Just FYI. There is nothing at all wrong with your fan motor. The motors that GM put in these cars was never a powerful motor. Even on the highest setting. It's adequate, just not as powerful as most of us would like. I don't know of a direct swap in type motor that would be more powerful, but would be interested myself if anyone knows of one.

I hate how weak the fan is also. The max fan speed on my car is like the lowest fan speed on a newer car.
