GRUVENPARTS.COM STRENGTHENED BRASS REAR POWER LIFT GATE GEARS FOR 2006 + GM TRUCKS - Click Here for the Product Page !
** Product Description **
GruvenParts.com is pleased to announce this replacement strengthened BRASS helical spur gear to replace the problematic plastic spur gear found in the rear lift gate actuators on 2006-Present GM trucks including Acadia, Traverse, Enclave, Escalade, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Denali and other GM trucks with a power operating rear lift gate.
As many have discovered, the rear hatch power lift gate in these SUV's utilizes a mechanism which contains a large plastic spur gear that easily strips out, rendering the electric rear lift gate inoperable. When this problem occurs, you need to dismantle the interior panel of the rear lift gate to access the power lift gate actuator, a very time consuming process. Of course the replacement GM lift gate actuator will also come with a cheap, plastic spur gear which will soon strip out and fail, and the whole process repeats.
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 helical spur gear made from solid gear BRASS which is suited to handle the stresses involved in operating the power lift gate mechanism. Once the power lift gate actuator is removed from the vehicle, it’s a simple process to open the top case and remove / replace the discrepant plastic spur gear with the GruvenParts.com high strength brass gear.
This product carries a LIFETIME WARRANTY! Provided you don't burn the vehicle, or otherwise smash the lift gate actuator, we will cover this part FOR LIFE. You would only be responsible for shipping under this warranty.
** Installation Instructions **
Please visit the YouTube link provided on the product page of the GruvenParts.com website by clicking on the link above for instructions on how to remove the actuator from the vehicle without a working power rear lift gate actuator and replace the problematic plastic spur gear.
** Application **

Lift comes down a bit then back all the way open
It's pretty simple. Remove the screw under the leather handle pull and the one on the handle on the bottom of the door. Then you need to pry off the upper trim panel at the sides. No need to take it all off, just enough to get to the lower panel off. It's easiest to start on the sides and work your way down and around. Again I didn't take it all the way off, just enough to get to the 3 screws holding the latch in place.
I just replaced mine recently, however, mine will still not open by itself and when trying to close it automatically, it will only go about a 1/3 of the way. Anyone else have this issue?
