I recently had the dealer fix my passenger side for the 3rd or fourth time. They do some kind of lube as a temp fix and then ordered another part (not sure but think it was rails) for long term fix.

It was a long time ago, but if I remember correctly, when I joined DF in mid 06 there was already a TSB out for the 05+ power windows being super slow and I'm pretty sure Dodge was replacing the regulators with a new style reg.

I replaced both of my window units, 55.00 for each assembly, super easy to do

Not sure why, but I just had a vision of a Tim Taylor (from Home Improvement) type mod for this ("more power!") http://www.robotmarketplace.com/prod...MS-PMG132.html
THAT ought to have enough torque to solve the issue! :P

I had a similar problem with a 2001 Nissan Xterra. Different truck obviously but the fix may be the same. Window was really slow and labored and then one day stopped. Lubed the track and new regulator and it was as good as new.

Haha, I was thinking something similar.



When I bought my truck, both sides actually had the rails "loose" inside, so the windows would actually swing and hit the inside of the door shell when I shut the door with them rolled down. So they were replaced and lubed then... brand new slides and fresh lube.

A year later, the passenger side is slower than a snail turd.
