GMC heaters would be harder to find that Chevrolet truck heaters. The upper two heaters are almost the same as the Chevrolet truck heaters (the color and name tags are different). | | | | | Joined: Sep 2015 Posts: 17 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2015 Posts: 17 | I had the same problem so I repaired it myself. I discarded the coil and replaced it with coiled up 8mm copper micro bore tubeing. Cost next to nothing. It works but dont expect too much.

They are also on eBay for sale in various prices and conditions. I think the round cores are about the hardest ones to find, as the reproduction ones are pricey., but the blower motor in 12v is reasonable priced.
