These damn window regulator assemblies don't last for shit. In the 12 years that I have owned my Suburban, I have replaced all 4 of them, and both driver's side twice now. Actually make that 3 times on my front driver's door because it was replaced under warranty not long after i first bought my truck. And EVERY time I replaced one, the window motor was still good but the regulator was all jacked up. The cables get jammed or else the plastic "bushings" at the end of the cables seem to crack easily and that causes the cable to bind up or even break.

When I bought my 03, the front passenger side wouldn't go down, the cable was shredded, but not completely broken. It was oem.

Interesting. Never had an issue with my 03 or 05. Think they changed them for the later models?

ACDelco or Dorman?

I've used both. I know the one replaced under warranty, and the first one I replaced myself were both AC Delco, as well as both rear door regulators. I replaced both rear door regulators around 2009, and back then AC Delco was the only ones available. Aftermarket regulators we're only available for the front doors. But now that I found that Dorman makes them for all four doors, and add that to the fact that the Delco regulators failed in less than 3 years, I just started buying Dorman units now. I do still have some good motors laying around somewhere too.
Also, in case you guys didn't know, the motors are the same front to rear even though the regulators are different. But they are side specific. A driver's side motor will fit the front AND rear regulator.

Need just a motor? I have 2.
I'm not sure. About a week ago one day my ds window stopped working. Both front windows always rolled up slow ever sinve I bough the truck. (Wonder if the ps is on its way out too.) But all other windows work off the Switch so I'm guessing it's not the switch but the regulator. I've heard it's a very common issue with nbs trucks. But either way I need one or the other or both motor or regulator?
