I need new wipers for the KW W9. They are 15" Anco on there now, but I cant find any online parts lookup to find them.
I am not sure these are proper length (no idea) and with the single screw, I cant run out to Wal Mart and buy them, it seems. Also, the little squirter adapters are broken. I am presuming DEALER only for those?
Second, tires... dumb question ahead:
My door panel writing has all worn off. It lists tire pressures but I cant read it at all. I am guessing 100 or 125psi for the fronts and rear duals?

for the tires go with the inflation that is on the side of the tire.
The squirters for the wipers will be a dealer item, but you might find the wipers at a NAPA or other parts type place that has some heavy duty stuff.Hanadarko Thanks this. -
The squirters are dealer only they can also tell you what wipers you need. The only thing about them you need to know is the lenght and if you need high bow or the low. High bow if you have the curved glass or low for the flat windshield. They will work either way but the small arch wont hold the glass at edge of the curved windshield.
As far as tire pressure goes it all depends on what ply tires you are running and how much weight you plan to haul. You can get the best tire wear if you match the pressure properly. You can get that info from most of the large tire mfg web sites. I know I've seen it on Continental tires web site. If your not sure 105 is probably a good safe bet.Hanadarko Thanks this. -
I go to air up the tires...they are at 90psi. Come to find out, my Makita Hot-Dog air compressor runs around 100-125psi, so once I start filling the tires the pressure equals the compressor and tires and no more air flows.
So, now I need to find a compressor (affordable) that can do this job.
Geez... -
truck compressor won't ????
-
You can get from the TS an air line that will connect to your air line and have the adapter on the other end to fill your tires up... your Air Compressor on the truck dumps at 125psi.. -
Dam...I never even thought of that?!

I can get a hose and hook it up to a glad hand....
(or buy the pre-made kit) -
Your air compressor will dump what you set it at, minimum should be 120....
Hanadarko Thanks this. -

There should be something you can use at autozone, if not then it would be off to the KW dealer.
I keep my tire # 100 psi, steers, drives, & trailers. I run 297 72 22.5 Generals. Steers get pulled at 90k and go on the trailer steer axle ( axle 4), drives 75K get pulled to axles 3 and 5. I run them to 2/32 and they come off the trailers.Hanadarko Thanks this. -
*Rain-X Wiper blades are not available for this model at this length. Requires OEM replacement part. Contact your vehicle manufacturer*
Oops..Well I am off to KW anyways....need the spray nozzles.
