After 45 minutes of trying to get the blower out - I finally found this video. All the other video's show the motor removed without having to release the dash - so glad you published this - had the gas and matches in hand... ;)
Production quality timing and spacing is excellent. Advice also above average, you don't waste time on mundane things. Great job, I wouldn't even attempt this without your video.Haynes and Chilton repair manuals are less than adequate.
Thank you for posting this! The best video I could find before had mentioned the dash needed to be lifted but didn't show how to do that. This is just what I needed to take on the task myself. Thank you!!!
Useful video. I have a 1994 GMC Sierra whose blower motor squeals and squeaks intermittently. I see that removal is a bit more involved than I thought, so I think I'll live with it for now as you suggest. Your video is clearly and well done. By the way, the new carpet installation was well done. Thanks.
Helped a ton. Mine had a foam/rubber cover for it, couldn't figure out how to get it off so I unplugged the wires and yanked it out 😅 But the job went smooth other than that, thanks for the video.
I saw this after doing mine a few months ago. I did it just hoping to improve flow by cleaning out leaves or whatever debris was in the evaporator since it's a 94' ( the original fan worked OK ). There was lots of dog hair and dust in there which I rinsed out. Just got the cheapest motor from autozone and works fine, not a ton of improvement though. Getting the rubber cover off was the hardest for me.
My truck is an 88 Chevrolet 3500. The blower motor only has one electrical connection, an orange wire. It must be getting its ground another way. I think my blower might sit higher; I had to remove the glove box to access the upper blower screws. Liked your video.
Had the same issue with the pulsing noise after installing a new blower motor in my 99 Suburban. Issue was solved after spending a few extra bucks for a genuine part. You get what you pay for
Great video. I don't have a blower issue but I think I have an issue with the big plastic box next to the blower. Getting some funny noise from that area. If I use your vid as a starting point, can I get to the heater/ac box?
I came to this video trying to figure out how to get that rubber cover off of the blower motor. To me it looks like it's not possible to take that rubber cover off the glove box and unbolting a bunch of stuff behind the glove box
Is it the same for the 1995 to 98? My son has a 95. It only blows on the highest speed, so I think it's the resistor, but I was going to replace the motor at the same time as it's a little noisy after 315,000 km 😉
Does it blow hard? I installed mine but I'm not sure if my evaporator is clogged or since the connections are switch it blows counter clockwise but mine doesn't blow hard
@@SuburbanRanch Follow up question, is the new one quieter? Mine is loud but I can't tell if it's louder than normal or did your video convince me it's too loud? Haha

Very useful!! Just did the blower motor on my ‘89. Super easy with the video! Thank you.
No excess chatter. Straight to the point. Very clear photography of the steps, and a good vocal walkthrough. Thank you. I'll be swapping mine soon.
Thanks for the installation video my blower just went out a few days ago in my 93 Chevy.

Subscribed. Probably the best howto on this job I've seen. Thanks so much for sharing this one!
my 1991 GMC had a big rubber cover ,but it came out the same way you showed it , thanks worked great .
I think they all had the rubber boot over them. It was for sound deading I think he is missing his
Good video, helping a 17 year old kid restore my 88 K1500 5 speed.
I appreciate your honesty at the end 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Thanks for the video. Made it very easy to replace that part.

This is amazing!
Excellent Video! 🎉
Thank you. 🇺🇸
Thanks the video was direct and very informative
Well done. Thank you

@Justin Garcia Unfortunately I bought the GM genuine part! Still has the pulsating noise.
Thank you
I'm glad mine is under the hood

@orgcoast You can get to parts of it
Can you do one on the cabin filter
Great video. My blower sounds like a t-rex. Where did you get your replacement motor? Any brand recommendations?
@Nate Allred GM motor from Rockauto
I came to this video trying to figure out how to get that rubber cover off of the blower motor. To me it looks like it's not possible to take that rubber cover off the glove box and unbolting a bunch of stuff behind the glove box
Yeah. Sorry, ours didn’t have that cover.

Mine is noisy too, I just assumed this was normal for an '88. Might look into replacing it now. Thanks, Dan!
@Karl Hungus I bet it’s the resistor if it only blows at one speed!
Does it blow hard? I installed mine but I'm not sure if my evaporator is clogged or since the connections are switch it blows counter clockwise but mine doesn't blow hard
Not super hard, but it feels right
Amazon says this part number doesn't fit my '88 K1500. It has gm genuine 15-80666 and a note that says PRESS ON. Any idea what's the deal there?
@Ben Wrenchin’ Looks like Rockauto agrees, that part number fits a 1988. Not sure why it’s different than the 1990
@@SuburbanRanch Follow up question, is the new one quieter? Mine is loud but I can't tell if it's louder than normal or did your video convince me it's too loud? Haha
@Ben Wrenchin’ The new one is not much quieter!
I’m in the same situation, the 88 is a different part than this video. Did the one you buy fit it
@@grampasquirrely I never bought it, and I sold the '88 and got a '94 Extended Cab. Sorry man
How do u get the plastic cover off first
Ours didn’t have one
You failed to tell us how to remove the padded cover over the blower motor. I can't even get to the bolts holding the motor in place 🤔😫
Sorry, ours didn’t have a padded cover!
did you figure it out? Have the same issue... 😞
How did you re-attach the clips to the kick panel?
@Kyle Orr The clips just slide back onto the plastic panel. Use some pliers to remove them from the truck.
This video is helpful but doesn’t show removing the boot that’s over top of the blower 🤔
Sorry ours didn’t have a boot.
Left out to many steps.
