Anyone have a broken cab latch motor or two that you want to sell to me?

Check out DCAuto in Atlanta - they seem to have reasonable prices. Also, LA Dismantlers has a 95 Cab that came in two weeks ago with motors.

I think I might have one. Have to look, so ping me next week to remind me. If I find one, it's certainly yours for the price of shipping

PS. Just curious why. If you are looking to duplicate the internal gear, it's been done and is available for $25.

Where can you get the gear for $25? I found them at vertex for $99 and wonder if I paid too much. Anyway, I want to build a spare with new gear.

Maybe I'm way wrong on the price, thought Vertex was $25.

At some point I've spoken to a guy in Germany who was willing to make gears for some reasonable amount, cheaper than Vertex. at the end I've bought another used motor at the time, so did not pursue either avenue.

BTW, it just dawned on me, since you're a new cab owner. You know that there's a recall on these motors, right?

Here's the pic I got fro Germany.

All recalls present and accounted for -- first thing I checked when I bought the car, not even knowing what they were for. I'll bug you next week with a PM about that spare. Thanks.

Inka, so your top frame motor died after the recall replacement? This happened to me on the previous cab and the bastards, of course, refused to replace it again.

I did find the email of the german guy who I've discussed making the gears with. He was willing to do it, but I think that high Euro and shipping would not make feasible unless a bunch of gears need to be made. Talking to a local gear maker (Chris Walrod, perhaps can help?) might be an option.

I'll try to find the motor. Do you need the whole thing or just the gear?
