Which window rolls up/ down faster?

Ok, I'm bored and want to see what yalls reviews are. My driver's side power window is faster going up and going down than my passenger's side. Its only faster by 1/2 a second or so. I just want to see if its my truck or other ctd's. It doesn't matter, just curious and bored.

To make the race fair you must roll them down to the bottom completely.

Then...

Turn you key off...

Then press both buttons up on the drivers side...

Then...

Turn you key on...While holding the buttons in the up position...

Happy racing!

That is too funny!!!! so I had to check mine. My left window et is 3.5 down and 4.0 up, My right window et is 3.0 down and 3.5 up. If it weren't so late I would put some silicone on the tracks and recheck the et's.

Drivers side is faster. Probably due to the fact that the power for the drivers side has less distance to travel

Hmm.....how to bomb power windows? How about running 24 volts to the window motors? Or replacing the original motors with starter motors?
