New driver's door mostly Gary. I have to give LMC credit for the packing. Also a new set of mirrors, new door handles, door wiring conduits, and new marker light lenses for the fenders....oh, and a new washer fluid pump and spray nozzle.

Somehow I forgot to post pictures.

The wobbly old output shaft

I even managed to break the eyelet on the wiper motor ground wire...

Ever had one of those days (or weeks!) where everything you touch turns to

?
I call it the meirda touch.

Yeah, TWO table saws broke (or were broken), shop vac, an angle grinder, Sawzall, gas grill, door latch, lighting circuit, even a mattock! 😖

Jim - I DID happen! Yippee!

But, you broke all that in a week. Or, rather, all that broke in a week. That's a bad week.

Meirda touch? How did you arrive at that? Or, do I not want to know?

Not even a week!

Midas touch is when everything you touch turns to gold.
Mierda is Spanish for that new emoji Matthew asked for.

Therefore....

Too bad Florida man didn't have that kind of luck when he was cutting into Big Blue.

Aside from cops and the occasional overdose of bath salts or meth, nothing can stop Florida Man!

I'm guessing some of the above was involved.

I failed to mention that when I replaced my wiper motor, I went with 21" blades.

I not only like the added 1.1/2" vertically, but the increased overlap in the center is noticeable. 😀

Good tip, Jim. May do that myself as Big Blue goes back together.

What about the additional load [drag] placed on the wiper components?

WAS going to work on my truck today but mother nature has other plans. Check out that humidity.

I guess I'll see what I can do in the shop.

I stepped outside for a few minutes and I was already pouring sweat. It's been raining nonstop so now I'm just inside relaxing.

That is my question, David.

With the new motor it seems to work fine.
