Hey, now that's an idea I really like. GM blowers are reasonable and last 20 years or
more. The question I would have is how much current do the GM vs the Pug fans draw? I'm
only worried that GM blower might overtax the speed controller board in the Peugeot. If
anyone knows the current draw for either model I'd like to know.
