I also found this write up to be helpful. May I add that it's MUCH easier to replace the whole motor/regulator assembly. Also, cheap aftermarket brands will not last, fyi.

Don't forget to clean the tracks while you have the door apart.

I found my receipt, I actually paid $197. That includes parts and labor plus a lifetime warranty on the window. I didn't want to take the chance of doing it myself,so I got a professional mechanic and that was the cheapest I could find it in my town.

I bought my hoe used and I never noticed it test driving but a few days into ownership, I kept noticing this sliding/grinding noise and a subtle pop at the start of rolling down the driver side front window....

Turned out the seller thought someone had stolen his "for sale sign" days prior to me buying truck, but it actually somehow slid down into the window! Took door panel off to investigate and discovered this to my surprise.
