My work truck is an '02 Silverado with 231K on the clock that I bought used in '05 w/90K miles. It's been a great truck! 1500 2WD extended cab w/full 8' bed and 4.8L engine.

It came from the factory as a base model so I had power windows installed not long after purchase. It's an aftermarket kit that has servos that drive the manual cranks under the door panels with two rocker switches mounted in the dash. The driver's side broke it's sprocket teeth a few years ago so I just disconnected the servo and re-installed the manual crank, which wasn't a big deal to me, as long as the passenger side remained powered.

So despite applying multiple applications of silicon spray over the years to help lube the windows, the passenger side finally got too "resistant" so the servo wasn't strong enough to operate it. My guess is the regulator has some corrosion and if replaced with a new one, I'll be back in business.

It still has the stock "manual" regulator, but the replacement I bought is powered. I'm thinking it's just two wires to spice into it that go to the switch on the dash and it should work just like the aftermarket setup. I just hope the regulator is a same spec replacement.

Going to try and do the job tomorrow afternoon, so we'll see. Be nice to have the window go up and down smoothly again. I miss that. If this works I'll do the driver's side.
