Oem “beam” style wiper blades

Anyone have the part number for the beam style (not the old school skeleton frame ones). Mine just decided to leave the chat when using the squirters [emoji23]

Since your in an area with snow, find a set of Bosch SnowDriver(Part # 22SD) wiper blades. I run them in the winter, they are a winter version of the ICONs. You need the 22" version. If there is an AutoZone near you try them first as they may stock them, that where I bought them.

55277446AC, but if you go aftermarket, the PIAA si-tech is a big improvement on wiping performance. The only issue I have with them is the manner they connect to the wiper arm; there is no positive click for some reason, or mine didn't do it.

I’ve been happy with the stockers, I had aftermarket beams on my old truck and my car. And I get maybe a year out of them, and half the time they suck. The ones on my truck are original to the truck, so 4 1/2 years I can’t complain

That’s def the part number, when searching a 2016 3500 they don’t come up, only on a 16 2500 and 17+ all models (stupid) got a set ordered, all the local dealerships are closed, and luckily no rain (or snow) coming, worst case I have the old conventional style from my 15 in the garage I can toss on the passenger side for the couples days while waiting for them to show up

Personally run 24" blades on mine clear a little more of the windshield. Any good beam style will work as long as it has the same type of mounting.

Yes they may all work, but for basically $10 more at the end of the day, I get 3-4x the life from an oem wiper then any aftermarket beam or conventional (most and aftermarket last me is a year, oem 3-4 years)

I buy whatever is on sale at rockauto. I get brand name wipers for less than $5 and I buy 2-3 sets shipped for less than what a single new wiper would cost... I find having a clean windshield to start with helps promote the life of the blade as well as water shedding ability.
