Finally got around to dealing with the blower motor noise.....leaves all in the bird cage and in the firewall. Car blows air on level 3 and 4 very quietly now. If you're looking for a how to i did a small write up on it on the cars build thread

You should have put a picture of a dumpster full of leaves, tree branches and mustang parts. Just kidding.

I know mine has crap in it (again). Just need to take the time to get it out of there (again).

Gotta be a way to keep that crap out of there.

Yeah it would be nice to install some sort of screen at the beginning of the black hole that doesnt allow the crap in there.

I had dog food in mine one time. Had to have come from a squirrel or mouse is the only thing i can think of.

Lol i had solid acorns in mine so I know dog food is an option....some of these leaves im sure are probably just as old as the car

Damn that is insane. Mine definitely needs cleaned out I need to do this because I can hear it when the AC is on.

Once you remove the birdcage stick your arm way up in the tunnel to get the rest. I found 3x's as much inside the firewall. If you only do the blower/bird cage it will fill back up sooner I would imagine.

You could always do this to help keep **** out of the fan: https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...cares-lol.html

Granted you'd still have to clean it out just as often.

I was able to remove mine and expected a bunch of leaves but there were only a couple. Then after manually spinning the motor I can tell the squeaky noise culprit is from the motor itself, and not debris inside of it.

Is there a way to open it up and possibly lubricate the shaft inside? I can't figure out a way to take the clear finned part off of the actual motor itself.

Im not sure. I know I saw a write up somewhere about repairing that/deleting that noise but I also remember people saying it's better to just replace it because that noise will come back sooner

Guess I'll just have to deal with it. I guess it's asking too much driving a loud *** car anyway haha.

I don't think so. Exhaust sound is one thing, but that really high pitched squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee from the blower at low speeds is downright obnoxious.

Yeah, mine does it too. Wish I had saved the blower out of my old 98, it never made such a racket!
