My blower motor has started to squeal sometimes when on high. Time to replace? Reccomendations for replacement?

Squealing is usually a bad nose bearing. I'd replace it quick. If it freezes and stalls the motor, it could also take out your resistor or VBC (whichever your system has).

Replacements are cheap and it's an easy job. You could hit it with some Triflow or turbine oil, band aid it for a couple of months, but really, just change it out.

From my experience of 1, it may not be an exact replacement, but still close enough to work.
