HI all. My newest challenge with my truck is the drivers window won't roll up. The crank moves when rolling down the window, but it won't budge when I want to roll up the window. I have taken off the door panel, and to me it looks like the window is on the track. What should I look for here?

Does it crank up? I mean the regulator handle. Does it move or is it jammed. Can you crank down any at all now?

Try and take the rear track bolts off. There are 2. See if it is jammed in the rear window track.

one is in the door jam and the other is in the door under the door panel to the bottom rear. 7/16" headed hex bolts. 1/4" sem bolts.

No that is the regulator. I am talking the rear track that the run channel weather stripping rides in.

Then most likely your regulator is shot. My drivers side window on my first M1009 did that. Cold front just blew in, 60 miles from home and no jacket. I went through a fast food place and it went down just fine. Just not back up.
New regulator from LMC, a few cut knuckles and all was well again. Since pulling the glass out makes this job easier. I would suggest getting new glass wiper felts and window track felt. If yours are worn that is.

On the same note. Oil and grease can do wonders on a window regulator. I have had them locked up and was able to revive many of them with a little motor oil and some chassis grease in the sash channels. Worth a try.

The driver's side window on my '71 GMC did the same all the time. Slide down nice but a bear to roll up. I drilled a hole in the hand crank mechanism so a couple times a year I could douse the inside with lithium grease through the little red tube.

Grease will make it happy
Had two that were a bear to roll up.
Took apart and it looked like it hadn't seen grease in decades.
Cleaned and greased and still working like new.
