Default Has anyone replaced there power window motors on there LS1?

I'm looking at different motors online, and there are a bunch of different makes. ACI , Cardone , Siemens. Are there any that are stronger or faster? Has anyone used any of the makes listed here? Thanks...

Me too. Don't mess up any of the fiberglass in there. Mine goes up just fine. But I messed up some fiber glass so it rattles and doesn't go up completely. I have a fix though.

My passenger window will go 3/4s of the way up then die out. I have to wait about 5 minutes before it will go all the way up. Will a new motor fix this problem?

Yes. The old motor gets too hot and has to cool down before it'll work again. Like others, I suggest the autozone window motors. They are only $45 and have a lifetime warranty so you'll only have to pay to replace your window motors once and then they're free after that if they ever die again.
