Many ford window motors have replaceable plastic gearsets. These are sacrificial and consist of a plastic gear and 3 plastic rollers. Remove the cover over the gear and pull it out, clean it well. Replace with the new parts and grease and reassemble. The kit is a Dorman part and runs about $20

Thanks a bunch, pulled the motor and figured out the window was stuck. I just had to loosen the window in the track, reinstall the motor and all is well with the world. No money spent, YAY.
