    not bad at all, just 1/2 dozen or so little plastic push type screws to remove the cowl, then fairly simple.

    my '93 Silverado one time required circuit board replacement and that is what I tried prior to having to swap out the entire assembly. I should have gone with a higher quality replacement originally. I just ordered the same dang cheap one since the first one is still under warranty. About $37.00 delivered in 2 days. It seems the gears may have stripped out inside. The wipers will go if I give them a little push start

    I wonder if hard water calcium build up? Prop it up with some lime away down in it, maybe free it up?

    If I had known that would have gotten in the way I would have suggested vice grips

    Lol and I thought I was being subtle. But no really, that's awesome. I kind of just want one for the looks, I'm not sure what I'd even put up there.

    I’ve realized that I’m outgrowing my factory rack I put on, I find I’m often putting 150+ lbs on it and cringing on the way home. I never knew how much I’d use it!
    I’m planning on making a matching topper rack to match once I figure out the cab rack height.
