MoparMogSteve shared with me, that about 8 years ago, he bought a set of American Bosch WWA12C181 wiper motors that fit well and work well. I contacted the vendor that Steve bought the motors from and found that they no longer carry them.

I had a interesting conversation with the vendor. The Wiper motors they now sell, in the Vendors Words, will NOT work well in harsh conditions. They are more suited for the people who drive a few days a month and 'may' hit a little rain. Also they allow your vehicle to pass State Inspection, he noted LOL!!! The vendor eluded that high quality wiper motors would also fetch a high price which would eliminate 6 out of 10 buyers and they cant live on 4 buyers.

In the vendors opinion, " There is nothing out there that will fit a Power Wagon and be high quality to handle harsh conditions". My simple reply was that somewhere in this world is the High Quality Motor that will handle harsh conditions, its just yet to be found.

I followed up on a lead on 2 motors that Joe Cimoch gave me, but determined they will not work in our needed application. Further, I have tried searching for American Bosch WWA12C181 Motors. I can find people using them, but no source whatsoever. If anyone has a lead on a source, please email me.

The search goes on !
