts is the junkyard. IDK who the OEM (manufacturer) was for '92-96 mirrors, but they're certainly NOT making them new any more - only aftermarket copies (probably from China). If you have manual flag-mount mirrors, it's relatively easy & cheap to convert them to power using JY parts. Read the captions in this album:

Detailed the old girl today .Broke out the DA polisher, polished with Dodo Juice Lime Prime them sealed with Wolfgang paint sealant. In a few days I'll add a later if nuba (something from Bouncers probably) and she'll be set for another few months.

Swapped out the coffee can today for the plastic replacement part. Pretty easy job, just had to extend the vacuum lines a few inches because of the different angle of the connections. A few couplers and a foot or so of hose and it was done.

BLD, that's not too bad of a job. I used a combination of a scissor jack and my floor jack to support the beam. I used a Ball Joint press to change the bushing. Not difficult at all and it made a difference in the truck..

I have that next on the list of things...I haven't looked; did you have to drill mounting holes for the 3 studs?
While I am there on that fender, I'm going to re-install the Heater core bypass valve to improve my AC performance. Hopefully the plastic vacuum can is the answer to the puzzle.
