Well, I've bypassed the sensor in the bottom that limits it's downward travel. I have bypassed the switch in the tailgate itself and now it only uses the switch in the dash, I have replaced all the bad connections from the PO's previous attempts to fix it, and have replaced the drive motor as well. I have had the whole assembly apart numerous times, greased it, adjusted the spring tensioner, etc.. It still acts up. Funny, when it decides to just quit working, I can get mad and kick the tailgate right where the motor is and it will start again. Like the transmission is hanging up or something. I am just sick of fighting with. I have a drawer system I just built in the back area of the burb, and I can't use it when out hunting and such because i never know when the window will decide not to work, locking me out of access to my gear.

I looked through my LMC books, and they have manual components listed for both the blazer and the burb. They only list one part number for a tailgate that supposedly fits all burbs. So I can only assume that the regulator and handles will swap from electric to manual without much issue. I guess I'm gonna gamble and order the stuff if I can't find one in a wrecking yard this week. I'll report my findings.

Still open to input though. Any advce that might save me more frustration is welcome.
