    Your opinion on seldom driven GMC V20

    I had the truck looked at a year ago for lack of power. The mechanic had told me the engine was worn out. But, for all I used it for, it could last several more years. Between adding oil and poor performance I just decided to make a change. I looked at upgrading to a newer model used truck, but...

    Your opinion on seldom driven GMC V20

    Greetings, I have a 1987 GMC V20 that I use to plow our 800ft drive and occasionally pick up lumber or gravel. I might put a 1,000 miles on it annually.

    Can wiper linkage be rebuilt?

    Ok, no problem. I have the linkage out anyway to soak the spindles. I will take take a pic today and post it. I may have confused everyone with my initial post.

    Can wiper linkage be rebuilt?

    Can wiper linkage be rebuilt?

    Can wiper linkage be rebuilt?

    Can wiper linkage be rebuilt?
