Hi all
I have been a member on here for a few years but dont post very often but now I have to ask for some advice please
I have an upgraded wiper motor (12v) which is good but the wipers are junk
Been told that the 54s are a much better option but over here in the UK there is a 'specialist' who says that going to the 54 kit is not advisable so a bit unsure of which way to go

Do I stay with original year kit or ignore that and go for later year?

Somone please just tell me straight and I can go order my stuff

Thank you
Paul

Paul, I answered this question in your same topic post in the General Truck Talk forum.

FYI, posting the same topic in different forums can lead to confusion or lack of good responses. FWIW - your post above asks a little different question than your other post. Perhaps you can post in the other forum to clarify what you mean by a "54 kit". Providing source and part number info on what your "specialist" is not recommending would help answer your question better please and thanks.

Hi Dan
Thank you for this and yes I did see your post in General which is really helpful to me
I am not that familiar with this forum so please forgive my double post

There is very little help available or info with these vehicles over here in the UK and what there is not always correct
Hence my joining this forum and another FB group
