    If you're on your original regulator, get a new one.

    I have a '98 with 140k miles and I've replaced 3/4 of mine. All replacements are new with lifetime warranties.

    I'm not really sure because I just bought the car last week haha. It's a 97 with 156k miles though.

    Is it harder to just replaced the motor?

    EDIT: Also replacing the whole thing doesn't do much if I'm getting the parts from a junkyard anyways because they will just go bad too and who's to say that they will be in better shape than mine.

    I don't think the JY will allow you to buy the motor separate anyway.

    The regulator failure point is almost always the cable. It will get bound in the pulley and then get trashed.

    Just get a new one...trust me.

    just get the whole new regulator, its only a few bolts to replace it, and you would have to remove it to change the motor on it, and the cables do wear out and jam up.
