Sold a couple of things this weekend so the shopping continues. Ordered my Harland Sharp RR and Harmonic Balancer for the 360!! Getting ready to head out and get my Skyjacker 2" lift ordered.

*Side note I have decided not to pay any express shipping charges hoping that will save some money and it has so far but it sucks waiting 3-5 business days for stuff to arrive.

Question Replacement Wiper Blades?

Has anyone put those newer-style flat/frameless wipers on an older late-90's Dodge RAM? If so, did they fit? How do they perform? How do they look?

I put trico neoform beam blades on my 2007 Mazda 3 and they are AWESOME but that is a newer vehicle and the windshield is pretty curved.

Has anyone upgraded their windshield wipers on an older RAM?

Anyone? Bueller??

Jeff

yep, i just marked the center of the hole under the headliner, and drilled from the bottom with an 1/8" drill bit, then ran the wire through, and centered them by eye from the front, and marked the screw holes, then drilled it out with an 1/8" drill bit. then ran the screws down to make it fit easier, then took them off, and put silicone sealant in the holes, and around the underside of the light, then screwed it down, then put more silicone around the outside edge of the lights, and now theyre nice and sealed, and really make the truck look like a truck.

I havent, but im sure they would form to the windsheild just fine, if you went to your local advance ask them if you can do a test fit.

I Have the Rain-x version on my ram and they do pretty well overall. I get a few streaks here and there but by the second wipe the streaks are gone. Had them on almost 6 months and I can't complain.

Nothing cause I'm working 9am-12am. I need to get it done before the end of the year.

Yesterday I picked up an autometer temp sensor manifold. I had a gift certificate so what would have cost me 49.50 actually got me like .15 cents back.

All I have left is finish hooking up the trans coolers, install the new sensor manifold, install the spark box and coil, drill the hole in the air cleaner and put the iac in it and throw that on, put some coolent and trans fluid in it, hook up a couple hoses and it's good to go

i have beam blades on my truck for whoever asked, rain-ex i think, they work awesome
i needed new ones (hadn't replaced them in 3 years) especially with the amount of interstate travel my rig sees now


oh and when you put the cab lights on, did you wire them to the parking lights or the toggle switch the kit came with, i used the parking light circut (which is probably overloaded now, i also have a 3 light bar on the tailgate)
