Default noisey blower motor

when you first start my 92 the blower motor squeals like a stuck pig, is the motor on its way out? or anyway to tame down the noise

The bushings in the motor are most likely shot, a new motor is pretty inexpensive.

Replace the motor. Its like $30 and takes about 10 minutes to install. You replace it from the engine side. Behind the washer-squirter bottle. Sometimes you need to solder on the old plug to the new motor. Also need to move the plastic squirrel-cage to the new motor.

I played the "oil the motor" game for about 6 months before it just seized up.

Junkyard pulls last about 6 months too. lol..
