Just fill out this sheet http://www.amequipment.com/_ASSETS/PDFFiles/WiperQuestionnaire.pdf
and fax in then they will tell you exactly what you need.


These look most like my originals to me.

But they have many styles to choose from.

Hope this helps

 

Wow thanks for reminding me of something I did NOT like about my old 91 FTL cabover. Air wipers suck!!!! I'm not a big fan of air powered windows either!!! Good luck with the old White. As far as the KW, a scrap yard should give you everything you need for the conversion.

 

Check out dirk's wiper systems. I have used these systems in the past for both peterbilt and kenworth and they fit and work great. To my knowledge they have not released a kit for freightliner but after using their kits for pete and kw, i can't see how it would not be easily adapted to a freightliner. Hope this helps.

 

Does anyone know the part number he was talking about? Based on the info I gathered from this thread, a motor off a 1993 chevrolet caprice should work, but does this look like it would fit in the stock K100 bracket?

I know this is old but its worth a look Ridin' High, Inc. - Electric Wiper Kits

www.ridinhighinc.com/electric-wipers.html

 

I think I saw that kit down at 4 States in Joplin, MO. They were asking for something like $900 for the kit, which I thought was ridiculous.

As a side note, 4 states does have some of the best prices on filters I've seen (matched all the lowest dealer prices I've seen on a full set of filters), which is part of the reason that kit price shocked me so.

 

Im sure a lot of people got them im kinda nervous bout online ordering I might stop by 4 states my 362 wipers are retarded plus it has 3 I just want something 2 to go back and forth lol

 

Did anyone ever find out about using a chevy caprice rear wiper motor? It looks like the Kenworth w900 wiper motor shaft has a flared mount and a nut that holds the wiper arm on. When looking on ebay, a 1992 chevy caprice rear wiper motor does not have this flare on the mount or a way to put the nut on the end. The shaft does look to be long enough. Anyone have a part number or specifics on how to adapt?

 

As far as I've read. Try finding old white/volvo/freightliner wiper motors from the early late 80s to early 90s. Those ones were made electric, and very reliable.
