Mine used to work like that in the fall and summer. It was plain crap
in the real cold.

Yup, you have the same heater.

You can fix it's case easy! A blower motor from a full sized 73 Blazer
4x4, 350, auto with AC fits right in. The hole under the battery needs
to be cut bigger, but the squirrel cage fits right on.

Some place in the US sells two versions of the motor for some reason.
Labeled wrong is my thought. One is longer shafted. You want the short
one if they have 2 choices.

It is a wicked upgrade! Literally low is better than the stock high was
for volume. You can defrost all the windows, even in the real cold.
