High speed power window motors for 81-87?? Do they make them? I searched and came up with nothing but someones gotta make something by now. Or know how to mod them to make them faster.

a few things that will help, good greased up tracks with new grease, relays, and a 100+ amp alternator

I just put in a 160apm alt and I can put up 2 windows at TIME NOW! its so cool

pokethesmot · 06-30-2009, 03:40 PM

go to manual windows...you will be amazed how fast you can get them things up when ya do it enough

ShowSS12 · 06-30-2009, 04:08 PM

What's the best grease to use on the regulator and gear? I'm replacing my motor right now and the regulator had some old dried up, black grease that was hindering the nylon wheels from moving freely. I have some black lithium grease. I know the white spray grease dries out quickly. Thoughts?

I use garage door opener grease. Light and you don't need a lot. Plus it's in a can. You can use the straw to get in small places.

Don't get a motor from Autozone! Their motors are crap.

Neon Beach · 07-06-2009, 08:31 PM

I have the same issue with my windows, I bet a good cleaning and some new lube will fix it up, what are the chances anyone took the time to do that in the last 22 years?

The new ones made by Dorman work well, and not too expensive IIRC. Doing the relay mod will speed them up a good bit, even old weak motors.

Neon Beach · 07-06-2009, 10:13 PM

Relay mod meaning?

dont mean to hijack but is there a link to this relay mod?

Neon Beach · 07-06-2009, 10:16 PM

I would also like further info ^^

C&C Chevy · 07-06-2009, 10:43 PM

Awhile back, and I can't remember which board it was on, someone was messing around with the idea adding a relay to the motor wiring to juice it up or something.

I don't have a link, but it involves running heavy gauge 12v+ wire to each door. This supplies power to the up relay and the down relay. The factory switch wiring supplies the signal for the relays, which in turn supplies a full 12v to the window motor. Wiring is not my thing, so I hope I explained that right. It's my understanding, that with the factory setup, the window motors only get about 10v at best.

SBTork · 11-18-2009, 02:11 AM

Im just wondering if anyone knows the info on the relay mod to speed up the power windows?

there is also a thread on here about replacing the brushes in the factory motors, it apparently helps quite a bit.
I'll look around......
