Window motor install
What's up everyone! Just placed an order for a passenger side/right side window motor from RockAuto.com. I've done some research on YouTube and on here on the install but thought I'd ask for any feed back on the install or tips to make it easier. Any help would be appreciated! Tired of that window being do darn slow to go up and down lol!

^^^What he said. I used to work in the engineering lab for ACI. I tested window motors/regulators daily.
If the window is going up/down slowly its because the regulator cables are frayed and coming apart. The inner cables are twisted wire like a throttle cable or bicycle brake/gear shift cable. Once the lube degrades the inner wire will let go strand by strand and start to ball up which is why the window goes up/down slowly. It is an easy job once the door panel is off.

Well I am so happy I asked! Unfortunately, I had ordered the door motor itself already. No biggie, just checked and the price for the combo isn't much more so placing that order as we speak! Thanks again for this advice, looking at it now it does look a hell of a lot easier doing it as a unit/combo!

Got my setup in the mail a few days ago and RockAuto was great about processing the return in a timely matter! Now to knock this install out this Thanks Giving weekend.
