97 Sierra build

[Suburban1500]

Picked up a new daily today! 97 Sierra ext cab. Has 170k on it and picked it up for 2500. Not a bad deal!
Although the wiper motor crapped out on me on the highway in a torrential rain storm. I'm going to put in a new one tomorrow.

Not sure if you know it or not, but it is most likely that wiper pulse board instead of the actual wiper motor.

I thought so, i just wasn't sure. I had to jiggle the connector to make them work.

I would love to however the cops wouldn't. Lol. I could probaly get away with 20% however. Now in NYS you wont pass inspection unless it allowes 75% or more light to pass. But if i do 20% and know a guy i can get it passed

Gave it a bath and cleaned out the interior.

Tried cleaning and polishing up the wheels the best i could with wd-40 and fine steel wool, followed by chrome polish. They came out ok but still not 100%.

Also noticed that someone did this. I wonder what they were thinking..

There is a procedure for fixing the wiper board. Essentially all you do is melt the edge solder connections with an iron and "re-flow" the connection which works loose over time. I haven't done one but would not hesitate to try it before buying one. Nice truck and should clean up nicely.

Wipe pulse board is a very easy replacement. Did mine last year in less than 5 minutes.

Nice looking truck!
