GRUVENPARTS.COM STRENGTHENED SPUR GEAR + HI TORQUE MOTORS FOR 2007-2014 GM TRUCKS FOLDING MIRROR ASSEMBLY – NEW OPTIONS - Click Here for the Product Page !
REBUILT COMPLETE DRIVE UNITS ALSO AVAILABLE WITH STRENGTHENED GEAR + HI-TORQUE MOTORS - Click Here for the Product Page !
See the DIY Link the Website Product Page!
This product carries a LIFETIME WARRANTY!
New Product Options Are Now Available
Buy loose gears/motors in quantity of 1 for 1 mirror or 2 for both mirrors. Requires epoxy of loose gear onto main shaft in your unit.
Buy gears pre-mounted to a new main spiral shafts and motor in quantity 1 for 1 mirror or 2 for 2 mirrors
Buy a rebuilt complete motor drive unit with new hi-torque motor and brass gear pre-installed and tested.
GruvenParts.com is pleased to announce replacement strengthened BRASS spur gears and high torque motors for the power folding mirrors on 2007-2014 GM trucks including Acadia, Traverse, Enclave, Escalade, Silverado, Avalanche, Tahoe, Suburban, Sierra, Yukon, and Denali. Also fits 2007-Present GMC pick-up trucks. As many have discovered, the folding mirror assembly on these trucks suffers from a thin, weak, plastic spur gear mounted to the main drive shaft. The plastic spur gear cracks at the slightest impact or just wears out over time causing an inoperable folding mirror. The GM motors also get weak and die quickly. Unfortunately, GM will only sell you a complete folding mirror assembly, which will cost you from $700-$1,200 ea after labor and paint, depending on the year/make/model. And that $ would be wasted on another mirror assembly with another weak, plastic spur gear and weak electric motor that will also soon fail. Don't waste time or hard earned money on more GM parts that will also soon fail!
GruvenParts.com has addressed this issue by designing a strengthened spur gear made from solid GEAR BRASS with a thicker cross section to eliminate the stress concentrations which cause fatigue cracking in the GM plastic gear. We have also designed a replacement high torque electric motor to accompany this new metal gear. Our new electric motor is required when switching out to the metal gear, as the ground circuit in the OEM motor does not allow for a metal gear to be installed. You can buy the gear/motor combo for one of both sides, and with the spur gear pre-attached to a new main shaft, or loose. Loose gear orders require installation of the spur gear onto the main shaft using 24 hour epoxy - please refer to the DIY article link above. We have thoroughly tested our redesigned spur gear and high torque motor using a new, OEM mirror assembly and computerized test equipment. Our test samples barely showed any wear whatsoever, and the testing did include random wacks against the mirror, jamming the mirror operation as it was folding, and manually stressing the mechanism all in an attempt the break the gear. Each sample was tested more than 5,000 open/close cycles and was still going strong at that point !
This product carries a LIFETIME WARRANTY! Provided you don't burn the vehicle, or otherwise smash the mirror into something, you can send back the motor drive unit to us and we'll replace the gear assembly and get it working again free of charge. You would only be responsible for shipping under this warranty.

GRUVENPARTS.COM BRASS POWER SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT GEARS FOR 2007-2014 GM TRUCKS - Click Here for the Product Page !
*** SOLD IN SETS OF 2 GEARS - ENOUGH TO FIX 1 HEIGHT DRIVE UNIT ***
GruvenParts.com is PROUD to release this LIFETIME WARRANTIED SOLID BRASS GEAR SET for GM truck power seat height adjustment mechanisms ! This set includes 1 helical cut solid brass main gear AND a solid brass mating worm drive gear. These gears exactly match the GM plastic versions but are many times stronger so they will not chip, strip, or break. This is a GREAT WAY to save money AND make your GM truck power height adjustment mechanism BULLETPROOF! We all know that GM will not sell these gears - instead, they make you buy an entire new power seat unit (with more plastic gears that will also soon break or strip). Dont waste money on more plastic gears, or incomplete gear sets. The GruvenParts.com gear set includes EVERYTHING that wears out and replaces them with SOLID BRASS GEARS - LIFETIME WARRANTIED !
The larger helical cut spur gear easily attaches to the main shaft via 24 hour cure epoxy, such as 24 hour JB weld. You can quickly and easily remove the remnants of the GM plastic gear using a small dremel tool then just clean the underlying shaft before application of epoxy.
This product is sold as a set of 2 gears - (1) Spur Gear and (1) Worm gear. This is enough to fix ONE (1) power height adjustment mechanism. Please note there are TWO (2) power height adjusters on each seat - one for the seat front and 1 for the seat back. This does not fix the power forward / aft or seat recline features.
This product fits all 2007-2014 GM Trucks with Power Seats, Including Escalade, Silverado, Avalanche, Tahoe, Suburban, Sierra, Yukon, and Denali and likely many others. The GM part numbers for the seat tracks which these gears fit into are : 22-80-44-17 (228044170, 22-80-44-18 (22804418), 22-80-44-19 (22804419), 22-80-44-20 (22804420), 20-77-91-09 (20779109), 20-77-91-10 (20779110) as well as many others. This part number list is by no means all inclusive, and will continually grow !
Also fits these Fiat Chrysler Vehicles :
1996 – 2004 Jeep Cherokee / Grand Cherokee P/N 8-81902, 5709440, 8-82494, 5709790, 8-82496, 5709820
1995 - 1997 Dodge Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks
2002 - 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks
2002 - 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 trucks
** Installation Instructions **
1. Access bottom of seat structure. This is easiest by removing power seat entirely from vehicle. Remove power seat bracket from bottom of seat bottom.
2. Remove the flexible drive shaft for the height adjustment drive box. You can pull the drive box away from the drive shaft slightly to gain the needed clearance. The flex drive shaft will fall out. Please be sure to mark the drive shafts if you are replacing both height gear sets as the drive shafts are different lengths.
3. Remove the Four (4) 1/4"" screws holding each height adjustment drive box together. Remove and discard the plastic worm gear. Position the main spiral shaft with over-molded plastic spur gear such that the plastic spur gear can be cut off using a dremel wheel or similar.
4. Cut across the width of the plastic spur gear. Its OK to cut slightly into the underlying steel shaft. Wear eye protection ! Remove the old plastic spur gear and clean off the underlying steel shaft.
5. Using a 24 hour epoxy such as JB Weld, thoroughly coat the steel underlying shaft. Slowly thread on the new brass spur gear, wiping away any excess JB weld. Once the JB weld dries, it is extremely hard to remove so clean any excess epoxy. Position the new brass gear such that the metallic washer recess is facing the spirals, just like the OEM layout. There should be about .050"" of main shaft exposed (not including shaft ball end) once new brass gear is installed. You can also look at the OTHER height mechanism and measure its gear placement.
6. Allow epoxy to fully cure per manufacturers instructions.
7 Reassembly is reverse of removal.
