I think I actually pulled some motors off of some of those assemblies before throwing them away. Of course I made sure they we're good.
Front passenger window not working. Need help.

If you have a way to power it, that would be a surefire way to test it. I have a Powerprobe, which has the ability to send power and ground to whatever I'm testing with the probe. Its the ultimate test probe in my opinion. But anyways, if you have two lengths of wire that you can attach to the battery and touch on the motor terminals, then you can verify 100% that the motor is dead.
I'm also assuming that you tested the wiring with a meter or probe already. If not, then do that first. Make sure that the blue and brown wires on the motor are getting voltage when you press the window switch. If you ARE getting voltage, then its pretty much safe to assume that the motor is toast.

The motor is wound like your suspension so the motor doesn't have to work so hard. If you try to remove it be very careful. You should be able to see if the regulator is bad by looking at the nylon rollers in the track attached to the window. If cost is an issue junk yards have tons of these units and most will test it for you before you buy it. You can also test the motor with a battery.

I have a drivers side spare. I kept my drivers motor when my regulator went out. Also, in case you guys didn't realize it, the front and rear windows use the same motor. They are side specific, but not front to rear. So its only left and right sides have different motors, not front or rear. BUT... They DO have different regulators! Front and rear regulators are different, but the motors are the same if you unbolt them from the regulator. You can swap a motor from a front regulator to the back, as long as its on the same side of the truck. But the regulators jam up so often that they need to be replaced before the motors do, and they are usually sold as an assembly, so its easier to just replace the regulator and motor assembly as a whole.

That's what happened to me, thus extra motors.
