I ordered a new motor from Vanguard Mfg. I talked to a very helpful person in Customer Sevice by the name of Pam. She took my order and then sent me a page of advice and 14 PDF's on maintenance, installation and conversion to a two motor system. I'm impressed.
I'm tempted to go with the two motor setup. My toy hauler is nose heavy and it would help that puny single motor.
BTW I can unbolt the motor from the gearbox and it works perfectly. I talked to a few local RV shops and they all said the same thing as donn0128, bad motor. It is 7 years old so maybe it's time.
