BILLYBOB????? IS THAT YOU CUZ?????
You rwindow sounds like mine was about 2 onths ago....you can get another window motor for it at an aftermarket web site fairly cheap....I had to replace the other side once I saw how fast the drivers side worked. the change out isnt too bad. can do both in 1 day easily.

thanks guys. billybob were probably related somewhere on the tree. how much did jcwhitney cost you? a dealer told me $136 just for the motor and not including labor and all that. also the for the passenger the that window works, but the driver has to lean over to work it. thats not fun. any tips?

The price actually is right along what I paid for the parts..but I installed myself. As for the passenger window working only from that door, I would check the outputs on your drivers door switch when you try to operate the passenger window.

i have a 1993 xlt. w/ 351 5.8L (is it safe to assume its a windsor?)
about 2 weeks ago i had a flowmaster put on w/ 3.5 inch tips. after that i put on a kandn filter. plan to put on headers and 2003 f250 rims (the star pattern) but i dont think they will fit. i like the foxbody too, had one before my truck. it was a four banger though. -william
