Did you use an OEM regulator or an aftermarket?

I posted earlier about the same problem. I have an 04 Dak Quad cab 2wd. I have had 3 of the 4 window regulators go out. Started just after warranty expired then 9 month after that 1 would go for no apparent reason.Then 9 months after that another.
It's an expensive fix, about $400.00, part alone is about $280.00. I just wrote a letter to Dodge hopeing to get some answers, we will see what they say, if they reply. I live in Arizona where summer temps are very hot, I've had 1 service tech tell me that the heat could be the cause.
If you find anything out please post so I can read.

Buddy of mine has a 2001 Quad 4.7L and he's had to replace three of them. So far, mine have been ok.

Had to replace the driver side. It started slowing since I got it then it eventually just crapped out. I wrote it off as normal wear and tear.

I had the drivers side go out, but the cable actually broke something in there and came off the rollers. I bought an aftermarket regulater and it worked for about 3-4 months and it did the same thing. I called them back and they refunded everything except shipping. I ended up spending the big money and got an OEM regulator at employee price (25% less than what the dealer wanted) and installed it myself. Took me maybean hour to get the old one out and new one in. You'll need to cut a piece of wood to support the window. Believe this is the place I got mine, http://www.wholesalemopar.com/.
