LOL! Used to be when you went to AutoZone, there was an older guy working behind the counter who knew a thing or a hundred about cars. He'd take your money, bag your parts, and give you some torque specs and install tips. Nowadays, there are kids behind the counter who will ask you if your vehicle is a diesel while they're searching for the spark plugs and wires you came in for. Alas. It's a brave new world, fellas.
I appreciate the video and the part numbers. I went with the pm129 part number when I replaced the blower in my 86 suburban. There is DEFINITELY an improvement in airflow. HUGE difference.
Another thing to do if it ain't blowing hard is to check for air leaks along the firewall and replace the foam stripping where the ducts under the dash are connected and you can reseal the firewall with butal tape used for insulating, or even silicone.
Use a van blower motor sir!!! That's the best upgrade. The van had a funky small tight heater box with alot of restrictions, so they used a high output fan in them. So like 1992 g20/vandura
Great tip- I have two square body trucks- '84 K20, '91 Full size Jimmy. Both fans seem weak to me. Just jumped online, bought two, plan to swap them before the winter rains hit to keep the widow defrost working!
@@RubinsRacing350 I finally did my swap- Had an issue as my truck does not have factory A/C. Had to do a little modifying. Seems to blow a bit more air now.
I redid my heater/ac on my 79 gmc. Check your seal between firewall and heater ac assembly. My seal was totally gone, all the air was leaking out around the housing. I resealed it with a big bead of silicone. I also blew out my ac evaporator,clogged.I .totally resealed and cleaned everything with silicone. It's tight now, I also had a big buildup of sticks and leaves obstructing the blower intake, I cleaned it, take your passenger kick panel off, you can see the blower intake. Like I said , if your firewall gasket is gone, you lose all your air, and the blower sucks in engine smells, smells perfect now, no engine fumes. Also, none of my interior plenum control air control valves worked, I could not find parts to fix, so I just wired all air valves wide open. I just control the air flow closing or opening the manual dash valves. BUT!! Wide open now, it will " "blow your hat off!!! No smell, and my AC works great, just comes out on the floor and vents,.. ok, no big deal to me. Hope this helps!! Great video though!!
Who that has been watching regularly gives a..... hoot about best or worst, I just like your channel and get a kick out of other channel blowing yer name out. Most are darn right encouraging... can't please a man who is about to get himself hung... to smile cause you tell him that your using a new rope as he just ain't quite feeling it like you an don't beg as it could rub off on the "young man" who impresses me with his doing with dad stuff. Keep it up, as you'll be a star someday
Good upgrade, might check the Evaporator core next time you have the blower motor out and see if it’s getting plugged up with dirt and debris. Thanks for sharing
Hevy C, Ya got yer moneys worth outa that squirrel cage. I usually end up gittin bout 70 - 90k miles outa them. Never saw one quite that bad yet. RTF. RUN TO FAILURE!!!
I did the same thing a few years ago. I had a blower motor from a 95 sitting on the shelf. The guy wanted it replaced because it was noisy. So free upgrade for me. Lubed it up and installed and it seemed to blow better. The other thing I did was clean the evaporator and that helped a lot as well.
I owned a 71 blazer and a 67 van. So happy I waited for my 1999 silverado. its 1000 lbs lighter than the K series it replaced.The older chevrolets have a lot of metal in them but they rust like crazy(if you live in Minnesota or some other rusty place). You are luck to live where you are.
Ole Julie the dueley sounds good. I think I heard her cryin for headers. I dun some work on a rollback a while back and headers made it run cooler and saved a cpl dinasaurs. Neverthemind tho. I know what's in the ga rage. Thanks for the vids.👍
just a heads up...I managed to find freon r-134 for 299/can at rural king on an online flash sale,and they actually let me buy it online and pick it up at the store a couple weeks later. picked up a case
You need you a snorkel on that thing, son... 83 would have been a good year for the 6 or 7 inch tall filter and the hyongongus hose to the core support. Let 'er breath that COLD air!
How much gas mileage do you get???? I have a 79 C-30 350 3 speed with a flatbed 6100 lb 11 miles to the gallon I bet yours is better than mine and maybe not
planned obsolescence: a policy of producing consumer goods that rapidly become obsolete and so require replacing, (achieved by frequent changes in design, termination of the supply of spare parts, and the USE of "NONDURABLE" materials).
Although this is true. GM is a company that is known for using the same parts across all platforms for many, many years. They do become obsolete eventually but millions of copies will still be around.
It blows better because you have the a/c blower motor vs the non a/c blower motor. I wish everyone would just realize gm has two different blower motors. And that 94 blower motor aint nothing special. Its just the last year made before it gotz relocated to the inside, thats all.
Confirmed. Bolted up no modifications required in my 86 C20 with factory AC. And a definite improvement.
Thank you for that.

