Upgrading the heater revisited
 

ok I know I skipped some recent threads on this, but what are some good
relatively cheap ways to to upgrade my heat? It's got warmth, but the
blowers damn near dead. This is an 88 YJ.

Re: Upgrading the heater revisited
 

5 steps to heat in a CJ and early YJ's:
1)Replace the thermostat
2)Drain, flush, and refill the cooling system
3) Have a radiator shop rework the heater core ($30)
4)Do the blower upgrade

5) Make sure you do not have an airlock in the line to the heater

The blower upgrade requres you to remove the whole heater box.
Remove the passenger seat, find the FOUR bolts that hold it to
the firewall, and out it comes. Do the motor and the heater core
at the same time.

Cheers.

Simon should take his old motor _with_ him to the parts store. There are
two different motors offered, one with a long shaft and one with a short
shaft. The long one will cause him nothing but trouble.
