Wiper Upgrades?

Wiper Upgrades?
I have a '90 Pickup DLX and it only has two wiper settings, well three, OFF, low, and high. That's not enough!
Has anyone ever tried upgrading to a newer switch with more settings? Or done something custom?

that's a good idea. I've never thought of that but it would be nice to have some more settings on my truck's wiper function. Mine on the other hand has three settings that each can be tuned from slower to faster with the second switch. So basically i have slow with three extra settings, medium with three extra settings, and fast with three extra settings. So it's basically a dual switch with variables for each speed. Scribed to see what others think. But to be honest i'm pretty satisfied with the function the way it is guess that's why i never thought to change it. Maybe yours is different.

how about putting a new motor in the runs faster? a long with a new switch
Use RAIN-X if yours don't work good enough..it's what i use in my '86 and my '96 dodge..and i hardly ever use my wipers.
i even put it on the side windows and the back window of my '86 lol

I hear the delay wipers setup out of an SR5 is a direct swap. Supposedly all that has to be swapped is the wiper switch in the steering column
SO I'VE HEARD
I've never personally tried it, but always wanted to

It can be done, i converted a base model 84 4Runner over to intermitent wipers and it was easy to do. You will need to swap out the wiper switch and add the relay box that`s required for the intermitent wipers to work.

To add intermittent wipers you need the relay box (make sure to get the small wiring harness that goes to the relay box) and the wiper switch, you swap out the standard wiper switch for the delay switch, and then you go under the dash up next to the heater blower housing and there should be a plug with a jumper loop plugged in to it, unplug the jumper and plug the relay box into that plug and that`s it your done. you now have intermittent wipers.

Thanks for all the other replies too.. some good info going now. Dunno why some DLX's didn't come with it, but it's definitely needed in Alaska... Two speeds is not enough!!
