Power Liftgate Motor Replacement

[Eismann95]

I had my '08 Denali XL diagnosed with having the gear stripped, in my liftgate actuator. Is there a replacement just for the gear or just the motor and gear? I'd rather not have to spend the coin for the whole unit, if it can be fixed that way.

All I've heard is crickets...

I saw a video on YouTube that did the swap, and said there may be a part number for the gear and motor, but nothing was listed. I'm sure I'm not looking in the right place for the part numbers, but any help with this would be appreciated...especially by my wallet!

This looks like it might be the replacement motor for the unit, without having to buy the entire assembly. Does anyone know if this is what you would need to replace if the gear is gone or is this a completely different part?

Have you found a replacement for the actuator gear? I bought a new motor to realize the old motor was good. I opened up the compartment that the motor shaft feeds into and the white gear inside is not engaging anymore to move the arm that the shock sits on. Everything works as normal, the Tahoe chimes, lights blink and door handle locks and unlocks. Would love to replace the stupid gear instead of $300+ for the whole thing.

I never heard from anyone about replacing the gear. Turns out my issue wasn't the gear, it was the latch. I had to put a new latch in this weekend, because the kids slammed the door down and blew up the gear in there. Once I replaced the latch, the power gate worked fine.
