Well, when I bought the motor for the driver's door of my Bronco I also got this one for my passenger's door or tailgate, whichever failed first. It ended up being the Tailgate. Installing it was a pain because the tailgate can be hard to work on if you don't remove the glass (I wasn't home and had nowhere to place the glass), and I actually had to cut part of the nylon webbing on the head of the motor in order to make it fit, which I might or not have avoided if I flipped it. Only 2 out of the 3 bolts lined up, the 3rd one would require some drilling, but it's doable. I added some pictures of the cuts as a guide for any other Bronco owners, so far it's been 7 months and I haven't had any problems with this. I also had to splice and join the connector for a cleaner install. After all was said and done I once again have a working tailgate glass, but this motor is a little smaller and less powerful than the OEM part, just don't fool too much with it and it will last, of course, since you already got in there, take the time to lube all the moving parts of the mechanism, and the rubber in the weather stripping. These little motors are durable, the one in my driver side door (see my review here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2V2SM3LBGXKLS/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000C11JSE ) already has almost 5 years in there and works great.As already stated, this one will work on some Fords or in my case, in my Bronco's passenger door or tailgate (with some mods), the one for your driver side window is this one:

I'm using this for my 1995 Ford Bronco. When I did the search I didn't notice that Amazon recommends both 742-250 and 742-251 for the drivers side window.I spent to hot days trying to make it work, with my arm shoved into a small opening in the door up to the elbow. A very frustrating situation. Then I set the new motor down next to the old. That's when I realized I had the passenger side motor (they are different). I went back did the search again and found the 742-251 and ordered it. In both case they got the motor to me one day. So I can't fault them on that. And needless to say the new motor went in, in about ten minutes. Crazy, but very happy, eventually. I called Amazon customer service, not about the return, that's easy with Amazon. I called them to alert them about the situation with the part numbers and their search algorithms. They say they'll do something about it... BUT, be careful. And if your part doesn't seem to fit. Recheck your search. The first time I was sure I'd gotten it right only to find I had bad info.The motor itself works very well now that it's installed. Quiet and smooth. They include new wiring. I assume that's incase you damage a connector getting the old motor out.I would buy again. But I'd be more careful. And if things seemed wrong I'd check sooner. Good Luck!

All fit 1996 Tbird 4.6L. The only issue was the left side is sold as the right side and vice versa. Look at the picture of the housing and see the LT molded in the gear side is actually the right side. Installed both same day, so I was able to swap the sides as needed to fit, All fitment was spot on with no issues, and greased the pinon on the gear and that was a little fiddly to get in to pilot hole to allow the mounting face to seat flush. Then install the mounting screws. This was much easier than what the manual was showing and no need drilling the access holes in the door shell to remove the mounting screws.They work great and much faster. Besure to silicone the window track felts and lube the steel track with lithium grease. This was a good fix, and past due thinking it was a tough job, but not at all. also,these door panels lift up to remove them.

This did not last six months and it stopped working. I tried to return it, but it was past the Amazon return Time frame. I contacted the manufacturer to return it to them and they would not accept the return and warranty it. They said I would have to go through Amazon. The manufacturer warranty was one year, but nobody would help me. I would never buy this again.

Plug and play in a bronco. My original motor stop working because the inside turned into mush. I could have fixed it but I decided it was easier to try this one as it was cheap. This is the same motor sold by Bronco Graveyard and other suppliers.Positives- strongJust 2 negatives- the screws are threaded into plastic housing so before you install the motor, go ahead and thread it once while outside to cut the threads- the wire could have been just 1 inch longer. It was barely enough. I did not have to cut or splice anything though so thats a plus.

It works, was relatively easy to install. Don't care for the replacement screws just having to be borred into plactic. Would have rather had nice thread's in metal like the original. Plastic break's or strips out eventually. But good enough if you want to roll down your window for a year or 2. Bought before one burned out after about a year and a half. Another one came loose from the plactic threads. But if you're not keeping your car forever or don't mind replacing them after a while they do the job.

No fue nada complicado la instalacion solo el mismo comentario de que no empata 100% en los 3 orificios solo quedan 2 pero se sotiene muy bien y en cuanto al funcionamiento no he tenido ningun problema. el equipo funciona muy bien.

One fastener hole didn’t line up on each door motor. Was still able to force it together although it isn’t a perfect fit. Otherwise very happy with the performance!

After some diagnosis I deduced that I needed to replace my motor. I chose this one as it was cheap for being a Dorman. Install was straight forward and took me about an hour and I didn't even have to remove the regulator. Rolls up the window at a scary fast speed, and is rather quiet while doing it. I'm not kidding about this thing being fast, I've had people jump because of how fast it rolls the window up. Would highly recommend.

Hasta ahorita está funcionando perfectamente. Se instaló fácilmente en 94 Ford Explorer.Le doy 4 estrellas. Espero me dure un buen tiempo, entonces le podría dar otra más.
