Drivers side power window will not roll up on my f150. Every vehicle I have owned with power windows has had problems

didn't exactly break as much as 'I' destroyed it.

cheap chinese -10 Fitting stuck in my oil cooler... shit was made of fuckin zinc or something...

was trying to put in a -6 reducer to hopefully match the hose and keep flow stable.

Bad strut could possibly feel like that as well, hitting a bump without proper damping afterward.
You were right. I just replaced the ball joints a few months back and I just now got around to doing a proper alignment (was right before, but the steering wheel was WAAAYYY off.) It actually helped the problem a shit ton, the toe on both sides (with the steering wheel held straight) was off by almost an inch on each side. I do need to replace all the shocks and I think while I'm going through the trouble I'm just going to upgrade to coilovers, and take the entire front end apart and replace every bushing. It all does have 308k miles on it, lmao.

Luckily I don't have to rush anything. My truck runs good so I can spread out my spending, car needs tires hella bad too so I'll just accumulate everything and do it all at once.

Truck has now started losing oil pressure randomly while driving despite the fact that it doesn't leak or burn any, and is full.

Hopefully I can get this new truck on Monday, park this ranger, fix a few things then sell it

Drove the Integra to work in order to get the alignment done.

Leave to get alignment, ignition coil goes out. AAA membership always useful with a spare "fun/PITA" car.
