    ok its been a while since I did update this, about a month ago I got some new tires on the truck 245/75/r17 and now I am leaning towards a cat back exhaust system. looking for something that would have a nice rumble to it at highway speeds but not to loud inside the cab. I have found some, but the shipping and handling rates for here are outrageous

    Ok, so I replaced the IWE solenoid in the truck and yes I did out a little dielectric grease on the connectors. Went to go test it out and turns out that is not the problem. The front hubs are basically shot, metal on metal grinding. When I was testing it out on ice, I did roll down the window and did some donuts and when I turned the wheels that's when I heard the metal grinding noise. [​IMG]

    Now my passenger window is not rolling up. Switch on the driver side doesn't work at all. But when I go to the passenger side it rolls down but not up. So either I got a bad motor, regulator or the switches are bad. Going to mess around with it when I get home and see what I can do to get the window rolled up before it rains.
