Noisy Fan motor bearing... anyone know where I can find a replacement?

When I have my fan on in the truck (heat, ac or vent) I can hear a clicky kinda sound. As soon as I turn the fan off, it goes away.

I went to the stealership but they want to sell me the whole fan assembly and housing for $160!

Anyone know where I can get just the bearing or maybe just the fan blade with bearing if it's not available seperately?

Thanks!

 

Nevermind, google is my friend... Rockauto.com, $35.99! http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1375643

 

I have this same issue. Did it turn out to be the fan or the bearing? Did you find a installation guide somewhere?

 

If it's worth a little extra effort/time on top of taking the fan out yourself anyway, there's a very good chance you can remedy the sound yourself with some grease. I don't think they came sufficiently greased from the factory.

 

Mines is also making a weird sound also...does it also sound like a low thumping sound?

It gets louder when I turn on the blower motor...and gets low when I turn it off...but it's not coming from the inside of the car, its coming from the engine bay

 

I havent bought the part yet, but you're right, it may be worth taking it apart and shooting it with some lithium grease, or equivalent.

 

This is a common issue, check here:

that be fo 2nd gen, OP is 1st gen.

My blower doesn't click, thump, rattle, but it does chirp like a cricket intermittently...very annoying. Probably going to tear it apart and clean/grease it. I'll post a thread if I do.
