Default De-leafed my blower motor

Now it's much quieter and blows harder. A++ would do again.

In case other people are wondering why their 15-20 year old car's ac isn't blowing as hard or why their blower motor is making some noise.

The thing that people who actually drive their cars use. It's this magical device that cools down the interior of the car.

Just pulled it, found nothing but some light dust. Not bad for a 210k mile vehicle.

This is one of the first things I did to my car because it was so loud and vibrating the whole dash on high speed. Took it out and cleaned it (all the pine needles and leaves were on one side throwing it way off balance) and good as new.

So........I know the feeling too. If it doesn't have A/C down here, then you can't drive it 9 months out of the year.

Is this your car with the twin leaf blowers?
I agree dried out old leaves are not helping anything.

Those leaf blowers are good for almost a 25rwhp increase
