the only thing i think i read about that may help with that kind of thing in general is a big 3 wiring upgrade, but im not sure

but about your window sometimes stopping, thats a whole nother issue, i think

[Tribalbreak]

yea its slow slow slow then eventually just stops... then i hit the switch again and it finishes going up... but very slow

You may have a motor starting to go out.

Maybe the motor is going out on the driver side?

[Tribalbreak]

i thought electric motors were either on or off or intermittent... i dident know they slowed down or stopped but started when you re- applied the button... regulator?

Probably time for a new motor. Driver side usually quits first since it is the one used more than the others. Electric motors can wear overtime. The brushes wear out and can build up dust or even a glazed film that can add electrical resistance, slowing down the motor.

my passenger window in the silverado is nice and fast. But I just put a new motor in. Driver is super slow. even though it works im thinking of replacing it cause im sick of it being so slow. I can hold both switches up and the passenger will be up before the driver is even half way up.

thanks guys, ill take it in the the stealership and get it replaced under my warenty... only 50 bucks for the deductable... ill have them replace the driver passanger and the pass. rear because that one does not work at all...

[Rollin Thunder]

is your deductible per part or per visit??

[Tribalbreak]

with the warranty i have its 50 or 70 per visit to the dealership i got the truck at as long as the work is covered

I've pulled apart window motors, cleaned and regreased them with great results. Not sure if the case is serviceable on these trucks tho, used off ebay would be cheap tho.

Happened to me on my '00 5.3L. Replaced motor and regulator (dealer part), about $150 I think. Motor toasted out.

When I traded for my tahoe they didnt work at all, I rebuilt my rears and they are plenty fast, I bought new motors for the front and they were slow I thought it had to do with the cable system in the front

anyone know where to get some cheap power windowmotors/regulators?
my passenger side window stops half way up

edit found these does this look like a good deal
