Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I want to upgrade my wiper motor so that i have intermittent, slow, and fast. or at least int and fast. the standard wipers are soo slow i may as well have em off
anyone else thought of doing this?

Compare your wiper speed to another Sierra, you will probably find its just yours that is slow. Old motors that regularly have to scrape mud off the screen burn a few of the windings and slow down. I'd start by replacing the motor. If you want intermittent you can fit later model wiper motor and switch (may have to run 1 more wire). I don't know when they started with intermittent but my 89 has it.

My 84 has intermittant wipers,butthey are slow too,Cheers Paul.

Maybe your Pov pack did not have it.

Also check u getting full power there. may need to reroute some power

the drover might. cant remember.

yeh good old pov pack.. jsut realised yesterday they didnt even include rear demisters :| not that i would use it but ffs! haha.
cheers guys ill chase up a later model and ill check voltage as suggested nic.
need to still pillage your old drover

check the pivot points coming through the windscreen surround,they can sieze up slowing down the wiper motion.

yes i noticed this today in the rain but wont worry about it untill it starts raining again properly

You can even try "servicing" the system by removing the wiper arms, pivots, linkages and motor. Clean them up, replace anything broken, lube and put it back together.

Usually a VERY cheap thing to do and often works a treat.

Had exactly the same thing on my GU a few weeks ago. $300+ wiper motor quote (just for the motor) as opposed to less than 2 hours of my time and maybe $3.75 worth of lube.

nice one jim ill go down that path also i think.. check wiring/lube it up.. swee bring on the mud and rain!

Drover has Int. wiper speed.. just confirming!! not that they do a whole lot... rekon its a bargain sprayin a dollars worth of the car wash wax onto the windscreen and letting the water bead off.. actually works better than the Int.
