from the dealer

It is a recall part for a dodge dakota, the motor is the same if you change out the plastic gear. So essentialy you get a brand new wiper motor for very little$$. I did this to mine because my wipers would almost stop in the snow and I needed a motor and didn't want to shell out big$$ for an o.e. one
Good luck!
Captain Woot, can you elaborate on the "Plastic Gear?" Are you suggesting that the plastic gears inside the motor need to be swopped, or can the whole assembly be installed without modification to replace the old wiper motor and mechanism?
Much obliged,
