What drives me crazy is when I hear noises like that and don't know if it's silverware or the differential about to come apart! Maddening!

Agree completely. If one has a deep interest in electrical/electronics it's probably fun wiring all this stuff up, but if not it just seems like never-ending "more" with "more". Like you, I'd like...

One additional observation.. always use chocks. It looks like the OP's driveway is on a slope, which is typical. The vehicle will want to move if it's on a slope. Chocks are critically important!

Ford offered a leather wheel. I've looked for one for a long time. They are nice when in good condition. Problem I've found is.. very difficult to locate in good condition, prices are too high.

Mine did that. Turned out to be classic clutch pack wear - very common. If you are on the road, it's normally just an annoyance and not a critical show stopper. I waited until I got home to fix...

It depends on how the top was made and installed. My 2001 van with 130,000 miles has a high top and it's still solid as a rock. It's completely leak-free, keeps things warm, quiet, and dry. ...

I have found that "flooding" a drying sealant on, such as silicone or caulk, hoping it stops a leak usually doesn't work well or lasts long.

Once you find the source, recommend a non-drying,...

T-moldings are usually just pressed into a groove machined into the edge of the panel - normally no glue is used. So one should be able to just pull it out. If mine, I'd do that and saturate the...
