On the second generation ram you can't pull the windshield wiper back to make it lock like you do on other generations, so you can clean the windows or scrape the snow off, has anyone got a way to modify this and does anybody know if you can use a later generation wiper arm on a second generation?

Could you pull the arm off of the splined part of the linkage mechanism
Then take it into a auto parts store, so they can compare your arm splines with something they have in stock.

it would also have to use blades the same lengths as yours

Mine is a 94 and you can pull them all the way up if you don't have them parked. That's actually how you remove them. Instead of bolting on they have a locking tab that retracts when you pull them all the way back.
