Definitely going to be following this build. I just picked up a 2004 GMC 2500 LB7, and it needs some a bit of TLC, but it is still in a lot better condition than most of the other midwestern trucks of the same year.

Dude I don't want to be that guy but the grille an hood have nothing to do with whether it's first Gen or not. Your truck has an HD grille with a normal 1500 style hood. If you want integrity. Get an HD hood for your HD truck. Tell us you know nothing about the cateye without actually telling us 😂

A weird thing about electric windows may not involve the electric shits. The window is able to feel an obstacle and reverse direction. The dog was barking out the window and I closed it from my side. The window touched the dog and reversed. Perhaps the window is rubbing on the track. Or the track may be bent. If the tint interferes with the channel the window will be too wide and the motor will be trying to reverse itself and go up too causing the window motor to stall
