One thing I did do when I got this stepside was address why the windshield wipers that wouldn't work. I thought it was the motor at first and bench tested it, and it was fine. I pulled the wiper linkage out because it was rusted and wouldn't move. I had another set of linkage arms from a truck I parted out and used some bearing grease on them and tried stuffing grease in anything that rotated. They work excellent now and hopefully won't have to worry about the arm seizing up again.

Should work for a good long time... I'm going to make sure mine are lubed up good too, but will strip them down to bare metal and all that jazz first. It's gonna be nice having all these things work like they're supposed to. I drove this truck for 3 years with lousy wipers, no washers, no back up lights, no neutral safety, sloppy steering column, drum brakes that locked up when you blinked your eyes, rattley ass windows and holes in the floor... the list can go on.