I bought a brand new 1973 (first year body change) Chev Cheyenne and it run quite well too.

Christopher Dwyer thanks for the info my 78 k10 original fan sucks.
Thanks for that info!
Oh wow I’m gonna try this before the 94. Makes a lot of sense. I’m assuming you mean the front blower and not the rear one
Same part number came up at autozone 94 Silverado and 92 g20

pearsonba350 let me know how it turns out.
Did you swap those fans bud? I run an 83 k20 and my defrost is really weak.

I had an 85 still like those trucks. But pretty partial to my 06 Duramax too. Enough to still have it from new.
Good upgrade, might check the Evaporator core next time you have the blower motor out and see if it’s getting plugged up with dirt and debris. Thanks for sharing
I bet your DUALLY as happy as I am, that you got your a/c workin again
Hevy C,
Ya got yer moneys worth outa that squirrel cage. I usually end up gittin bout 70 - 90k miles outa them. Never saw one quite that bad yet. RTF.
RUN TO FAILURE!!!
what I like about the dually is my dad had a suburban with the same paint color.........sure brings back memories
any Mr. Hevyshevy video is worth watching eh
That's right 👍 for sure 😎 !
Three videos in one day! Ahhhhh.... thank you Mr Mrhevyshevy! 😁

Cool man, thanks for the share and the ride.
Glad you enjoyed it
Put some black rubber pipe insulation at the ends of the dash vents to make them stay in place. Great video...……..take care.

ElderlyIron it might as well have some big air. She’s burnin some fuel.
I keep sending everyone to the Banks Power channel. He explains air density in depth.
I still love that dualy!! ❤️❤️😎😎🤘🏼
Great job and another great video 👍
to me A/C is a must .. ENJOYED !!
I enjoy all your videos except whenI wake up on a Sunday morning and you aren't on my phone and my wife says I'm hard to get along with
i wonder if this will work on my third gen trans am . I guess its worth 30 bucks to try
AHHHHHH cold air,nice job!
Apreciate the info sir
You bet
Usually I'll use Rockauto to cross reference. I end up buying most of my stuff on there too.
Are you ready to put the 6.0 gas engine in that one you took out the other truck
airplane247 soon.
Cool stuff 👍😎
Halo what can the steering wheel you have in the truck please send me the information
Cool.... blowing cool.... I hit like.

Have you ever worked on the 6.2 diesel engines?
East Ridge Racing yep. Made one run on vegetable oil once.
One word, "Cool".
Hey buddy I see the glove box lid is bent or something?
You might have a resistor problem if you are not getting all speeds.
How much gas mileage do you get???? I have a 79 C-30 350 3 speed with a flatbed 6100 lb 11 miles to the gallon I bet yours is better than mine and maybe not
Ed Carl not better. Worse.
Thanks for sharing sir..
All the "mmhhmmms' seems to compare from side to side😆😎

Ain't nothin wrong with hoarding. The price of parts these days, or the inability to get them at the parts store REQUIRES us to hoard.
I need to redo my ac in my 87 v30

Your truck burns 10 gallons per hour? That's better them most single engine aircraft! Lol. She's looking good! :-)
10 GPH is about right for an O-360.
@@KC2DZB I was thinking if his truck would travel 11miles, and his truck gets 11 to 13 miles per gal. :-)
65 MPH would be 6.5 mpg at 10 GPH. Our Skyhawk does about 13 or so MPG. Won't haul an Expedition though.
