Review on ECCPP HVAC Plastic Heater Blower Motor with Fan and ABS Cage for 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner and 2003-2007 Lexus GX470 by Troy Tec

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good price - change the cabin air filter at the same time.

On the 4th generation 4Runner - 200,000 miles with the original engine. Some pointed out the difficulty of aligning with the rear screw. It's not really a problem with the unit - it's just a very tight spot due to Toyota's design - the engine hangs in your way and the floor is too close for a screwdriver unless it's short and narrow to unscrew. Switched to flex socket for installation, easy once it works. The cabin air filter was dirtier than usual - I think during the last failure the downtime got more debris into the vents which puts an extra strain on the old engine. The new carbon filter engine made the car look fresher. About 1/20th the price of a Toyota dealer to do both - about 40 minutes with distractions. If you focus with improvised tools - 15 minutes is easy. Excellent investment.

Pros
  • Few competitors
