Lower that was a nice mod. What wiper motor is that?

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Very nice! Your trans controller is pretty neat. Keep the boost below 20 so you can enjoy it for a long time!

making it look easy

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thanks It's the rear wiper from a '97 s-10 blazer
Thanks Diesel I'm going to run max 15psi.
You know it's not :)

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

As of this morning I have working wipers, tail lights and brake lights. For the wiper motor arm I used 1/2"X1"X5" but 1/2"X3/4"X3" would work. The center hole is 8mm with a 10mm step 3/4 of the way through. That is the profile of the wiper motor shaft. The pivot holes are 5/16" and I used a 5/16"X 1.5" bolt so the arm will pivot on the shoulder, then double nut. 2 vids of wipers.

That's slick

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

This is great info! Is that center hole tight enough to interfere with the splines on the motor shaft, or are you just relying on the end nut to keep it tight enough?

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

I need to copy that instead of buying the 150 buck replacement.....hmmm, nice work amigo!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

That's slick! That's will help out a lot of us! ��

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thanks guys I was dreading this part but it worked out quite nice. I had trouble finding info on how to do this. So I hope I explained it well enough. For $35 for the motor from a wrecker it's a great deal.
JJorgensen52 Bit of both the 10mm hole is drilled as a pilot for the arm and the angle down to the 8mm will grip on the splines. Then the nut will hold it as well. I ground a 10mm drill so it had a bigger angle on the tip.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

super dope! what a great mod. I hate to admit I threw away a blazer rear gate before pulling the motor.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

As of now I have gauges that as I can tell work and all my LED dash lights work.
I'm going to plug the block heater in tomorrow morning and fire the truck up. The only gauge that is not hooked up yet is boost.

Thanks. I think first test drive will be middle of April weather permitting. I have a 2 week holiday trip coming up in 2 weeks, so after that I should be able to pull it out of garage to the driveway for some testing.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

On Saturday my boys came out to the garage with me and they started the truck after a coin flip. I'm happy to say all the gauges work. :metal:

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Truck sounds real good. :metal: Warm weather is coming soon. :bann:

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thanks 99
Thanks R1 I'm happy with how it turned out
It was much easier than I was expecting.
Thanks I know I cant wait. I'm really hoping for an early spring.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

I love the sound of them old 7.3's. Can't wait to hear it run by on the road.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

You will my friend you will...... Well in a video at very least. ;)

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Great work! Is that your radio below the dash with the pic of the GMC? Also, is the pyro/boost gauge a glow shift? I've considered getting one of their fuel pressure gauges but I know they have had big issues in the past with being bad.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Just caught the video. Great sound and a ton of cool features in your truck!
