    ‘99 K2500 variable speed on wipers not working.

    As the title says the variable speed settings for the wipers is only producing low and high with no differentiation in speed between the two. Also, sometimes the wiper just fails to shut off for a long time. What part should I be looking to replace?

    ‘99 K2500 Suburban Steering Clean Up

    After a weekend of off-roading and camping, I took the Suburban in for a revisit on alignment because it was steering to the left.
