Window Regulators Keep Failing - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am about to install my third window regulator in the drivers side of my 71. The original one failed, ordered a replacement from Classic Industries along with all new trim and runners. That once lasted a year, thy sent me a new one this March and now that one has failed.
There is zero bind in the glass, with a new regulator the window works great. When the regulator fails it goes down easy, but there is a ton of tension trying to roll it up.
The regulator is an OER branded one that is made offshore - anyone had similar issues with these?
