So Easy - A Caveman Could Do It!
I was getting depressed after getting an estimate of $392 from the dealer to have the window motor replaced. After researching on-line, I found this Dorman Regulator assembly at Advance and could be easily replaced without having to worry about realigning track cables and synchronizing the window operation. As a complete unit for under $97, it easily replaces the original unit with no worry of error. It took me about 50 minutes from start to finish and the unit works smoothly and effortlessly. Feels good to save almost $300 by doing it yourself.

Power Window Regulator (Yukon)
When I arrived at the store, the Window Regulator kit was ready for me, but the box was open. I was hesitant about taking the open box, but the part looked new. I installed the part and everything looked good until I went to roll down the window and one of the pieces on the regulator was put on backwards. This almost caused my window to break. I caught it in time; My new part was a return...I hope it holds up.

Good Product - Different from Original
Staff Reviewer -
The product fits perfectly and works fine. Note that it is different from the OEM one and they warn you as such with a bulletin in the box. It mounts with two bolts and two nuts (included) where the OEM product mounts with 6 bolts. It fits right in though. Removal of the door panel never is as easy as it looks in videos. There were additional screws and different clips then appeared in the video. It took me about 2 hrs, taking my time and I'm reasoably handy. I'm sure I can do in now in an hour or less.
The problem with the regulator design on this car is that it uses a bicycle brake type of cable that travels in and out of a cable housing. If the cable get the slightest bit frayed, it will jam up and fail. It gets exposed to moisture and the slightest rust on a cable will cause it to fray.
I did not lubricate the cable or the tracks when I installed it but I suggest that you do. I may open up the door again when I'm not busy to get some grease on the cables. There was some lubricant on it from the factory but not much.
The regulator works exactly like the original one, but like the original it probably will fail if the cables get wet and rust.
Advance Auto stocked the product at their stores, which was handy
Exceeds Expectations
Staff Reviewer -
One of my main concerns was if this unit would operate as quietly as the original. To my delightful surprise, it's just as quiet and strong(er) as the GM window motor.
I've replaced regulator/motors before so the installation only took me about 30 minutes. For a 1st-timer, you're looking at 45 minutes being cautious. You need a flat-blade screw driver, 10mm socket or nutdriver, 7mm (9/32") socket or nutdriver and some blue painters tape to secure the window during the swap.
If you're not sure....definitely watch the youtube videos for the job. Well worth it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Worked like a charm..!
Staff Reviewer -
I watched a youtube video of changing out the motor, ordered one from Advanced Auto, picked it up the next day and installed it in 30 minutes. It was nice to be able to do this myself. I've paid $300-400 several times to replace these motors and now I know how to do it. There is no wizard behind the curtain any longer..!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
