Re: [MBZ] OT followup on F150 blower noise

The other issue is whether parts are even available for something like this. If I had to buy the whole heater box assembly, it would likely cost a fortune. So, it one did take it apart to make a repair, I suspect that one would have to come up with a home made work around type repair. Likely do

The broken off piece was inside the squirrel cage when I removed the blower assembly. The assembly is mounted with the motor shaft vertical so the broken piece was essentially trapped in the squirrel cage. It is difficult to see up into the heater box as it is not easy to get under the opening a

Have you guys ever watched Andrew Camerata on YouTube? He occasionally features some vehicle hackery. His current truck is a Dodge 2500 Cummins and when the defrost flapper control broke he fixed it by cutting the front off the dash off and putting a lever directly on the flap. Its kind of lame

Randy already said it is a major operation (124 evapectomy type) to get to it. OK Don via Mercedes February 3, 2020 at 7:03 PM I have the single cab version of that truck - no problems with the heat or AC so far (knocking on wood), but then mine has very low miles

I have the single cab version of that truck - no problems with the heat or AC so far (knocking on wood), but then mine has very low miles. Can you get to the part such that you could use the plastic epoxy to glue the tab back on? I bet it would hold if you can get there --- On Mon, Feb 3, 2020 at

[MBZ] OT followup on F150 blower noise

I pulled the blower motor assembly out of my truck on Saturday morning. We had some nice weather this weekend so it was warm enough to do it outside. That was nice. Warm weather for us this time of year was about 0 degrees C. Put cardboard down over the snow and used an old sheet to protect me
