| I'm looking for a 91-96 Caprice/Roadmaster wagon blower motor wheel. I had to replace the blower motor in my 1994 RMW, and the aftermarket blower motor wheel just doesn't cut it. Does anyone have a wagon blower motor or just a wheel sitting around? Please let me know.
Thanks, Collin | |

| You are going to want to buy both the motor and wheel together. They are sort of an 'orphan' set up. I had noise problems with the replacement blower & motor I got from a dealer, and the original wheel (or squirrel cage) wouldn't adapt to the replacement motor. | |

| I cannot remember which is which, bur there are 2 different color wheels. White and gray. One is stock factory size and the other is a hair smaller in diameter and will not move as much air. | |

| The black (gray?) smaller diameter cage is stock, if my ride was any indication. I 'shimmed' it up on the shaft a little, to reduce the amount of air recirculating past the gap at the vortex. It moves a ton of air quietly now. The replacement I got from a dealer here several years ago was a noisy orphan with a white, larger diameter (but shorter) cage. Different shaft mount too, so I couldn't interchange any parts. What a piece of junk it was, to sell for this application. GM just wanted these cars gone from their books. | |

| Thanks for the replies guys, I am going to scavenge next time I'm at the junkyard and hopefully find a blower and wheel together. I have an aftermarket Valeo in there now and it doesn't move near enough air to keep me warm in the winter.
Thanks for the tips! -Collin | |

| My 95 has the replacement that roars constantly compared to the original on my 91 OCC.First time I heard the 95,I honestly thought something was wrong with the AC until I slowed the fan speed down.What a piece of junk the replacement is.Jimbeau,when you say you shimmed the blade how far did you have to move it? Thanks |

| If you are talking about the stock one, it presses about an inch on to a splined shaft. I just backed it off around a quarter inch after measuring the available distance in the airbox.It sticks in my mind that I drilled a teeny hole in the dead end of the cage to break any airlock, because it takes some effort to get it off the shaft. I learned this by accidentally ruining my original motor while trying to get the cage off. | |
