Thanks for the list. Haven't run across the window ECU mentioned anywhere yet. And haven't actually tried anything to see behavior yet as it's been 110F since I got a replacement battery. But I was thinking it was most likely a regulator issue as they see pretty common. Any chance you have a link to a thread that talks about this?
I do have an OBD reader and shockingly, it came back completely clean.
Another round of pics is pending mod approval.
Any consensus on cleaning the engine compartment? I have a pressure washer and of course a hose. There's pretty good oil spray and I'd prefer to be working on a cleaner engine. Gunk and hose it off?

The ABS light is probably a sensor.
The window is probably a bad solder on the window ECU (behind the glove box).
Dump the brush guard. All they do is multiply damage.
Drain every fluid and re-fresh.
Vacuum all that debris out.
That engine bay looks pretty good apart from the leaves.
Get an OBDII dongle and an app for your phone to monitor sensor values, temp, etc, and to clear codes (but not brake codes). It is the best $20-50 you'll spend on the truck and save your hours of time.

Window could be a blown or disconnected motor, messed up rollers on the regulator, broken regulator, bad switch, or window ECU. Switch is easiest to access. If that checks out pull the door panel and go from there.
Here is a video concerning the window ECU. (yes, a one-armed man can do it)

Thanks for that link. That dude is an inspiration. Once I roll back into town and get caught up, I'll throw the new battery in and see what I'm dealing with. Since I was told it's only the driver's window, I'm guessing it'll be a regulator but who knows. Thanks again for the link.

Just the other day I rolled down the drivers window just a bit and it went all the way open, and wouldn't close.driving to work , in the rain, and colder temps was a bit of a chore. I waited a few hours for everything to cool off and it closed with no problem. Other windows worked fine. If it ever stops raining and gets above 40 degrees, I'll change the window ECU as I suspect a cracked solder joint. I have a spare unit just for these problems.

Regardless, it's running great and I'll probably just let it chew through a half tank of the old gas and fill it again. I threw in new copper plugs and STI wires to replace what I think were the originals. Thermostat, then oil and coolant are next. Oh and the Anti Lock Brake light. I've vacuumed or blown out most of the non-oil debris in the engine compartment, so it's starting to look like it should in that regard.
Anyway, the post with the pics that finally got approved is up above
