Aren't trucks 24V too? That should mean plenty of available off the shelf wiper motors... Unless they're too big?

- LyndsySimon 10y agoConsumer trucks are 12v, up to and include 1-ton models. Beyond that I'm not sure off the top of my head, but I do know that a 12v conversion is a very common modification to ex-military vehicles like the CUCV.
- douche 10y ago24v heavy equipment is kind of a a PITA, in reality. For instance, my father always ran Timberjack and Clark logging equipment, in part because they were 12V. One common problem is that you've got a dead battery in your piece of equipment. With a 12V system, you can just jumpstart your skidder/dozer/whatever using your pickup and a set of cables. If the equipment is 24V, you have to use two pickups in series, which is a lot more difficult.
