Funky wiper ?
 

Ok my project crew cab is throwing me for a loop. I bought the truck with some mods so not sure we're to start. I do no it's a 1984. Old owner put 91 suburban clip. Now I'm not sure if it's factory column or not. What's hopping is the washer fluids come on when wipers come on. I haven't turned them on till now. Iv been Workin on drop in it and cutting notching frame, and it's a project so it wasn't a big concern. We'll I want to drive it and it's now raining. Problem. Any help greatly appreciated.

I had a similar problem on my '78. The washer pump was integrated onto the wiper motor via some crazy linkage and servo and the servo took a dump and the pump actuated every time the wipers were on. I ended up getting a wiper reservoir with integrated pump. Much better setup anyways.

Ok not to be lazy but what year does that come in. Part# would be great. Or#'s. Thank you in advance.

Your being lazy.


It may have come in 80's trucks or it may not have. I really have no idea.

Go pop your hood and look at your wiper motor. It will either have a washer hose coming off of it or it won't.

Not to be a jerk but I'm not a parts man.

Dam guy. I'm being lazy because I'm trying to put my 2 year old down who has the flu. I was hoping to order parts tonight with alittle help from Chevy guys. Isn't that what the forums are used for. We're not all smart ass dicks. Thanks for the help. I'll figure it out on my own.

My '83 already has a pump on the reservoir and and it still routes through the washer motor. Mine also, occasionally, will squirt while the wiper's operate. I notice it most in cold weather. I take it as a quirk of my truck and I just roll with it. My wipers have a personality all of their own. They always work when I flick the switch, but they will also randomly wipe at times. I can be driving down the road or it can be parked and the keys in my pocket, it waves at me.

Lol. On my k20 every third wipe would "thump" under the cowl. It was all origional so i just kinda... Laughed when it did it. Never figured put why.... :confused:

Re: Funky wiper ?
 

Mine did the same thing so I just drained the washer fluid and went like that for a bit. The problem is the wipers will over heat and shut down. I found this out in a rain storm. Oreilly's has them for a pretty good price and it was 20 minutes changing the entire wiper motor assembly.

If the pump is on the wiper motor like the motors from the 70's NAPA now sells a great replacement pump,It looks like the old replacements that still did the squirt squirt squirt but these are electric not run off of the motor gear assb. so they shoot a solid stream and of course shut off automatically and the best part is they bolt on in the same location and look factory for $35.00.

LOL. That was so pervasive that we even had a name for it: we called it "Phantom Wipe".
