washer pump - '93 silverado

With the replacement pump and the hose for the fluid, I only get spray on about



2/5 of the windshield as best. higher of course when I am driving because of the wind.

Without actually changing the hose to a smaller diameter would splicing a smaller cylinder into the interior of the hose itself up the pressure for the spray? Or would it just be easier and more beneficial to just go out and buy a smaller diameter hose and replace that?


You think you have low pressure so you want a *smaller* hose? That doesn't make since. I would start by cleaning the nozzle(s) and check/clean the filter on the end of the hose in the tank.

Only a smaller nozzel at the end "may" increase pressure, however WW pumps are not designed to give much pressure so the smaller nozzel wil likely just reduce flow. If the pump is a factory part then you should be looking at the suction side.

You know, this is *not* a difficult problem. To be carrying on over a windshield washer for this long is trollish in the extreme. If he can't solve this simple problem he should take it to the dealer.

Another brilliant response from the news group clown

You're not a difficult problem either.
