Speed up wipers

How could you make the wipers go faster on our trucks? Does it mean new wiper motor etc?

Thanks

Re: Speed up wipers

cleaning andlubricating the wiper towers and pivot points of the linkage might help

Re: Speed up wipers

If they are going really slow like 2 or more seconds to make a trip up and down your windshield I would recommend a new motor. Make sure you lube up the linkages under the cowl. Mine only have 2 speeds off and fast. I have just been to lazy to change the dash switch to get the slower setting.
