My truck is in Wyoming, at a friend's shop where I can do the welding necessary to fill the stock wiper shaft holes in the windshield header and finally install electric wipers after three years of Rain-X and rainwater in the face.

I've researched old threads, and would like to know impressions from anyone who might be using one of these options (my chances don't seem real good because I don't see any of the people who posted in those threads around here anymore).

If there are other options with similar durability (I won't be using the eBay Asian wiper motors I read about, for example), affordability, and availability, I'd love to hear about those also.

Thank you.
