2500Hd wiper blade length

[Steve-Maine]

What is correct length of wiper blades. Mine on left side hit left side moulding.  Is there a adjustment on arms or should I buy shorter blades. Thanks

You can unbolt the wiper arm and reinstall it slightly rotated if necessary.  Note, you only want to do this if the wiper has enough clearance along the bottom of the windshield when it is parked.

There was some wear and slop oriented issues with the plastic "ball type" joint in these from 2000 -2007 as I recall.

They wore and broke in the winter and Even O'reilly's stocked the whole wiper mechanism ( under the plastic "grate")

 I have replaced a few of them. Heavy wet snow that freezes can really mess them up.

First symptoms were the blade going to far on the "A pillar"  on the DS and basically off the truck.

 when the parts store has it readily available, its been breaking on people..

can you just buy the plastic ball type joint. Thanks for info, any part number

might be able to weld the rod that bent or cracked and bent, but you have to get it perfect or the wiper arm will come out and scrape the hood as it runs.  . If the plastic ball area is still ok
