[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3215190, member: 29706"] I have the drivers window in my truck that has had similar issues. I know that there is something causing it to catch and break the regulator. I was hoping to replace the plastic crap with steel but it has not been a high priority since I don't do drive through's and I don't like my window being down anyway. I have replaced only the regulator as well as the regulator and motor, same thing happens. Also taken a couple broken ones and rebuilt one while adding some extra support and that seemed to last the longest. For ventilation I open up both the front and back window on the passenger side and that will change out the air in the cab in a few seconds. But take the whole system apart and you will probably find something not lubed right or a piece of crud somewhere. To see if it could be the blades being too grabby lift them off and see how fast they go, then set them back down and spray a light mist on the window and see if they run a lot slower. Also if you are running larger than called for blades (I do because my truck calls for 19's but 21's clear a whole lot more and only one little spot hangs off on the passenger side when they are down due to the curve of the glass) you should plan to drop to the correct size as the larger the blade the more resistance. When you take apart the motor and find there is some little plastic gear that is breaking maybe a machine shop can make one out of steel or someone out there may have already came up with a fix just like it.
