Locked the hubs in before Christmas just in case it snowed then forgot about them being locked in and went to the store for some gas Friday and remembered that i have two ujoints that need attention lol.
But the washer works too?
AND...it all works and looks GREAT!! I had never bothered to try to replace the wiper motor due to the Haynes manual making it sound harder than it actually turned out to be. I had done something similar to my 1973 Dodge Charger and 1973 Plymouth Satellite so I was not looking forward to it.
There was a foam ring type of washer thing that was with FRANKENTRUCK's old wiper motor. I did not reinstall it due to it being so dry rotted and useless-looking. The new one did not come with one either. I wonder where I will end up finding one?
Don't worry about that foam seal, I have forgot to put them on before, all was well.
I can change that wiper motor in about 2 minutes I think. My '84 has been through 5 or 6 of the remanufactured junkers. This last one only worked right for 2 days, then the washer quit working. I'm just going to install a newer unit with a remote washer pump.
What brands of Reman have you gotten? I need to replace my wiper motor before inspection in January.
All of them, lol. I've bought them from Advance, Auto Zone, Napa, and then Car Quest too.
Think the AC/Delco reman would be any good? Do you have any experience with that one?
Went on a mini road-trip that produced this....
Got it for $25.....
I plan on taking pics along the way as I take it apart and clean it up. It's own little mini-thread. Or start one for my truck. Anyways, I was excited to get it and needed to share with guys that understand, unlike my wife!
