Wiper motor

Does anyone make a quality wiper motor other than Newport engineering for our trucks? I need to replace one in the blazer and all I’ve been able to find is foreign crap.

My local NAPA doesn’t have anything.

Does anyone have any first-hand experience using anything that’s for sale out there.

Thanks
Mark

A few years ago I had three different auto parts store remans from different sources that all sucked.

I ended up tearing apart my original wiper motor and cleaning everything up inside then putting new grease where it needed to be and reassembling it. It worked better than any of the auto parts store reman ones.

That is what I am trying to avoid. Used to be a good auto electric rebuild shop, but they went away 10 years ago.

I might rebuild mine, but it is filthy, could use brushes? I would hate to install it and have it not last. Kind of a pain to get to as you must know after 3!

Re: Wiper motor

That is why I have saved 3 so far. I am sure that I can get one to work.
