I called around started getting discouraged as nobody stocked one :fs1: Autozone 2 towns away had one in stock but it was only the life time warranty one the guy said so it would be spendy :( $26.99 :eek: was the Lifer time spendy one they also had a $15.99 unit that was out of stock with a 1yr . . .

:bowdown: Yep she's brand new . . . the blower motor seemed to be a simple easy straight forward swap out take 3-5min right ? . . . :no: no so fast :fs1: . . .

 

First the removal easy, second removing the fan blade from motor :rotf: ya screw that after you ruin it get the replacement its metal 8) . . . Oh and it's 1/4-3/8" longer then the OEM plastic one easy fix, take your big flat head screw driver and a hammer and knock out the Metal ring on the inside of the blower housing reinstall blower have fantastic heat on all speed & option settings :cheers:

 

Oh and the bolts holding the blower take 5/16" shallow socket ;)

 

Not so frozen in Wisconsin :thumbsup:

At least you have the 2.5L its a little easier then the 4.0L

 

I had to replace the one on my xj,its got the coolant bottle up there and the ABS crap in the way.

Ya but the 2.5er is going to be replaced with my AMC-V8 :thumbsup: hopefully that don't make it more challenging :ack: Tho i don't see it being used in cold weather after the swap, But i may just change it out one last if i have to relocate some thing in the way :thumbsup:
