On the way back from Hillsborough in Dec, we left Georgia with 58 degrees in the morning. (Ah, the memories...) By that evening we arrived SE Mi with 6 degrees. Not to mention, the heater blower started making a lot of noise and finally seized. Great, no dash heater. Thank goodness for propane heaters... Anyway, in spite of the wonderful weather I wanted to get the motor replaced before I do any more cold driving and make my escape back to Florida. I had visions of standing on my head under the panel, etc. to get to the blower. (It's about 15 degrees today, too.) Not a bad job at all, as it turns out. It is located right in front of the compartment in the right side of the dash. First remove a few screws from top and bottom edge of the compartment box. Loosen around the sides and it will slide (reluctantly) out. ![]() ![]() Behind you will see the HVAC plenum and the blower motor. ![]() Remove the wires (power and ground) and the screws around the edges and you can remove the blower assembly. ![]() ![]() The fan is attached to the motor with a nut on the shaft. ![]() You can replace the motor with or without the fan. I removed the fan and found the motor was marked UMI6-406 underneath the fan. I was not able to find a direct match to that number but I found a replacement motor with fan at Summit, which is shown as the one for the P30s from '78 into the 90's. Around $33. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FSS-35334 Very easy job so far. About 1/2 hour to get the old one out, should be about 10 minutes going in. For once I get a break. 9708-M0037-37MM-01 "98" Monarch 37 Spartan MM, 6 spd Allison Cummins 8.3 325+ hp | ||

We discussed this before in terms of Breakaways. Looks like the same fan. I found one at local chain store. You had much larger opening to work through. BRkW has small opening behind a vinyl map pocket. | |||

I've had mine out a couple times on my Aristocrat (Newer name replacement for the Breakaway) Even with the map pocket access it is an easy in and out. It needs to be replaced. I have been waiting until I got the rest of the heat working correctly. Have a replacement in my shopping cart somewhere. Just replaced the one in my 98 S10 and I had to take 1/8 of the engine compartment out. Steve glad you get to escape. Wish I could too. Someday. DBarth is in a snowbank sleeping. Just keeps being so darned cold and snowing. Ice fishing tomorrow. Lynn wants some crappies. I know Rusty your working on your Tan. ![]() Dana & Lynn 1997 38ft Monarch front entry Spartan Mountain Master Chassis Cummins 8.3 325hp Allison MD-3060 6 speed 22.5 11R Cummins Factory Exhaust Brake 8000 watt Quiet Diesel Generator 9608-M0022-38MI-4C Christened Midnight 1972 22ft 72081169MC22C Christened Camp Barth | |||

I thought you had posted on this. I think you got a better price too. ![]() (That reminds me, when I quote any source, take that as a reference/ballpark number, not an endorsement. I'm often too lazy to spend much time browsing around for the rock bottom price.) I'm sure I could get the motor alone for about $20 if I chased around for it. I got fan and all to be sure it has no cracks and is balanced. I figured the pictures might add a bit more info, I probably should have posted them on the other thread... ![]() 9708-M0037-37MM-01 "98" Monarch 37 Spartan MM, 6 spd Allison Cummins 8.3 325+ hp | |||

Indeed, the photo sequence is GREAT, Steve. I think the motor comes only as a fan assembly. | |||
