Not parking her. Got those cheap Autozone seat heaters, my "winter front" and 300lbs of sand in the rear. I do Fluid Film on the entire underside of the truck before winter and hit it with Salt Away in the spring. No need (and kinda a waste) to park her for months. I do want to do heated...

It is my winter grill cover. Inexpensive Home Depot pipe insulation and a few zip ties. I do it every winter. It makes a difference in the amount of heat I can squeeze out of her in the winter. Diesels are fairly cold blooded and combined with no insulation inside, she can stay a bit of the...

So, pulled the cowl, cleaned out beneath the screens and lubed everything. Removed the arm from the ball too and lubed that. Arms move a bit easier now, but nothing that really made a difference. I did mark the hood hinge and just loosened the two bolts that hold it in position, then removed...

Yup, windshield was wet. Wipers are just really slow. It is supposed to hit 50 here over the next two days. I will try and pull the cowl cover and lube everything up. Here is a pic of the old motor, which was also slow (so I am thinking linkage could cause the sluggishness).

Damn ! That's a good price. Ordered mine yesterday, FedEx dropped it off about 10 minutes ago. Paid more, but all good.

Thanks Rick. Ordered the WAI motor. Got 20% off, so it came to $123 with tax and shipped to my door. I did one on my other 1009 years ago. Agree it is a simple job.

LOL ! My wiper motor just gave up on me on the ride home, just as I was making my way up the Sawmill River Parkway...........in the rain!!! I was looking at replacements and Advanced has a Carquest rebuild for $66, with a lifetime replacement and a new WAI with a lifetime replacement for $115...
