Question 55 to 59 power wiper motors

What power wiper conversions have you guys used?
Do any of them have delay?

Re: 55 to 59 power wiper motors

I have Newport wipers. I didn't buy the one with the delay. It's a direct bolt in, no thinking required, no rigging.

I used this one on my truck and I haven't had a bit to trouble.

Re: 55 to 59 power wiper motors

Will that interfere with the fire wall mounted brake booster?

Re: 55 to 59 power wiper motors

why would you want to use a firewall mounted booster on that beautiful firewall?

Re: 55 to 59 power wiper motors

Around here a lot of the bigger trucks had electric wipers, 1 1/2 ton or bigger. Have a look. If you grab the wiper arm and they move, it's a vacuum wiper. If it don't, that's the one you want.
