Re: van door motor ID
Nate,
Hi - I'm not sure where you found those motor part #'s, but only one of the part numbers matched the list of van door motors that we used on vehicles. I checked all the old BOM's from everyone of the assemblies we ever built, and some of the #'s don't match anything we had on our parts lists. I worked in the engineering organization that invented and sold the PSD to the OEM's and we sourced the motors to the suppliers (Taigene & Valeo) also, until we were sold during the Delphi/GM bankruptcy.

I recall using Valeo motors on the really early PSD drive units @1999/2000 model years, until they were all replaced by Taigene motors, later. I don't recall using Bosch (I will check one more place tomorrow to confirm) - perhaps you may be getting the Window Lift motors mixed up with the PSD motors.

I sent a list of motor part #'s and vehicles used on, to Andy @Andymark, and they posted a note on the bottom of the Van Door motor web page on their site.

Also, keep in mind that the motor is just one part of the PSD Drive Unit, which might be the item the junk yards are pulling off the Vans. It is alot easier to remove the motor, once the entire Drive Unit is removed from the rear quarter of the Van. That also could be why the cost is higher than expected.

Hope this helps,
Mike
