Today I noticed one of the rubbers on my wiper was separating. They're crappy anyways, oh well. I looked at a bunch, and was gonna go with the usual rain-x, but was wondering if people were having better luck with other styles/brands. I was kinda wanting to try the spring ones, they have a lot cleaner look.

I would go with the bosch wipers, I had a set of the rain x wipers on my truck for three years, which was awesome!! However every now and then the wiper would seperate from the arm .. it was really just a design flaw and they shouldnt have been two piece .. Its hard to explain but where I found a weak spot in the rain x wipers they are different on the bosch wipers.

I've found over the years that the OEM blades seem to last the longest. I've tried many other brands and they just don't perform as good. :thumbs:

The best wiper is a new one, I've had bosch I've had rain-x I've had Michelan, they are all the same its a wiper and I replace mine once a year.

 

They are cheap anyways and nothing beats a fresh set of wipers for the winter!

I've always used rain x wipers and love them. I decided to try the bosch icon on my '08 and replaced them about 3 months later with rain x. The bosch made a lot of noise when wiping like the rubber was extremely hard or something and they also left streaks.

I've tried them all, and the OEM were best on mine. Oddly, I recently put a set of the cheapest autozone wipers on my old Honda... and those things work better/quieter than the Neoform I put on the truck at the same time! (The Neoform perform about the same as the high end Bosch, Michelin and RainX models to me).

Thanks for the input guys! The rain x on the 3/4 ton seem to do good, I'll prolly go with the Bosch or the OEM; where's the least expensive place to get OEM wipers?

I went to the car store and picked up some Icons, buy one get one half off. Wow. Way better than the ones it had. They do a lot better job cleaning off the windshield, plus have a much cleaner, simple look. Thanks for all the input! :thumbs:

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
