Wiring looks great!

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I appreciate that.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Oh no mate, what happened?

• did you fry a chip on the VCU?
• is your inverter not starting again?
• I know, you welded closed another contactor in the safety box?

... wait what? your windshield wiper motor doesn't work!!!

OMG, luv it, that's what we call our daughter and her BFF (born less than 24 hours apart)

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Make sure you move the right and left side linkages by hand to make sure they move freely.

Also make sure that the wiper switch has a good ground at the dash....

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

thank you great tips, is the OEM star washer enuff to ground the switch on the dash? or is there some VooDoo required?

Original star washer should be all you need...

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I agree, best looking EV ever.

Nice work keeping the cost down. That's got to be cheaper than a typical LS swap.

just hanging out with my Biggest Fan

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Your truck is looking soo sinister, like it wants to sneak up on you with bad intentions.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

any of you all use this before? like it?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I've used it and it works well.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

A Metallica fan awesome!!:metal:

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Sad but true!

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I use the RainX windshield washer fluid in the washer reservoir and get the same results. It even reapplies itself and stays put in the rain.
The best part is when you hit about 50 mph and the rain just beads off and you don't really need your wipers on.
It's a great gift too if you're looking for something that is relatively inexpensive but every time the giftee uses the washer, they'll think of you.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

oh man that's cool, I didn't know they offered that, I must try that in the wife's Honda Pilot, she uses that squirter thingie daily, lol

Awesome video! How's that new couch working out for you? :haha:

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

thanks ha ha, right? now just to find one of these, (only true bachelors will understand)

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Cover that with a red and white checkered tablecloth, put it in the back of the VW bus, that would be my 5th birthday party. Times were sure simpler back then. ;)

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

my wife's attempt at hiding my Christmas present

What do you think it is?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

New dash pad?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Agree, it looks like a new dash pad. If this is your wife's attempt at hiding a present, she must not have been good at hide & seek as a kid.:lol:

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

that was my first though ...dash pad ....if so that's the best wrapped dash pad ever my damaged bumper wasn't surrounded by that much cardboard ....well I will have to wait for Xmas morning to see what it is :) along with Mr. G

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Not a big enuff box for a Gregski deluxe dash pad. If thats a Christmas present, it's got to be underwear, and a cape.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

that made me snort my coffee, yeah she must have been the "I'M IN HERE" kid

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
