Cool wiper gremlin & a quick tire question

#1 when my wipers are "on" and not in intermittent mode they work fine. When I turn them off or when they are in intermittent mode and are returning to the rest position, they shake and stutter as if they were binding up somehow( MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WET OR DRY AND NO DIFF BECAUSE OF THE TEMPERATURE) any ideas what'sup with that...it just started doing this a while ago

#2 to those of you running 245/75 16 tires....has any one kept track of the difference in the odometer reading vs. the actuall miles traveled and /or the speedo reading vs. your actuall speed , just wondering as the tires will be here soon

245/75 is aprox 5% bigger than stock(29" vs 31.5", aprox). So @ 60mph, really doing 63mph, and the faster you go, the more it's off. 100 miles logged on the odometer=105 traveled miles

Sorry, can't help with the wiper dilema.

Default Wipers

I have had a similar issue with mine when they are "intermittent". They would "stall" at varying points during the swipe.

I lubed all the connections and it went away...for the most part...

Sometimes...typically at the LEAST convenient time...it comes back.

However, after reading a lot of posts - I think that is just the nature of our beasts. They want attention. and if you fail to stroke them just so, or often enough...

BANG! your in the garage for something.
