Totally new here but after pricing the replacement of my blower motor and resistor for my 1995 Chevy Silverado I wanted to see if I could do it myself. I'm having a hard time locating the correct parts and don't want to purchase the wrong components. My truck is a 1995 K1500 Silverado with the Z71 off road package. She's got almost 250,000 miles on her and the blower motor makes a horrible screeching noise after being turned on for a while. Shortly before my LOW and MEDIUM fan settings quit working I noticed that the blower almost seemed to stop at times if it wasn't on HI. I'm assuming the fan/blower is just old & warped and needs to be replaced to correct the noise and the resistor needs to be replaced as well. However, I'm not quite sure how to do all this. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

You can Get a Replacement Blower motor and Fan from most autoparts places You may want to look at replaceing the fan control modulator that sits on top of the blower box. Since you said that it had lost the med fan setting I've already had to replace the mod twice in my 95 c- 1500 truck. I was told By a friend that you will need to take a couple of bolts out from the pasenger side of the Dash to be able to remove the old fan. I've got to do the same thing on mine the Blower motor has a bad bearing and sometimes will not come on with without a little gentle persuation ( Tapping of Fan With Hand or screwdriver). I think the average price for the fan is $50 for motor and fan ( Yes go ahead and get a new fan the old one is so brittle it will fall apart if you try and take it off of the old one and its alot less hassle) the Modulator is under $15.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
