Are there any upgrades for my wiper motor for my 1986 K5? I have the delayed setup.

What type of troubles are you having?
I was lazy one winter morning and tried to run the wipers under a snow covered windshield.
Smoked the motor.
Symptoms Included erratic wiping action on the delay settings, ran on the high setting, random park functionality.
Got a new motor from NAPA and been golden ever since.
They are weak. Just lame. The motor is weak and I have not even tried snow. Ha and probably never will.
Some one suggested taking the transmission assembly out and lubing the pivots. So I did that on mine. It made a big difference, but even with doing that, and a new motor, they still suck. Lol...
I'm sure theres one in a bone years on an as yet to be found car that's a bolt in and better.... But how to find it

Unfortunately you can't fold the wipers off the windshield on squares like newer trucks.
When we get 3 ft of snow over night, I understand there is no way that puny motor can deal with it and scooping the snow off is neccesary.
But even a few inches of snow bogs the motor so badly it fries.
Of course, at minus 20 with a 6.2 diesel, I am not in a hurry anyways.
