Ok so heres a problem that i just remembered!!!

My rear wiper sprayer is not functioning properly. I tested the Pump and it works fine, so there must be a break or kink in the hose, but i can't seem to trace the hose from the resevoir to the wiper....

Does anybody have any ideas where the hose runs? (ie under car or through the roof)

Heres what I did.

1- Put the truck on jackstands
2- Removed all the wheels
3- Hosed the wheels off
4- Let them dry
5- Sprayed and wiped off bug and tar remover
6- 1 coat of primer (pictured above)
7- 2 coats of gloss black spraypaint

Also I am gonna put another coat when springtime comes around, along with a clearcoat for protection.

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions feel free to ask
