yes it does stop.

[Sick_Boy]

yeah it sounds like the blower is outta wack. not sure if theres a DIY on how to get to it but it might just need to be tightened if not replaced

you can just wd40 the motor and it will stop.

did you try the wd-40? you keep asking for more help and we have no I idea if you tried the easiest solution, besides it's already been said if that doesn't work replace it

Hmm, I dunno id this has anything to do with it, but check you coolant levels..

hahahahaha...the sheer e-panic by OP is incredible. Love this thread.

Ferpete'sake get the SOB fixed. You have a FAILING BLOWER MOTOR just like folks said. Now, calm down, take some ludes, and get the damn thing fixed.

It's not an easy fix. You can ignore it. Panic is pretty disheartneing, especially after folks chime in with a reasonable response.

Have you by ANY chnce looked under the hood of this thing, read the owner's manual, and done simple responsible winter maintenance. When was the last time you checked the oil BTW?

don't use wd40 unless you want to destroy the motor completely. It will mess any other lube. Use a silicone based lube. It won't break down and is resistant to moisture.

coolant okay?
