Tanner has been daily driving the truck and loving it. The other morning he woke me up at 5:00am with a wiper blade in his his hand. It was raining hard so I told him either improvise a repair in the rain or drive something else but don't scratch the glass! It was a good and simple lesson in "old truck problems". Well he ain't quite MacGuyver yet so he drove something else and I found on a solution. The blades they make to fit the bayonet style arms just don't fit well and the old stainless arms are weak. I found a Dorman arm that is a direct swap and uses j-hook blades. Great upgrade, nice firm contact and I can buy replacement blades for $1.99/ea. Dorman 42631 if anyone needs them.
The truck looks great and I get a kick out of covering everything in snow foam myself, haha. Good tip on the dorman wiper arms. Do they also make the $1.99 blades, or is that someone else?
