Re: Just did CJ heater blower
You are not the first.
For some strange reason, there are 2 different blower motors listed for
that very same application.
One is a 'premium' motor that costs more and has a shaft 1/4" or so too
long and the other is a cheap one.

Re: Just did CJ heater blower
No, not dumb -- or, at least, you can't prove it by this particular
instance. I asked for exactly what the web site told me to ask for and
got the wrong motor as well (I made mine fit, it took about 2 days).
_Later_ I found out that GM used two different motors in that application,
as Mike pointed out, and I'm guessing that some retail parts stores will
default to premium models unless challenged.
That guy needs to update his web page if he intends for it to be
truly useful to fellow Jeepers.
