As the temperatures have dropped, the chirping from my blower started back up.
I mean, I like the chirping.
I really do.
It makes me want to run the car into a lake, but I like it.
So that got added to my to-do list before the wife and I covered 500+ miles over 9 hours in the red car this past weekend. I got really, really fricken lucky with an ebay purchase and snagged a new [very well balanced] motor for $50 shipped.
Got the old one torn out (for the 3rd? 4th? time), set the new one in, and dag gummit the black cage piece was rubbing on the housing. Great.
Pulled it out ready to start a return through ebay and sat them next to one another to see what the difference was...
Do you see that? The black cage is just a few mm further out on the shaft than the OE blower. Welp, might as well hit it, right?
GOT EMMM
Reinstalled it and drove through freezing temperatures in the mountains. No squeaks. No vibrations. Perfection for $50.

In the streets
I looked at the pricing of the genuine and BEHR units.
Nothing better than a cheap blower
