Windshield Washers
Ok. This is really trivial.
Does anyone else have problems with the windshield washers? When I'm doing 60mph on the freeway all of the fluid gets blown down to the base of the windshield making it real tough to clean. Everything is fine if I'm at a complete stop.
So when I re-aim the jets to work on the freeway the fluid shoots over the cab and lands on my tonneau cover when I'm at a stop.
In other words the motor that pumps the water is too weak or something. Anyone else have a problem? I don't want to bother the dealer if it's just the way the vehicle is.

I haven't paid real close attention to my current one (of course I haven't driven it in inclement weather much either) but I do recall on my 97 I had the same problem... there was no happy medium... it's just the aerodynamics of the truck, I guess. A bug deflector might influence it, but it'll still do wierd things. Just one of the characteristics of a water jet in a 60+ MPH air-stream.
