So you could be the next victim. I think there are like 500 of these fires a day all across America...

The only real harm from leaving the engine running while fueling up is that the fuel gauge may not respond properly for a few miles.
Back to the window thing, yeah, the regulator's broke. There ain't nothing to replacing it, fortunately everything bolts in so you won't have to drill out any rivets like on the older trucks. My driver's side did it about a year ago in 17 degree weather, pissed me off.

I'm sure glad I got my truck and you got yours. Of coruse, it probably wouldn't have happened if you would just paint the spokes black!

Well, I can't certainly say you've lost your memory with age.

My driver side window went down for the count this past weekend. I'd heard it 'scraping' a bit in the past few months. You can tell it just didn't sound right. Anyway, I didn't have time to sit around and wait to have a part delivered from an online source. I figured I'd take my lumps and just have the dealership do the job for about $200. Wrong ... $321!!!

No problems with the fuel level after a fill up for me.
The key ON fueling mode (approximately 90 seconds to read empty [E] to full [F]) requires 3 conditions be met:
The transmission is in PARK (P) (automatic transmissions), or the parking brake is applied (manual transmissions).
The key is in the RUN position.
At least 15% of the vehicle's fuel capacity must be added to the fuel tank.
In key ON fueling mode, a 30-second timer activates after the transmission is put into the PARK (P) position or when the parking brake is applied. When the 30 second time has elapsed and at least 15% of the vehicle's fuel capacity has been added, the fuel gauge response time is 90 seconds to read from empty (E) to full (F). When the transmission is shifted out of PARK (P) or the parking brake is released, the fuel gauge strategy reverts to the anti-slosh mode. This mode prevents slow to read full events from happening if the customer refuels the vehicle with the key in the RUN position.
