I'm having this same problem. its a sp3010-30, I've done pretty much everything you said. there are two bearings in the drive unit for the drive motor, the one on the bottom of the pinion shaft and the one in the middle of it. did you have any luck when you replaces the lower one before i drop this drive unit out of the truck?
please respond to this
