Hey guys,
Well the saga continues..
My husband just received his 2022 Chevy Silverado with plow package and a $9000 plow set up. The “gully” under the blades is, as described above, filling with moisture and snow as we plow and he continually has to get out and bang off the wipers and chip the ice out of the gully. We have good air flow and temp level. Part of the problem for us seems to be that the stop for the wipers is just below the windshield. Only a tiny, tiny bit, but enough where the only thing we have found to fix it is to have the defrost on max and the wipers on at least maximum delay mode. Any slower or cooler and they freeze right up. As I’ve read above, annoyingly hot and loud!! Even if it’s not snowing we have to do this because the snow dust from plowing is enough to cause this problem!!
And.. we have had several plow trucks over the years, (including one Ford, SORRY) and we have never, not once, had this problem. I think maybe, let me know what you think, if the stop for the wipers was a little higher, it would help quite a bit. My husband said you have to watch for the stop at the top too and a few other things I don’t quite understand but he plans on exploring this via you tube and hands on experiments. Pretty bad when you waited 4+months for your truck because of the chip shortage and paid 10’s of thousands of dollars to have something like this happen on a PLOW truck!!
Chevy!! Come-on, help us with a fix!!
