    just took this video in walcott, ia at the t/a shop. it really looks nice. i would love to have this system on my truck. the shop foreman said it's only made for pete's right now, but they are working on making it for all makes/models.

    You could make this yourself for any truck for about $30 if you wanted one. The problem I see is that they are using air solenoids and they will be frozen aswell. Better to use an all electric unit.

    The old air powered wipers could be slammed to knock off ice and I miss that. A lot better than reaching out the window when driving:biggrin_25525:

    It's a good idea. But I think someone will eventually come up with a better design overall.
