I took apart my passenger side door assembly to fix what I thought was a window that fell off the track today. I then discovered that the cable assembly that the motor "reels" up was all twisted and f-d up around the motor. First off, what the hell happened there? Second why the hell did gm go with that funky system? And thirdly, what part # do I need to fix it? The whole power regulator assembly??? That looks like a pain to replace, jesus.

I had to replace mine last week. easy D.I.Y. job

 

If you go to the dealer parts alone cost $ 240.00 - 280.00

 

If you search your local parts stores for aftermarket they can be had for $ 100.00

 

I went with aftermarket. Fit is perfect with all of the bolt holes lining up, the wiring connector is perfect and the 1 touch operation is working. If another one goes out, I'll buy aftermarket again.

 

Look at the link above It has the part numbers for the drivers door and a link to the Mfg. web site that with more part numbers for other models, makes and years etc.

 

Oh yeah if you go to the dealer to have them do the wholw job add 1 hour (minimum) abor @ $ 60.00 per hour

Sounds like a normal issue to me, Power window regulators go out very easily on vehicles now a days. Just a matter of time before they go out on my truck and start going out on my Crown Vic. My previous vic lost all 4 regulators within a 2 year period, the regulators are just very cheaply made with cheap plastic, CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP! (no I'm not a bird)

Man are they ever cheap today (quality not cost)

 

Previous vehicles

 

Nissian Maxima 6 replaced (4 warr. & 2 by me)

99 Jeep Grand cheroke (2 WARR & 2 by me)

Jeep dealer parts counter only charges me around $ 80.00 for the factory regulator

93 Jeep cheroke 0 replaced sold with over 250,000 miles and all were stock and worked!

 

78 Datsun Z 0 replaced still it and it's in my garage works like new.

 

I was hoping with the Yukon they would have improved the cheap cable mechanism, But what I found out is that with the NBS they went with the cable system, where before they had the old gear lever system.

 

Well at least I have found a cheap cost alternative to the stealership parts counter when I need to replace the other cheap factory regulators when they fail

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
