The gear teeth will strip out also, especially on cheapo replacements... but you should hear it turning if that is it. Make sure and get steel gears if replacing. Remove the vent at end of door and look inside with a flashlight.

Does it work intermittently or not at all?

For some reason on my 1999 K1500 Suburban the front driver window doesn't work if it is rolled all the way up and it is hot.
If it is roll it down even the smallest amount or I let it cool off, it works again, no idea why.

My 03 Blazer is exactly the same, both sides. I know mine is because of weak regulator motors. I disabled my auto-down feature because of it, had to take apart the motor in order to get the window to go back up after it stuck itself at the bottom of its travel on a particularly hot day.
