Sam Caylor in Ks should have a set of used wipers for the D some had electric wipers, www.rometruckparts.com has all the parts to rebuild your air wipers,they may have bolt on electric motors to convert yours over

I will give them a call.

Thanks

Buses are in question as are Classic Cars in the state of California.  If anyone has any Camaro SS's, Oldsmobile 442's, or any Mark I Mustangs in mint condition, I will take them all of your hands for $1,000 each so you don't have to deal with this problem.

Blow by on the 60 EGR series is pretty common when they have miles on the engine ,most people don't worry about it ,the number 5 piston on EGR engines is usually the problem from all the heat from the EGR system.Have it tested if it is under 3 don't worry about it you're  not alone with the blow by on a series 60 ,it will live a long time with the blow by

I've noticed a bit of blowby coming out of the vent under the engine ('02 Series 60). It doesn't do it when it's cold, and I am due for an oil change. Once it was warmed up, I had my grandson rev the engine while I watched, and the blowby didn't seem to change in villosity (I don't know if that means anything).

At any rate, I read that it can be caused by 1. A bad turbo; 2. The air compressor; or, 3. Piston rings/sleaves.

The engine doesn't smoke to speak of, it runs great, and I don't have any codes triggered.

Any ideas on how the trouble shoot this?

I made my own conversion assembly with parts from Autotex; probably cost about $400 in total, with only minor aluminum fabrication needed (cutting some stock and drilling a few holes).  Got the wrong size wiper motor initially, but they swapped it out for a longer shafted one without issue.  That's on a 4104 though, so I wouldn't be shocked if a newer MCI is significantly more involved.

Hello all,

I continue to have air wiper problems.

Quick question.  What air to electric conversion kits are there available?

Thanks
Seb
