Upgrade for the Heater Blower Motor?

Postby nelsonj » Sat Mar 18, 2017 1:29 am

Has anyone tried a more efficient blower motor for the heater? There seem to be several outstanding options (modern fans with low profiles and high air movement) for the radiator but I haven't seen anything for the heater.

I was thinking it might be worth swapping out the noisy and low-flow stock unit with a more modern fan. Has anyone tried this? If yes, what fan did you use (what size) and any pictures or tips for the job?

Thanks in advance.

Peace.
Out.

Great idea. I had just buttoned up my center console when my heater fan started making noises so I'll be going back in. Maybe a way to get some of that transmission heat when you want it would be an idea also.
