Jimbo, I started to chime in after you posted but I didn't take one of it under the dash and probably can't till Monday. You'll probably have it figured out by then? I'll watch this thread.
I have mine parking right but it only wipes about 3/4 of the way to the outer edge of the windshield.. I did not do any adjustments, yet, but it sounds like maybe you can do a little???

This video of a guy putting one in an Olds seems to show that (skip to the end to actually see the wiper work): YouTube video

Or just simply moving the arm on the motor that the two wiper transmission arms attach to?
Do you have a pic? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 363 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 363 | arm on motor so they look like your second pic | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | Sorry jimbo
Maybe im not understanding
If you want to change positions of the arms simply disconnect them from the motor ane switch them
If its something else let us know. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 363 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 363 | | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | its hard to tell , but the arms appear backwards
Hard to explain
Try switching them
Youll know right away

Try calling newport
They are very helpful and give good tech advice
Make sure you let them know what model # you have They have two models for the A D trucks | | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 363 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 363 | | | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 363 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 363 | | | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 363 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 363 | | | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 363 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 363 | just scroll back and forth. there r a couple of good pics | | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 363 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 363 | Dad check this out. I built this truck from top to bottom. i put in windows[ (that were hard) headliner and alot of things. This wiper motor was the hardiest thing i put in. And i'm still not right. I loosened the set screw on the motor arm. Moved it a little, i thought i had it. Now my passanger wiper goes all the way back. Fine The drivers side does half the window. What is wrong. I thought this thing was a perfect switch. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | Hopefully someone will chime in with an idea
