Re: Globe Motor Durability Versus RS-545
Since the introduction of the globe motor in 2000 or 2001 I've never seen one failed or ever had a single issue with the motor or gearbox!

I have the same motor, or a very similar version on my 1999 S-10 4wd transfer case......it has performed flawlessly for 188,000 miles.
