Question:

01 F350 4x4 Diesel/ relationship of windshield wipers and brakes?

I was pulling up to the redlight.and its was raining. I noticed when I had my foot pressed on the brake peddal I could feel a thump through the pedal, and then I noticed the thump in the peddal happened every time the windshield wipers got to the bottom of its stroke. Turned the wipers off and the thump stopped. What could connect these two to cause this?2001 F350/ 7.3L/ Crew Cab/ swb/ short bed/ 4x4/ automatic/ billet tc w/shift kit/ TS chip (stock, 50, 75, 100, high idle, anti-theft)/ transmission has been beefed up, AFE stage 1, BIG BOOST, New Garret Turbo, Glow Shift gauges (Trans, Pyro, Boost) Toyo Open Country 315-75-16, zoodad mod,4 MBRP straight turbo backPlease no dumb answers like I dont know, go see a mechanic, or anything else other than helping me with this problem.

Answer:

Sounds more like a Wiper Motor Mount Loose and it is hitting so hard you feel it through the Firewall Vibrations to the Brake Peddle. Check the Wiper Mounts, Linkage Pivot.
the wiper linkages could be hitting the heater air duct piping under the dash, or worn wiper pivots
