1.)Well first off I know that there IS supposed to be a click from under the dash when you push the window button. When I replaced the bushings in my motor I heard this clicking too. you said "Yea it makes noise. and goes up and down about 1 inch maybe" So again i believe its those bushings. Both of my front window bushings went out within two weeks of each-other; both were original bushings im sure.
2.) Glad you didn't lose your finger
3.)Its alright. slow down and take a breath. We've all had days like these where you plan to get so much done and end up getting nothing done because problems arose. Go down to the store and buy yourself the proper socket. It'll be a few bucks but imagine the relief when you get those UCAs off!
Go look up some threads on how to remove the UCAs. I'm sure it will have socket sizes and any tips/ricks you might find helpful.
4.) As far as the separate rocker switch, I dont think its necessary. Use the switch thats made for it; thats why its there!
If the problem really isnt the bushings, and you hear the clicking front the dash then you know the switch isnt the problem. I dont see why you would replace it then!
5.) Get the alignment when everything is done. I know its some money but in the long run its worth it. I got one when i replaced my tires and did a tt, even though I didnt wanna pay for one haha
Keep your head up man, its not the truck's fault! Don't hate it
Keep us updated on how it all went
