Just finished replacing the blower motor on the Durango. Other than having to be a contortionist, it wasn't bad. Took about 5-10 minutes.
The old OEM part wasn't made in China, but Taiwan. Same thing.
I was fortunate enough to find a genuine Mopar/Dodge blower motor on Amazon.com
for only $45. They are typically $150. Says made in U.S.A. on the bottom! :)
The new one is as quiet as the original one that was in the Durango. Works perfectly now.
Amazon has really good deals on genuine parts, when they have them. I had also
purchased a genuine Ford water pump from them for my daughter's old car for only $63.
I try to always keep them in mind when searching for an auto part. Especially if it is sold directly from Amazon, which was the case.
