I ran them on my 2007.5 - They do come with the adapters - just pick the one for GM - I have emailed PIAA to confirm 2017 fitment........

Please let us know what they say.

 

Thanks!

One thing to consider with the wipers is when you buy a truck off the lot, think that the wipers have been sitting in the elements not doing anything since its build, could be months, just drying out. When we replace wipers, they're used all the time with washer fluid, in the rain, multiple times to keep them hydrated. Its not that the ones that came on the truck are garbage, it could just be that the truck has been sitting and they've dried out. Would happen on any vehicle that sits for months and not used the wipers. I run the OEM ones on my truck, first set lasted 2 years, replaced with OEM and so far so good.

Rain x washer fluid is great to maintain the repellant coating, but nothing beats a hand application of the real stuff

I recently replaced mine with Bosch Icon OE and was really impressed. Much better than the factory wipers

The left wiper streaks all the time on my '17 All-Terrain. Only have 4500 kms on it. I'll be replacing them STAT!!!

I would tell your dealer you want them replaced. Wiper blades are not officially covered by the B2B warranty but at under 3000 miles you shouldn't be having problems with them yet.

I'll let them know when I bring it in for the first service.

 

Thanks for the advice.

I have had good luck with PIAA Silicone. Mark me down as a fanboy for Aquapel, it lasts 3 or 4 times as long as Rain X and doesn't smear when it wears out. With a good coat of Aquapel on your windshield you can get by with just about any wiper blade.

32000 miles on OEM blades. No problems at all. I do use RainX applied and their fluid,

Wiper blades on my sucked the first time I used them. I recommend the Bosch Icon as well, but dang they're $50 for a pair.

Before you buy anything, always look at amazon. It saves me a lot of money every year.

    • I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons. 
    • Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.
    • Better than stock but that's like putting lipstick on a pig
    • Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks, 
    • Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
