Default Wiper speeds

Sup guys. Got a quick question. I've got 3 selections on my wiper switch. Off, slow, and fast. Just wondering if anyone has found an aftermarket solution to add more speeds? Maybe swapping in a later model motor, switch, and module? It may be too much work for it to be worth it, but leaning forward every 10 seconds to switch on the wipers in drizzle gets annoying fast. Thanks.

88 F150 Custom. I6. Auto.

Maybe to many trucks?

You don't have to get a different model one. My 88 F150 has the same thing and I already looked up what I need to do. I need a wiper motor and wiper switch that is intermediate. That's it as far as I understand. My dad's 89 F250 has intermediate wipers so I looked up on autozone and they sell them both. Swap that in and call it good.






It is just because our truck are so low packaged (mine is a custom I am betting yours is an XL)

Turn the switch the opposite direction, that is intermittent. My truck was as base model as you could get and it had them.

I've tried. My friend had a bronco that had that function and he told me to try it. No such luck. I'll try it again. If I've had that all this time I owned the truck I'm gonna feel stupid.
