So somehow your nozzle caught an additional chromosome?

My advice is to stock your pantry and buy lots a ammo. You can give canned goods for Christmas presents. I haven't bought truck parts since Sept... me and the truck are hunkered down as I watch my security monitors... we're all doomed

New wiper arms are expensive even the Dorman replacements. I'd hit the glass with 000# steel wool before using new blades. Helps the rubbers seat correctly after removing contaminates also gets rid of stubborn water spots. I've never used the washers on the truck, still have the original washer fluid in a Arizona Tea jug when I drained for the Denali conversion (2011).

Must be one of those Silverado LTZGB non binary trucks that's had it's VIN altered

The Dorman arms are $22 at O’Reilly last I looked
I will try the steel wool as well. Why not delete the wiper arms then?

Also I have noticed you have been a bit less active recently

Kinda want to return my c-notch and get my money back since I never installed it....
Any opinions? Should I just install it later? I have the Belltech bumpstops on since my McGaughys were sitting on the axle. That may answer the question though

Gonna have to go and measure it tonight. I'm guessing 2-3 inches.

If you have enough up travel left in the shocks then I would install it because more travel will mean even less chance of bottoming out.

Yes make sure you have an abundance of travel. Hitting the bumpstop at speed will separate the tire from the pavement.. then it's white knuckle driving at best.

The hardest part installing the c-notch is all the drilling, first the pilot then the IIRC 1/2" holes???

I cut both sides of the frame with one sawzall blade... bought a pack of blades thinking It would be a tough cut... cut like butter. Drill two top holes in your pattern, this will keep the frame from cracking when the cut transitions from vertical to horizontal.

A sawzall didn't think about that. Was going to do a cutting wheel.

You mean two holes where my red marks are correct?
