[QUOTE="Geo2, post: 161467, member: 4572"] Dug, it depends on the brand name (quality of manufacturing). It seems that some older makes are better at handling loads so they won't warm/get hot real quick, not like the new low quality builds. Some people suggest drilling holes around the magnetic area to help dissipate the heat. Don't know but unless you cover the motor real well you're asking for dirt getting inside and this is not good. Also I got two wiper motors one is of an old truck the other from a new car, the older but slower motor handled load and didn't warm up quick. The newer one got hot very quickly even without any load on it :o Could be a manufacturing fault :( [/QUOTE]
