Default Bras are performance?

WTF I can't get a straight answer to a blower motor/heater question..but there are 30 responses to a front bra post??Come on guys..is there anybody here with ANY technical advice that is REAL..Not just shade tree stuff..which seems to be the bulk of the advice here.This is a joke..no wonder the bulk of the posts on this forum are on off topic.

Maybe a leaf from the above mentioned shade tree is stuck in your blower motor

I have made the same observations regarding the "fluff" posts. I don't know how many members actually know how to turn a wrench but the BS threads DO allow the ones that don't to participate. Regarding your "shadetree" comment, if you want ASE certified advice bring the car to the dealer. I consider myself a hobbyist or "shadetree" mechanic as I do not earn my living that way. My experience has helped a few by saving them time or pointing them in the right direction.

Well, isn't this a bs/fluff post that is way off any topic about tech/performance? If we all all had great technical skills we wouldn't need this forum.

Your kidding....right ? Your blower/motor had a blown flux capacitor and will not operate on less than 1.2 giga watts of power.

I don't own your year model....so no help for you. Pi$$in' on people is a sure fire way to get little or zero helpful feedback.....you might have just bumped/ttt the origional "blower-no-workey" thread instead.

Good Luck

A lot of the real technical guys here, ( I am not speaking for anyone) seem to not visit here with as many hints as they used to, but some of these guys been here like 10 years and are sick of the same questions, and if you notice, most of the newbies with like 3 years are doing MOST of the posting, ask in off topic actually they might help. good luck

Blowers and heaters are not performance. As I mentioned before, take them out for performance.

Looks like you got a lot of help and answers in that post; you never even responded to the last two suggestions to let any of the people trying to help you know that they did or did not work. How are they going to continue to try to help you if they don't even know you still need their help?

So you post on a FREE internet forum and then complain about the responses you receive. I read the thread and looks to me like you got the correct information, including a diagram. If you want better technical advice they have places called garages where people called mechanics work. They will do whatever you like for a mere $85.00/hour.
You could also call Godon Killebrew and for $4.00 a minute he'll talk to you.
