Hey I was driving down to gulf shores yesterday and I was doing 80 plus the hole way it took me 9 hrs and Now I think I have blowen my blower up of fked it up has anybody had the same problem or heard of it bc I have to tow it home now

 

I haven't had a problem doing 80+ for 9+ hours before, we drove to Florida from IL (and back) in the stage 2 Cobalt. Probably the only time we were under 80 was when stopping to eat/get gas and when getting back up to 80. No problems at all. Hope it get fixed for you.

 

well a little more info will help. What is going on? Symptoms?

But the blower is not going to fail like that under the conditions you stated unless is was a faulty unit from the get-go

Im betting you had low oil in the blower already while driving, then you were driving 9 hours straight with the mods you have doing 80+ and no cooling mods and it siezed up on you.......I have seen it happen on a lightning and an 03 Cobra.

 

More info? What happened with the blower?

 

Just saying your car stopped working gives us absolutely nothing when trying to diagnose a problem.. over the internet....

More specific please.

No... Blower is a sealed unit.. it doesnt lose oil...

 

Want to bet?? You think no cooling mods and 80+mph driving for 9 hours straight wont cause a problem...I have seen Eaton blowers burn off oil from heat causing them to sieze. You are supposed to change the s/c oil in the eatons often especially the M62's which make a crap load of heat. Also the bearings should be changed out as well every certain amount of miles....His blower is shot im betting from heat or the bearings crapped out. If you would like we can discuss the Eaton m62 being a so Called "Sealed Unit"....

 

at 80 mph or more and cruising, I don't think the blower would be in use (as in no +PSI) no?

 

A blower can use oil eventhough it is a sealed unit

 

Blowers are belt driven and are in use as soon as the car starts. You do not see positive boost pressure because of the bypass valve being open when your foot is on the skinny pedal.

 

Well, it's sealed. As in it doesn't share oil with anything but itself... so what other definition of sealed is there? There is no need to change the bearings and oil "often". Hell, I have a print out from EATON that says it's "recommended" to change the oil at 100k. I only changed mine because I ported it. The blower will not be making "a crap load of heat" unless it is pressurizing the intake mani. So, at cruise, there is no heat production that would be harmful enough to cause damage that severe

 

take it to speed and sound and find out whats wrong with it

 

Ok so we have looked at down here I burned the oil up and the car runs fine it just makes a real bad sounds so i am getting it towed home from here on sat

 

GL man! It probably needs a new blower....Was compression good etc?

 

Bring it by the shop

 

my blower started to leak oil so i had to replace a seal on mine. did you check to see if your was leaking?
