They interchange, but you have to replace the entire motor. The plug is even the same.


A few threads down on the 88-98 board page is this:

This is DIRT speaking. Many of the 1988+ trucks had defective windshield wiper circuit boards that were recalled and fixed free by GM. I wouldn't be shocked if someone swapped an older motor assembly to replace a failed one.

I was looking at the costs to replace those circuit boards and it seems that the older ones like that fit the wiper motor in mine, are quite expensive in comparison to the newer style wiper motor.

I was told by a friend (owns a toyota) that if there is a recall and its not a class action law suit, that they still honer those recalls.
So, I might just go to a bone yard and get my the later model wiper motor from a California truck (less rain down south so the concept would be, less use on the wiper motor) and then go to a dealership and see if they will give me a new controller board for it.
A Not OEM board for the newer stile is less than 25 bucks so maybe the stealerships will use a Delco replacement board. No harm in trying :-)

I am the second owner on my truck and it came from a company called Overhead Door out of Portland. The truck had 65K on it and it was used by one of the owners to transfer small parts between Portland Oregon and Bend Oregon so most was highway miles.
When it came into my friends Chevrolet Dealership (Suburban Auto Group, home of the famed Trunk Monkey commercials) it was just in and Full of service records. The truck looked new other than scratches in the pickup bed. First thing I did was drop her.

Sorry for the blathering on but I think my next step is to get a used one from a bone yard.

Oh, speaking of bone yards, this is the wrong place to post this but I grew up in my Dads wrecking yard and I have all the old Hollendar Interchange books from the 50's and 60's and offering to look up things for folks.
More blathering :-)

Any idea on the interchange, what all years fit the 1988 GMC ?
