    Does anybody have a part number for fld120 windshield wipers? My truck is in 1995 I don't know if there's any difference through the years. And what size are they?

    Freightliner sent me a set but they're a little bit shorter than what's on there, and I think there is supposed to be like a block piece that fits in where you put the pivot bolt. They just gave me the blade itself.

    Yeah there’s a little metal 3 sided 1” clip that goes around the wiper, with a hole for the bolt. I think the short ones are original, the longer ones are better, I’ll get the # later from the Truck. The clip should be with the wiper, in package, along with the little bolt and nut

    If you drive in snowy icy areas the shorter one is better in winter.. I liked the flat blade style better myself it was easier to knock ice off going down the road.. they have 2 or 3 styles iirc

    I drilled out the hole on the wiper arm, and now i can use any 18" blade i want from wally world. When you get the blade, take a pair of side cutters and snip the little cross bars in the middle. You'll see what im talking about. Presto. Any blade you want. When u drill out the arm, use a phillips bolt with a lock nut

    I'm really trying to finish up in a hurry so I had Freightliner send me another set and that's what willI go on for now.

    Later on I can upgrade to the other type that @Rideandrepair recommended or whatever type that I would find to be good.
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.
