Go back to the parts store and get yourself a drop in 100 amp like mine. Cost $60.00 - You'll be able to run that heater motor on high with no problems.

Hey kidney, its not even a project, you can do it during halftime of a football game.Kidney said:Guilty as charged ......That is actually my next project. The weather has been pretty crappy so I havent had a chance to get around to it.

Napa squirrel cage # 655-1406 = Advance Auto p/n: 35602 for $14
That's less than half the moolah ($$) that napa wanted.

Mark Troy said:I finally did this upgrade last weekend. I no longer think about getting an aftermarket heater like the heatercraft. This is a wonderful upgrade. Thanks Hotwheels! Where'd you get the idea? Anyhoot I thought I'd add some more photos to this thread.
As you can see, I did a complete rebuild with new seals and heater core.
The wife is away on a trip so I can use the dining room for Man/Bronco purposes BTW my motor was made in Canada and is not a Siemens brand, and a lot less expensive than Napa's Siemens unit.
Yeah I checked that also. The fins of the squirrel cage are directed the same as the original. I want to check the rotation of the original motor - the new one turns counterclockwise (looking at the motor shaft).cbfomoco said:for the pic it looks like it spins backwards btu it could be me would that be a problem or is ti why it works so well ? thanks also does napa sell the new seals for the heater or is that a bronoco house thing. thanks

i have the old 60 amp alt and i run the upgrade heater motor and halogen headlights. it was slowly dagging the battery down until i made sure i had a good ground between the bat and body and the engine and body. it works fine now. when i need to replace the alternator, i will certainly go for a bigger one.
if there is a reason i dont aways run the high setting, it because its so loud.
