Its what i thought it was. Just in case someone else needs to know...
"I did this on my 97 and it was completely plug and play. The wires for the heated part are already in the plug on the door harness. Just unplug and remove the non heated mirrors, the bolt on the heated mirrors and plug in. They activate with the rear defroster switch, so there's nothing else to add besides the mirrors."
Found that here.

HELP!!
On a 93 grand cherokee laredo v6, the car cranks up after a full turn then a half, what would that be? Also the car is slow on take offs and it takes up to 3,000 rpms to shift to 2nd gear, what could that be also?

I really can't tell, it has rough shifts, its takes from a start to get up to 3,000 rpms to shift then again to next gear. If i let off the gas, the car will shift. It hard getting up to 45 miles from a start, sometimes when driving it will stay at a certain mph until i press the gas real hard and it revs up

I'm prepping to replace my track bar. Picked up a new one today (Moog #DS1235). I reviewed the Removal/Installation procedure in my FSM which makes it sound like an easy enough task. The only "special" tool required is a universal puller. What (if any) pitfalls may I anticipate and/or prevent - and how?

The first thing you are going to want to do is have someone with a scan tool see if any fault codes are stored in the transmission control module. Your trans is electronically controlled by a module and most problems will store a fault code. It could be a solenoid, etc
If there are no codes stored it could be something like a throttle position sensor, or the throttle valve cable is adjusted incorrectly, hanging up, or damaged. Either of these things will cause delayed or hard shifting.

"...sometimes when driving it will stay at a certain mph until i press the gas real hard and it revs up".
SigFig, Your Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) plays a large part in automatic transmission shift-control. Search for threads on how-to test the TPS. You may find that the TPS is failing, but has not yet failed "hard" enough to throw a code.
Cleaning your throttle body is also a simple and effective trick for diagnosing issues like this...

About scanning the TCU, do you have to have an OBD1 scanner to do that? Also my check engine light is not on and when I do the on,off,on,off,on trick to get my engine light to flash a code, it only shows what it suppose to show, 55 which means test is complete
