power window all goofy!!
the window will roll half way up then stop, if i wait a minute, it will roll up another 2 inches or so, it acts like it is tripping a breaker, then resetting automatically, do these motors have some sort of safety switch that resets if the motor gets too hot?

Most likely, your motor is crapping out on you. get the window up and leave it there until you get a new one. Pretty soon it will just stop all together. I put a new one in from Autozone 2 years ago and it is still working fine.
Do a search, there is a step by step on how to replace it some where on this site. Some one else help here and point him the right direction.
But yes, the motor does stop working when it gets too hot. Once it cools down a little, it will work again for little bit.

I would second getting one from Autozone. I've replaced both of mine years ago and they are still working fine. Also autozone gives you the lifetime warranty which you will probably need as even GM Fbody motors don't last.

we all know how GM likes to save money every chance they get even if it means getting lower quality products.

check out the install guide at shoebox's website. Took me 45 min start to end. Hardest part is installing the new bolts in place of the rivets, but even that was like 5-8 mins for the hardest bolt. It's a piece of cake with his directions!

I don't want to rob this thread but I had a problem when I tried installing my passenger side motor. I follow Shoebox's guide and it was real easy to do. I drilled the old rivets, removed the old motor and installed the new motor with the new hardware. Now, I'm positive the gear on the motor was lined up with that gear looking piece, can't remember the name. No the problem is that when I try to raise the window it a sound like the gear isn't catching and the motor just sops working an i have to remove the motor for it to start moving again. I put the old motor back in and that doesn't give all slipping noise. What could be causing this?
