Universal wiper motor for 73-87? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

louder50 · 08-21-2009, 07:51 PM

Has anybody ever used one of those universal type wiper motors like the street rod guys use? Looking for a reccomendation on using one of anybody here has.

nah but i would like to see this thread.
stock ones are to SSSSLLLLLOOOOOWWWWW.......that was on high

Yo! Mine is a direct replacement from LMC. Wiper/washer in one unit for my '78. Functions as stock. Not too expensive, either.
They origonally sent me the wrong unit (wiper motor only) and asked me to keep it when they sent the proper one,...so I have that for anyone who can use it,...postage only.

how do you know which one you have...my wiper motor sucks...I'll take it for the shipping if you can tell me how to see if it's the one I need...thanks...

put me first in line for that...

asphaltburner · 08-21-2009, 11:55 PM

The new one is still in the origonal packaging. I'll get a pic in the AM so you can check for a match. Identified by the number of electrical plugs,...mine has two, most have one. I'll include a pic of mine for orientation.
Got any pics of yours?
Todd.

I would use this http://www.detroitspeed.com/productp...ersal_prod.htm

3r!c84 · 08-22-2009, 10:39 PM

this is cheaper

asphaltburner · 08-22-2009, 11:48 PM

Yo! Fat Hoe! (geeze that sounds bad!)
Just checked the item I have, and it is ONLY the washer pump and does not include the wiper motor. Sorry, I thought I had what you needed,...it's been awhile since that step. I'm gettin' old, too,...killed off most of my brain cells by now.
BTW, '73-'81 are compatable truck to truck even though there's like three different ones. They are identified by the number of electrical plugs attached to the washer pump. I think LMC can supply you with one and they aren't TOO expensive. I simply needed a washer pump and had to buy the entire unit (pump and motor) due to the lack of availability of the pump!

*Stitch* · 08-23-2009, 08:52 AM

I need a washer pump also...mine doesn't work...lol

and you can call me Chuck if it makes you feel better...

*Stitch* · 08-23-2009, 09:07 AM

Mine has two plugs...what does the new one have?

thanks
Chuck.

first pic is of the washer motor
second pic is the diesel in all it's glory

asphaltburner · 08-23-2009, 12:07 PM

Yo! Fat Hoe! (I kinda like that, if it's OK with you, Chuck!)
Well perhaps I CAN help,...perhaps only with ID and source.
Little hard to tell from your pic, but my 8MP Sony got this just now:

Does this look similar? Third mounting point is behind the washer outputs and I don't have my squirters attached yet (gotta attach the nozzles to the new hood).

*Stitch* · 08-23-2009, 02:31 PM

yeah I'm 99% sure that's what I have...

*Stitch* · 08-23-2009, 02:33 PM

Fat Hoe is fine also...don't have the tahoe anymore, but everyone knows the name so...

and what do you mean by ID and source...if it's numbers, tell me where to find them

asphaltburner · 08-23-2009, 04:12 PM

Yo! I'm back.
I'll dig for my LMC receipt and get you the proper order info. I meant ID by eye, and number of plugins,...the source would be LMC, in this case. If it looks like this, you've found the match. Back shortly.
Todd.

LMC has the wiper motor (remanufactured) with washer pump for '78-'84 for $99.95, with a $15 core charge. 36-4054-Z. They're at 1-800-562-8782 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. I've dealt with them alot, and I like their people, quality, and service. Not cheap, but I've never been disappointed.
Louder50 would need this unit, or the '73-'77 unit 36-4052-Z for $89.95 with the same core arrangement.
Todd.
P.S. I live in the country too, and proud of it. Like you, I'll not change that, either.

so this is what I need, not what you have?

asphaltburner · 08-23-2009, 04:56 PM

Yo! Both,...'78-'84 is how they list it. Isn't yours an '84 C10? And visual ID is sufficient. I was checking out 20+ junkyard trucks of these years and they all have similar units, just different number of electrical plugs for the washer pump.
Mountings are identical, and wiper control arm attachment is also.
