Yes sir, think that is what I pay here in Washington, but put on myself. The passenger side entertains the neighbors, as I use some "colorful" language to get the old one off. Wife's Tahoe much e

We get a considerable amount of rain and I like to replace my wipers on an annual basis. I went through various brands before I settled on buying whatever my dealer supplies. If I am not satisfied, I go back. and they make it right. Buying select brands off the shelf at an auto store has not proved to be worth the bother. I have it done with an oil change.

Are they the original blades? Perhaps that is why they streak on a 2015 2 year old truck? Heck wipers are 12/12k on new vehicles you could've gotten a free pair under warranty at one point in time.

 

OEM and the AC Delco Winter beam are the only ones that have ever worked for me.

Bought my truck new in December 2017 Sierra day one the drivers wiper was complete crap streak city. I contemplated going back to the dealer to complain that a $50k vehicle should have come like this but instead I just bought a set of Bosh Icon blades and have been pleased.

I had to replace my wipers within 6 months cause same thing, streaking and making that horrible scraping noise across the windshield. I just had them put on OEM's and these have been fine the year I've had them.

Hard to beat the SILICONE RUBBER in the PIAA brand blades........ #97055 (22")............. Easily found on eBay and Amazon............ A set has lasted 3 years on my rigs - you get what you pay for.........

I'm a fan of the hybrid design blades. I use Michelin blades primarily because they're always on sale at wally world. I have had great luck with Bosch and Rain X blades as well in the past.

 

And +1 on applying rain x on the windshield. Cheapest mod you can do with one of the best results, being able to see better!

I recently replaced my oem blades with some bosches (not the icon though), and they still skip across the windshield on the drivers side like the oem ones did for me, even though they're brand new...

 

Could it have something to do with the spring in the wiper arm or something else.... I find it hard to believe a new blade can be an issue like that. I haven't tried swapping driver/passenger blades yet to diagnose, just wondering if anybody else has run into this perhaps

I also run the Michelin Stealth wipers and bought them at Wally World as well. Combined with Rain-X on windshield and their bug juice the rain sheets right off.

Check out the Goodyear Hybrid blades at Costco for $7.99 each. I've installed them on my sons' and daughters' vehicles recently and they fit and work well (obviously better than stock). For you Costco Special Owners, this is a particularly good fit.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By AndrewF · Posted

      I am in the market for a bidirectional scan tool so was hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. There are so many options out there it is hard to narrow down which make/model to choose.   I have always done my own vehicle work so looking to maximize capability with the scanner. Ideal price is $1k or less but would be willing to exceed if it opens up significant benefits.  Currently my 24 2500 is the newest vehicle but also have a few mid to late 2010s Subarus as well.    It seems that the Autel MP900 has a decent amount of features at a reasonable price?

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.
