any body ever tried or heard of putting a blower motor out of a 94 chevy pickup in our squarebodys i heard they move a lot more air than ours just wonderin if it would work i might try it tomorow
-
post your results please.

Yes, I just recently did that, and it was a direct swap for my 82. The 94 motor came with a new fan, so you won't need to re-use the old one. I'm guessing the 94 motor has a few more windings in it. It seems to have alot more power, and doesn't really cost any more. Go for it.

That is good to know Grim, nice upgrade. :o

Here's what I was looking for...

Just anouther reason I love this site, I know have a folder on my comp. that has about 20 files saved from threads on this foroum that as I rebuild my truck I want to include or do upgrades. Cangrats to everyone for all the imformation here.
-
Fairly common swap that most don't ask about.
-
I didn't know about it, now its on my list, thanks.
-
Me too! My AC blows cold but it just never felt like it was blowing hard enough, even with a new fan.
-
So the '94 motor doesn't match up to my '80 non a/c truck-the heater box is not deep enough. It does however match up to my '84 a/c truck. I may however modify the box at some point.
-
Yep, old thread revival. ;D
So I'm correct that this setup will work in an Original A/C equipped truck, like a '78 model?
Also what 94 do you order the fan for? 94 chevy truck WITH A/C, or Without?
-
i never got around to doing it i got busy with rust repair but im going to do it soon along with fix my AC

I had one of the newer blower motors in my truck. They do move a lot more air than the stock ones. Mine actually moved a little bit too much air and completely shattered the fan. Took it out in pieces and put a brand new stock one back in. This was probably my fault anyway cause i got it out of the junkyard. Worked nice for a couple days. Gave its life to warm up my hands one cold afternoon. May just order a new one for the 94, i do like it a lot better than the stock one.

Glad you revived it! Cause now I know about this. But yeah I have the same question as you. I would assume, that if you have AC, you'd get a fan off a 94 truck/burb/blazer that also had AC. Can anyone confirm? I have had a problem with this from day 1 with my truck. Makes a lot of noise on high, but doesn't move much air. I even looked at all the air plumbing and couldn't find anything that could be causing that much of a problem.

Never heard of this but defiantly going to do this!!!

I just did this upgrade today i ordered a blower motor with fan from a 94 chevy 1/2ton 4 wheel drive with a 350 i wasnt asked if it had AC or not so im assuming they are the same but it does make alot of difference now if i could actually get some air coming out of thee vents instead of just the heater
-
Did you happen to take any pics of the old one verses the new one, and the install, I would like to see some if you did.
-
Can't remember off hand, but just take the donor with you when you go.
-
This is not an upgrade, they're the same motor
1978 C10 with AC part # 35334 is the same as 1994 C10 with AC part # 35334
Sorry to burst the bubble

That is a valid point I think it is because it is the only available replacement motor for our trucks now. Maybe 10-15 years ago they were different motors and PN..
