Blower motor input!

I need to replace my blower motor, as my new blower switch didn't seem to remedy the air flow problem (no strong flow of air with the blower switch on high). I already cut a a square hole in the HVAC suitcase, and cleaned out all the leaves and junk in there. So that's no the issue.
I am confused on the price discrepency on the Advance Auto's site. Seems like blower motors range in price from $76 to $27. Here's the Advance Auto listing of blower motors http://tinyurl.com/yzk643, for my 93 W250. Would you all recommend going with a $27 range blower motor? If the Seimens unit for $76 was a better blower motor, and lasts longer, I would definitly go with that. But the way things are these days, the Seimens motor is probably also manufactured in Mexico or China??? Any input is appreciated as always!

Here is the correct "Advance Auto" Part # 5014476 = $25.94
Here is the manufacture part # 35474

Dave, I guess your right there! My guess is the Siemen's for $76 is made overseas. The $27 unit is probably just as good, so that's what I'll order. 2stroke, no I haven't check the resister. I am pretty much sure it's the blower motor, as it is oem. Bruiser, thank's for the part #'s!

If you have not had the blower out yet, you might have sucked up some trash into the blower wheel.
I have sucked in paper napkins and plastic grocery bags into the passenger side floor vent.
I have replaced my blower motor a few times already and I have noticed the aftermarket motors are not as high of an RPM as the OEM was and they seem to vary with the remanufactured ones, I have rejected a few out of the box..

Also check your fuse block for signs of overheated fuses or wires.
