I'm hoping that this is normal, but I just don't know. I noticed today that my passenger window rolls up and down a little less than a half a second slower than the drivers side.

Is it like this on your car?

Me, obviously. They should be the same speed. I want to know if I'm the fluke.

You should upgrade those power windows and get the "turbo speed" ones...

Yeah, I put an underdrive pulley on the window motor. Come to think of it, that may be the problem.

if anything, i would say that it is due to the fact that the driver's side window is controlled by one switch and the passenger's side is controlled by two (the one on the driver's armrest and the passenger's armrest). How this would cause a 1/2 second change, i have no idea. But it is the only thing that i could think of that differentiates the two windows.

Thanks for the help guys.

As soon as I saw that, I was wondering if the tint shop messed something up with my motor, or the rubber surrounds.

By the way, I just did my first oil change. Mobil1 5W-30. The stuff looks like water. I had a hell of a time reading it on the dip stick. Feels pretty damn smooth. The one thing I noticed was that my dip stick is all crooked, and doesn't go in very easy. Is this normal as well?

About your oil dipstick... Just don't force it in, it only goes in a certain way, so be gentle.

BTW nice to see another SLC jetter onboard.

Are you gonna make the G2G in Vegas next weekend?
