The only way is to look at it. What they are asking you is whether or not the window motor has ever been replaced or not. If you've owned the car since new or at least pretty new and you've never replaced the window motors then they are OE. The way to tell by looking at them is if they are riveted in, then they are OE. At the factory the used rivets to save time on assembly rather than using bolts. Obviously then if the window motor is bolted in then it is not OE.
i bought my window motor from advance auto, they give a year warranty. take the old motor with you for core charge
A Dodge Durango window motor can be ordered from any auto parts store. The prices for the window motors will vary depending on the year of the Durango.

The motor is mounted with rivets, you must drill out the rivets. The bolt must be short enough so that the window arms will not touch, this will cause the window to not go up or down all the way.

The window motor is attached to the window regulator by screws. After removing the door trim you must detach the regulator from the door by drilling-out four rivits. Then remove the screws from the old motor and install the new motor. Re-attach the regulator with bolts and put the trim back on the door.
The motors were installed with rivets at the factory. You need to use a drill and drill out the rivets to remove the motor. The replacement motors come with screws and bolts to replace the rivets.
