Rock Auto?   I hear good about them.   

 

Example for 2007 silvarado 1500 5.3 motor....  If lucky, 42 bucks plus core charge.

Not sure what you mean by "tired" but if it is moving slowly, have you disconnected it and made sure the regulator arms and pivots are moving freely?

by tired I mean it works when it wants to.

Smurfy if it works when it wants to and maybe it may turn on by itself it is probably the wiper control board. It is a small bd mounted to the firewall mounted in a black plastic casing. They are around $25.

thanks but no it doesnt turn on by itself. when i turn it on sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. when it doesnt i have to literally get out and pull the wipers to get it to move. then most the time it will work..............till the next time!!!!!

I had an 98 S10 blazer and my dad had a 00 Silverado that did the same thing. On both I just pulled the cover off the wiper motor and disconnected the control board plug and resoldered the connection to the board. Both had bad solder joints. It was about a 15 minutes fix for each one. Not sure if that problem still exists for the newer pickups but it's worth a check to save some money.
