Is that the one advance offers? I bought one for my wife's grand Cherokee and it died after 2 years. It had a 3 year warranty though. So we got a new one for free. Just save your receipt. I've had one in my XJ for about a year and I have had 0 issues.

Yes that is the same one. It is past the warranty by about 4 months. I will say it never gave me any issue whatsoever, but I do need something a bit better since I am starting to add lights and such.

I meant this one. What is the context...

I went back to where i asked oliver about the condition of the motor, but i didnt say it as "whats wrong with it"

So it must be something older than my current issue.
