wiper speed

On a 71 C10, are the wipers variable speed? Mine seem to only have a slow speed.........

Re: wiper speed

Does your switch have 3 positions? If so then it is a 2 speed wiper. On cold mornings my has off, pause and glacial.

Re: wiper speed

Great responses!

The control seems to be turn clockwise and the wipers crawl across the glass but you can continue to turn the control knob like a rheostat...... no change!

Re: wiper speed

These are hilarious... True but hilarious.
Maybe we should move this to the joke thread because they kinda are.
all joking aside mine are a 2 speed and I had added the delay they do pretty ok but there are times I wanted more.

Two things come to mind. One is the switch has failed internally. Second it's possible someone installed an earlier one speed wiper switch in your truck. But I believe it would not be like a rheostat but more two distinct positions.
