How to Replace the Windshield Wipers on a 99 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Super Duty is a nameplate used by Ford on its F-Series heavy-duty three-quarter ton trucks from model year 1999 and up. Ford trucks up to and including the F-550 also use the Super Duty nameplate. Super Duty trucks share almost no parts with the lighter-duty F-150. Heavier running gear and engines that are more powerful are some of the most notable differences, as well as the different sheet metal that provides the Super Duty a more heavy-duty appearance. Having a clean windshield in dirty working conditions is important, so know how to change the wiper blades or wiper arms on your F-250 Super Duty truck.
