Re: New heater motor, sounds like helicopter
Is the rotor hitting something? It also may be out of balance.

Try running the motor on the bench and see if its making noise there.

Re: New heater motor, sounds like helicopter
No the motor is fine, it just makes a ton of noise in the heater box, I remember a friend in High School that had a 64 Chevy and His made the same whirrling noise, guess it is a added nostalgic thing for this old truck. Still all in all it warms up good.

Re: New heater motor, sounds like helicopter
Mine is hella loud too. When its on high it will drown out the 350 and the exhaust ends right under the floor board.

Re: New heater motor, sounds like helicopter
AMEN Brother, Glad mine isn't the only one, When I hit my 60th birthday I thought noises wouldn't bother me as much but its good knowing I can still hear a little.
