I think you are talking about a windshield wiper knurl. To my knowledge, knurls are not designed to be replaced on your truck.
Replacement or re-conditioning of a wiper knurl is likely a DIY project and a test of your ingenuity.
Also take a look at a wiper arm attachment. This is the full wiper set without the motor.
We could give you some suggestions if you want to upload a pic.

The wiper arm is softer metal than the "spline". So it normally strips out first. I've used steel wool wrapped around the "spline".

Is your spline and wiper arm cut for a machine key? My 07 has that and I got a replacement key at a hardware store. Can't even begin t guess how it got out of there in the first
place....
