    No , it's 12volt , converted by PO . I don't think that the wiper set up comes 24v .
    Thanks compexp for posting the pictures , one day I'll figure out how to do it , read the instuctions on how to but got frustrated .

    I liked where you mounted it for the fixed windshield. I still think if you mounted in the middle and ran one cable one way and the other the otherway you would be all set. Or mount it where you did and have enough for folding down.

    The complete universal kit with 144" cable and intermttent switch was $324 . I purchased their wiper arms because of the left hand bend to fit straight against upper gasket . Their arms were $18 each but they only came in polished stainless . The wiper kit comes with a lifetime warranty , if ever it's outdated , they will replace it with the newer style .These were real nice people to deal with , I called the tech line before ordering with a page full of questions and he went through all of them in depth .

    Wow, that's way cheaper than the alternative I was chasing with the dual motors.

    Have you run it in snow/mud yet? Got enough chutzpah to do the job in the wet, heavy, nasty stuff?

    Nice install...

    I wonder, I mean if there was some slack in it, wouldn't the cable bend around the corner when the windsheild was down, like a speedo cable can make bends? I've never seen a cable wiper system in person so have no idea.

    Have not run it in the snow yet , they said that it would handle snow just fine , just clear the windsheild first like any other car . The unit has I think 300 inch pounds of torque . Cable is nothing like a speedo . It's probably 3/8" diameter and stiff and runs through aluminum tubing . It will not fold over and come back . Once it's bent it stays there . Probably won't see mud with the truck , it's a daily driver and I'm a city boy . From the prevoius post , motor can't be run in the middle . It has only one cable hook up point so it would need to be on one side or the other .
