I just removed my blower motor. It was pretty clean inside no dirt came off the blades really but some came out from where the bearing would be located. I sprayed compressed air best i could and it made it a little quieter but not much. It's not worth replacing the blower motor at this time. It has zero play. I'm not gonna to replace the damn thing unless it starts sounding like the Rock Biter from The Neverending Story. If I can only find some kind of cleaner/lubricator vent spray product, i'd definitely try it.
This is what I was referring to earlier...
When I opened the site it doesn't go to anything unfortunately
Sorry, don't know why it's broke. The product is called Spraytech Vent Magic. It's a silicone lubricant/deodorizer.

Definitely worth trying! I wonder how it would make its way into the blower motor if it's all sealed up though. Hey, still worth a try!

Welp I'm glad I decided to remove the electrical cover on the blower motor to at least have a look at the motor/copper. Rust inside of it. Assuming condensation made its way in and had no place to escape quickly enough. I tried drilling a couple small holes in the cage itself near the strongest part of it in hopes I could put some lubricant in there and work it in. The sound won't go away or improve. New part it is.

Ugh......I just listened to the YouTube link you included on this thread and my truck was making that exact same noise. Emphasis on WAS because my blower motor isn’t doing anything now

I hate that you had to go through it but I appreciate all the information you provided on this thread

the VENT Spray mentioned above
had a few letters missing

Thanks for that...I didn't realize it but for some reason all the links I copy are truncated when I "select all" or "copy link" in the Brave Browser App.
