Wiper arm upgrades?

[88GMCtruck]

I dis-assembled my wiper arms and added the GMT800 washer nozzles to them. These were in addition to my OEM cowl washers. I also added a second fluid reservoir.

Do you have any pictures?

Nope, haven't taken any.

Okay cool, I've been wanting to replace my for a long time cus they look like crap but didn't really know how to get them off. I heard once you take them off and put them back on they have to be set just right or they won't work properly? Also should I do the upgrade or just stay with my year?

The posts that the arms fit on are keyed. Mine went too far over after I took them off the first time. Instead of messing with the wiper mechanism inside the cowl, I just took a dremel & ground off the key on the post. Took a couple of tries to get the wiper in the right spot, but that wasn't hard to do

Dylan, you did yours a good deal different than I did. Your wipers being the later style are slightly different in construction. I had to remove the spring and drill out the rivet to install the mid washer and then re-rivet everything together. I'm also running 2 pumps and 2 reservoirs. 88-95 trucks have a fender mounted reservoir so I swapped the inner fender, added the lower reservoir and toolbox.

I was noticing that you can easily add a second GM pump to the tank where you drilled your hole to add the nipple. You just need to get another seal and pump for it.

I assume that spot is for the rear pump so just grab a tank from the junkyard from a tahoe/suburban with the pumps already attached. My way was easy also, doesn't leak and inline pumps are easy to find on european vehicles (although the one I bought at the JY turned out to be broken ). A T-fitting on the factory line worked perfectly though.

I haven't attached mine yet, just ziptied right now (surprised they haven't blown off yet). I'm not going to bother with the rivets. Just epoxy them on there.

I might have to go take a look at those dorman nozzles on that rustang website. Those look like they clip on nice.
