Just did CJ heater blower
 

Incase anyone is interested in how easy or how much better the air flow is
after swapping out the blower motor in a CJs heater is. Did it from this
site http://www.4x4wire.com/jeep/tech/interior/cjheater/ Well it took me
about 2 hours to do, most of that was cutting off and replacing bolt below
battery tray. It's only 4 nuts, 3 cables and a plug. As a plus I found out
that 2 out of 3 cables weren't attached, so pulling knobs wasn't doing a
whole lot, and that my flexible peice that goes to dash vents wasn't hooked
up. Anyway I would say that were I was getting air before it has doubled,
but overall I am probably getting 4 times as much air to dash vents. By the
way, $27.00 Canadian for the blower motor, cheap upgrade for double the air
flow.

I'm actually about to do this upgrade today. I got the blower for $35CDN
after tax at PartsSource. Is it worth doing? Any tips/hints? I'm putting it
in an '85 CJ7. Thanks!

Yes indeed, it's worth doing, but I would make this one suggestion. If the
heater core is old, have it boiled out or replaced while you have it apart,
saving the aggravation of having to take it apart later.

Re: Just did CJ heater blower
 

Hmm, ok. I actually just have it all apart now and am making a template for
the new blower motor to cut out. I did notice though that my new motor does
not have a spongy seal around it like the stock one did ...is this going to
have any adverse effects? I was going to try and use the old one and simply
enlarge the hole but there isn't enough material there to make it work. Is
it worth finding/buying one that will fit the new motor?

Thanks!
