Windshield washer on 'roids
When I bought my truck, the washers weren't working so I bought and installed an $8 seal kit. They worked, but I had forgotten how bad a design the factory setup was. I discovered that a couple of the members on the site had upgraded to newer gm designs, so I thought I'd try it too. I went to the junk yard and picked up a tank and integral pump from an early '90's Chevy truck. They're rectangular in shape, hold close to gallon of fluid and have enough power to shoot the washer fluid over the top of the cab. and it was $3 cheaper than the seal kit. I would highly recommend that before you replace the stock washer pump or seals that you look at a newer pump and tank instead. Easy install and works 20x better than stock. It's nice when a cheap mod works so well.
