 Heater upgrade So now that I am driving the Bronk more I definitely need more heat during those cold days. Looking into doing the heater upgrade and was wondering if you need the cage and motor or if just the motor would work. Any thoughts on if there is a big deal comparing one from the other?

Re: Heater upgrade Just buy a good blanket and keep it in the truck. Lol The motor and the cage are said to be the good recipe. The motor is  faster than the stock Bronco unit. And the cage does the job of translating that to more air. You might be able to get away with the smaller cage on the better motor for some increase though. Have you insulated your Bronco yet?

Re: Heater upgrade Yes motor and cage. I posted the part numbers I used about a year ago. easily available at napa and cheaper than buying it from a vender. You do have to cut the opening a little bigger but it's well worth it.

Re: Heater upgrade Agreed. If you're gonna do it, the extra $15 is worth the bigger wheel.

Re: Heater upgrade And buy a new Amp for your stereo. The price of the bigger cage and motor is more noise in the cab.

Re: Heater upgrade Doesn't need to be a Chev. blower motor.
One from a '92 or so F250 will work too.

Re: Heater upgrade I found a 97 F350 with a 351w. Will that heater system work ?
