Window Wipers?

Guys I was wondering have any of you changed out the slow wipers on pre 85 trucks to 85 or later wipers. I just cant stand these slow wipers anymore. Thanks yall

well, i wish i had the intermittant wipers. I know they are a pain when they go out, but having to constantly reach down and flip the wipers on and off when it's drizzling gets old fast.

So you guys think it could just be my wiper motor going out? Maybe I should just replace that and see where that gets me. Thanks guys for all the help

With my truck and the old worn out POS burnt up blankety blank battery and probably alternator, when i lose volts idling at a stop or slow speed, the whipers slow down. Ever notice if when your wipers are on if your volts look low? Just throwin things out there...

My '84 has good wiper speed..........no intermittant though.........that Darn module is out again and I am not buying another.
Toooo expensive and I can only get 10 years out of one.

Too expensive?? I found the modlue on rockauto.com for right at $80. Thats $8 a year to have the intermitants. Thats an AC module too, not a cheapo.

Mine are slow now with the intermitant installed. But I havent driven it in the rain yet since I got it back running. I'm hoping its b/c its sat for 2 yrs. with out being used.
