in my truck tha driver is shot and the passanger side goes half down, im thinking bout just converting to manual and leaving it manual cuz of this problem.. what do ya think and what problems with both of them have yall experience. o by tha way its a 84 chevy lwb
What do you use the truck for? If it's a daily, fix the power windows. If it's only used occasionally I'd toss in manual windows because the doors are much lighter too.
I almost lost my arm changing the window motor in my K5. Remember it's under tension when down lol. I suggest you use a coat hanger or the like to wrap around the track parts before you unbolt them.
I have og rolly windows and they are fine by me, they haven't broke or gotten any slower (except when i'm lazy). Would I like power windows? Yeah probably. But at the same time, I'll probably never have to worry about these.
I had manual windows as well and converted to power windows from A1 electric. Now my passenger side doesn't go up all the way so I have the "help" it up when I want to lower my windows. I'm pretty sure problem is with the motor?
Is that all, just run some power cable and use a relay so the existing motor power instead will trigger the relay? Why wouldn't GM supply the full battery voltage to the motor? Will the extra voltage hurt the motor?
I'm sure those questions were covered in that long-ass thread, but I'm hoping for some cliff's notes...

It was more like 'ZOMG I DID IT AND THEY WERK GREAT NOW'
But I'm pretty sure GM didn't think about relaying anything other than the turn signals and hazard lights on the square bodies.
Shit, I don't even know if my hazard lights are relayed.
It depends to your budget and priorities. If you have the budget go to the repair shop, i think the problem there would be the motor. If you can purchase the second hand motor then do, its much cheaper though.
for sure got to manual automatic goes out pretty qiuck i switchin mine over to manual also
