Wiper Motor 72 Truck

Has anyone bought a new or rebuilt wiper motor from LMC or other suppliers and been happy with it ? I need a new one and not sure where to get one .

Re: Wiper Motor 72 Truck

Several years ago I bought one at local Autozone. I don't remember if it was the new one or the remanufactured one, but I've been happy with it. The old one I had used to run in super slow mode.

On mine I removed the pump cause I couldn't get it to work right even after I got a repair kit for it. I rewired it so I could still use the stock wiper switch.

I would think many of auto parts stores would/could get them. Maybe not.

Re: Wiper Motor 72 Truck

What's the diff between something from Wes and something from Schucks? New vs reman, or why is one better than the other?

Neglecting the fact that either the new washer pump on my Schucks one doesn't work or I installed it wrong, but the wiper work and the pump doesn't :-(

Re: Wiper Motor 72 Truck

Before I got mine from Wes, I bought one from 'another' source. Brand X was 'rebuilt' but looked like crapola. The one I got from Wes looks like a new one. Now some might say, "whos going to see it/". Answer... I will.
