Every wife should know their husbands blower motor.

You can order the proper relay but the bypass will confirm the issue and give you a working fan in the meantime

Getting the Peterbilt finished is going to be the priority project this winter.

Me too but mine is covered.

That was warm, I woke up in Loveland to deliver a load of steel and it was -3 and quite a bit of snow.

Starting to slow down. Iv got 2 recent uploads on old red if you haven't seen them yet. Should have another this weekend

@@Ezrider359 i have seen all your video's ez ,thats why i ask lately what kind off interiur you going to install...

That's all that man does is work.. just think of all you'd learn if you were the camera man?!

Yeah I kinda had to laugh when I saw your video because this one was already recorded.

Blower fans have a pretty high amp draw so best to have a dedicated relay/circuit. It's just like they forgot about it or it was a after thought and they just shoved it wherever

@@Ezrider359 i think you could be mistaken here. The whole point of a relay is small amp switch to turn on a high draw. You need something basic to create that electromagnet. Those alligators clips you were using are bearing the full draw.

Just a couple inches

Edison was still. Working on the light bulb ,😜

true but those you don't have to take the dash apart to check the fuse

True not complain about the service life of the part just the fact that it's like the heater circuit was a after thought and they just shoved it wherever. It was a California truck half it's life

@@Ezrider359 Automotive designers/engineers should be forced to service their designs. Might change their attitudes. Regards, Dave

@@Ezrider359 Gotcha. Well if it has A/C and was in Cali I'm sure they were using it a lot of the time and its the same circuit. I've owned and worked on a ton of them and I've personally never had or seen that issue, doesn't seem to be a high failure rate thing. Only issue I've had with the HVAC system in any of them was a blower motor resistor on my 88, in which case the fan will still work just only on high. I agree it's poor placement, but I've seen much worse and it isn't some thing that needs regular service at all.

Yeah there not horrible. Very little bore wear every time the first engine was apart factory timing chain guide failures eating into the water pump dumping coolant in the oil and over heating it's had a hard life wouldn't consider them above average reliability tho. There simple that's where they shine

@@Ezrider359 you need to get the timing chain guides with steel backing so it can't eat into the cover anymore.. They chain usually will have been making alot of noise and been slapping for a while before they eat through the cover.. Alot of people just ignore it or don't notice because the noise will go away shortly after startup once the tensioner has taken up the slack. They will still run fine of course so people just keep driving. Most people consider the trucks overall quite reliable.. the timing chain is probly the biggest downside and taking care of it is pretty well known now. Idk why but it seems alot of the rebuild engines don't last for shit.. They hardly ever last half as long as well maintained OEMs and I've seen engines from all over the place used. I think it's a combination of people using cheap parts, milling the head or blocks too much and then the timing chain is never right again things like that. Idk it might be that people just aren't willing to spend too much on rebuilds either so the companies try to keep the price down, who knows.

I didn’t have a relay problem but I’ve changed a few heater resistors on my Colorado... easy fixes but a pain in the ass in the winter

understanding how things work is a huge part of diagnostic and repair.
