A buddy has a 01 ram, and his blower motor is acting up. Where is the best place to buy that motor? THanks

Are you sure it is the motor and not the resistor?

i like to use www.rockauto.com they will take care of ya there. if you want new or if you want used witch i wouldn't bother on a blower www.car-part.com . also if the blower only works on high setting it's the resister that needs replaceing also if the other settings only work part of the time it's the reister. now if the blow make a Whine like mine does it's the blower but i am not going to change it until it stops. pluss it's to cold out.

He said that he could hear it barely running, then he hit the housing and the motor started running full speed. So he figured he needed a motor. Don't know.

I would pull the resistor first and take a look, just two screws. I get my parts from.

I have the same problem on my 01. Only blows on high AND it whines the first 30 seconds it is on. Gonna change the resistor and the blower motor.

Here is a link I found for a service manual for 01's. Download it and open it. It gives pictures and instructions for both the resistor and the blower motor. The resister is in the "power center" (basically a fuse box?) in the engine compartment. Good luck.
