Any reason you can't just take your old one to a local parts store and march it up with a new one?
Yep, I just got back from doing that. We talked over the window washer pump thing. Seems it has nothing to do with the wiper motor. I'm just wondering why they would put this statement/stipulation in "Front; Motor without Washer Pump" for any reason? I went to Oreilly, found the one I needed. Cost a couple dollars more than Rock auto, but I'll have it here by 10:30 today! So out to take the old one out. 
Thanks

Ok, new wiper motor's in now. Tested it and still won't park, and doesn't have two speeds either (but neither did the old one). I checked all the wiring, connections, and continuity. Thinking it's the switch. What do you motor heads out there think? 
Run a ground wire from the battery right to the case of the motor; see if it will park then.

Does it have the woven ground strap ? If the ground wire makes it work you need a ground wire. If that doesnt work Id try changing the switch.
I am truckless..

No, it's a solid thin brass strap.
Tried the ground wire idea to the (-) battery post, no dice/same thing. It's looking more and more like the switch I guess.
A few other questions: This wiper motor looks like a two speed wiper motor to me (as does the old one). Mostly cause of it's configuration/case (I've seen in cars). The wiper motor I have in my duster looks completely different (it's a three speed). Am I correct in assuming this is true in trucks too? Did the trucks come with three speed wipers (as an option?)? So (of course) the switch should be for a two speed too? I just don't want to mix/match components.
Thanks again.
Oh! I'm having a hard time finding these wiper motor switches! Anybody

this place has one dunno if it's new or used for 20 bucks, I bought a cargo light assembly from them and it was used, but in great shape & for 25 bucks couldn't argue with that price

Yup, that's where I ended up getting one. All in all, $28.00 bucks (used, and guaranteed to work OK). No parts places have them, and very few others too!
