hi everyone, ive looked high and low with no luck, so apologies of this is directly cited somewhere. The plastic grooves/housing where the blower motor twists into place under the glove box, are brittle and broken. Therefore, my blower fan will not stay in place. Is that plastic housing or assembly core sold as a stand alone part? Trying to figure out a way to get the blower motor secured without duct tape or something else. thanks!

So it is one thing after the next with my truck and I thought there was no better place to come for advice. The last few years I have noticed problems with getting heat from the heater core. It is usually fixed as soon as the truck starts moving or I give it a little time so never investigated until now. I checked my coolant reservoir tank and it appears to be empty and I am not sure where to go from here. I know that the water pumps are notorious for going bad on these trucks so I am figuring that is probably it. Also I have been feeling the lines and one is usually not as hot or even cold compared to the other one where it runs into the heater core. 1.) Should I go ahead and put some new fluid and water in, then pressurize the system to check for leaks? 2.) Should I go ahead and just replace the water pump and thermostat? It looks like most guys are replacing the ACDelco version with another brand like Car Quest or DuraLast because of how bad the factory ones are known to be? What do you guys think? I have been told to go ahead and replace the rubber hoses and inlet lines as well. Have any of you guys replaced it and not replaced the hoses? People usually say the hoses are not far behind the water pump if that is the problem. I would hate to replace everything and have one of the hoses begin to leak in a year from now or something. As always any advice is greatly appreciated gentlemen!
