Slide out motor

Slide out motors Power Gear housing cracked needs replacing. What's the difference between these they all look the same except for the price.
  • I found a spec sheet online for the slide motors
    The boot on these represent torque rating black and or white being highest torque. Gray (low torque) for small slides. According to these specs they pull more amps than others 90% of these have the same gear ratio. It also gives u options.

    Helpful hints to identify the Slide Out Motor Assembly:
    Rev: Apr-11
    1. The Boot (Not sold separately) covers the brake assembly. Boots have different
    colors such as red, white, black, orange and gray. Usually the boot color
    indicates the torque rating of the motor assembly. Gray (low torque), Black (high
    torque to ultra torque) and White (ultra torque). This is a visual help when
    identifying a motor assembly and does not guarantee the torque rating.
    2. The Brake Lever (Not sold separately) is under the boot on the end of the
    motor assembly and is proprietary to Power Gear only. This should be in the
    engaged position (see label on motor housing) when operating the motor
    assembly.
    3. The Motor Housing (Not sold separately) holds the labels for identification of
    the brake lever (engaged or released) and the Power Gear part number label
    (p/n= part number) and the base motor label located on the opposite side of the
    Power Gear part number label. The circumference of the housing can vary from
    diameters such as 2 ½” to 3” and larger; however the larger diameter does not
    indicate higher torque.
