I have one, my buddy has 10, has anyone had to replace one yet?

 

I just replaced my original - no spares.

The original had an intermittent high pitch squeal. Pretty loud.

I went with a NAPA reman "premium with new gears and just the right amount of grease" as I heard the Cardone was not so hot.

The first reman had a pretty loud low pitch growl. The second was not much better. The third was a little better and I ran it. It makes noticeably more noise vs OE but seems to work OK. I sure hope it keeps working.

Changing it is not my favorite job. Upside down, tight, a tricky clip to R&I by feel for the linkage and R&I the switch connector block. I cut the wires on the original so I could pull them out. Wires for the replacement are re-routed... I did not see any way to follow factory wire routing without at least pulling the cluster which I did not want to do. Too easy to damage something.

 

OEM still on mine.

 

0 spare, looks like same motor used on billions of Fords.

 

C7TZ-17508-D .. Wiper Motor / Obsolete

1967/72 F100/750 / 1973/79 F100/880 (except F600/880 with air wipers) / 1978/79 Bronco.

 

Zero spares. Have linkages though. I think summer time it'll get A rebuild though. I'm tired of the linkage noise.

 

I have 4 parts trucks so I have 4 spares....I have never had to replace one. X2 on looks like a PITA job.

 

I figured more people would have "too many" spares. I was saving everything that worked off these trucks before knowing what breaks and what doesn't. Like the door panel door cup attachment bracket behind the door panel, got 20 of those.....
