How do you change the regulator and motor, if it matters, its the front passanger side...

also the front & rear drivers side door handles... the front wont catch from the inside, and I broke the handle, so I am going to replace it and fix it... the rear wont catch from the inside but the outside you have to hit the unlock button and catch the handle at the right time to open it... any tips?

For the handles you could take the door apart and probably figure out the problem just by looking at the handle and the links going from handle to latch. As for the window regulator, I would change the whole regulator/motor assembly, much easier than messing with the motor and cables. I got my dorman(oem) regulator on ebay for $50 free shipping and found a how-to on youtube.

k, just wanted some insight, took apart the passanger side door before and the trim around the handle broke at the tabs

also, i have lund side steps that act like shovels in the deep snow... do you think that stainless steel side steps would look okay on the OBS tahoe? they are enclosed and will slide on the snow better and sit up a little higher
