Default A/C shuts off.

I’ve read that there is a known defect from the factory on GM trucks that makes the A/C blower shut off intermittently for no apparent reason. Was wondering if there was a known fix for this besides purchasing a new resistor series from the dealership. I don’t understand why I should have to purchase a part to replace the one that is admittedly defective from the factory. Any suggestions? It’s getting worse by the day and I don’t have the funds to purchase the replacement part right now.

I am a huge Chevy fan and I've not heard of this issue before. I addition, I am an expert automotive A/C technician, in addition to owning many Chevrolet vehicle during my lifetime, so I would know of something like this. Where did you get this info?

I own a 21 year old Chevy K-1500 4x4 pickup that has never had an issue with the A/C, nor a blower motor, which like my fuel pump, has _never_ been replaced, BTW.

And you can find parts online that will likely be cheaper then buying them from a dealership. Can you PROVE your notion that Chevrolet pickups have this issue?

there was a recall on the blower motor harness...melting...its not an intermittent fault though.
