I've been knocked down drug out and left for dead
Yesterday, I hauled 820lbs of scrap aluminum to the recycling center. I only got $492 for the scrap. 
What did you do to your truck today?

That's a nice chunk of change for scrap. I drove it yesterday, Tracer through a CEL on the way home from work so I will have to look into that. Not going to throw parts at it but the cause of the light will determine whether I continue to drive it or send it to the scrap yard.
Recorded a log of it's internal workings... Methinks it's not happy

Cleaned the snow off of it.
Drove it 20 miles to a post office in a town with less than 150 people to get my passport.

Fixed the wipers by returning the new parts and installing the old parts again.
Yeah, I know how that sounds, but that's how it worked out.
The wipers originally gave me problems over the summer, stopping in odd places, etc., which is very typical of a bad control module, very common on these trucks. So I bought a replacement module for it but when I pulled the old one out I saw that the issue was a contact on the module that was bent, and not making good contact. Since I had a new one I went ahead and installed it, and fixed the old one and saved it as a spare.
So when the wipers failed the other day I suspected the new module had died so today I pulled it and took it back to Autozone for a refund, then picked up a replacement reman motor with a module already installed, figuring I'd just swap the whole thing since the original was 11 years old.
When I got home though it was too dark and cold to start pulling the cowl off to unhook the linkage, so instead I just popped the original (fixed) module back in and closed up the motor. The wipers now work 100% again.
Now I just have to decide if I'm returning the new motor, or replacing the old one anyway since it's 11 years old and bound to fail eventually, probably sooner than later.
