Quick note! Forgot to mention! When you are looking at the pulleys, some have grooves and some are smooth. Fire up the motor and watch where the belt runs on the smooth ones. You may find, as I did, that the belt runs close to the edge. The belt will "lock-in" to the grooved pulleys, but...

Hmm... broken window ribbon? The motor has a gear that drives a stiff white toothed ribbon. The motor gear is pretty tough, but thte ribbon is plastic and many have been known to break. The good news is that if it is indeed the ribbon, they're cheap: about $25. The bad news is that you have...

My only headlight motor problem... I had the dreaded spin-on after hitting the switch. At one point the headlight stopped halfway and the worst shrieking I've ever heard came from the motor. Stationed in Germany with no Chevy dealer anywhere close, I figured I had nothing to lose by pulling...

Brian, It sucks a little. Off comes the door panel, the sheet metal door liner, the bose speaker box (if you have one) and you have to pull out the glass. You have to pull out the regulator because the motor is riveted onto the regulator. Your new motor will bolt on instead of rivet on...

Clicky noise - Alternator Armature hitting the windings? I had the dreaded clicky noise in mine. Turns out the front bearing in my alternator was getting sloppy. I pulled the alternator apart and saw shiny spots on the armature and windings. I put in new bearings and it went away; 6 years...

85 Z-51 polyurethane install! Surprising easy! Hey gang! My wife and I just pulled the 700R4 out of my Vette for a rebuild. We figured we'd knock out some other stuff since the car was apart. A lucky step in the tranny removal was removing the exhaust. It actually came off easily and...
