YOU KINDA HAVE THROWED A LOT OUT THERE!

I'LL TRY TO HELP YOU WITH WHAT I CAN, IF NO ONE ELSE JUMPS IN TO AID WITH THE REST, YOU CAN ALWAYS RE-POST YOUR QUESTION WITH WHAT REMAINS

1) OIL LEAK--MOST LIKELY VALVE COVER---YOU CAN SPRAY THE ENGINE WITH "PURPLE POWER" LET IT SIT 5 MINUTES THEN RINSE IT OFF GOOD, TRY NOT TO GET IT ON YOUR PAINT---I ALWAYS RINSE MY EXTERIOR BODY WELL, WHEN I CLEAN MY ENGINE

THIS MIGHT AID IN FINDING THE EXACT ORIGIN OF THE LEAK

DIY????????????????---ONE OF THESE???

THIS IS HOW I STARTED---AND STILL SWEAR BY IT---THEY DON'T LET YOU FORGET NUTHIN'

2) TAPPING? SINCE YOU SAID THIS DOES NOT CHANGE SPEED WITH ENGINE RPM SPEED, IT'S HARD TO SAY ('SPECIALLY SINCE I DON'T KNOW SPECIFICS OF YOUR TRUCK..IMMA JEEP CJ GUY FOR THE MOST PART)

MAYBE YOU CAN PIN-DOWN THE LOCATION OF THE SOUND, YOU CAN SOMETIMES HEAR STUFF BETTER WITH A 3-4 FOOT LONG PIECE HEATER HOSE/ GARDEN HOSE CRAMMED IN YOU EAR, THE OTHER END USED LIKE A STETHOSCOPE.......IF YOU WERE WRONG ABOUT THE SPEED OF THE TAPPING WITH RPM CHANGES, LET ME KNOW...MIGHT GIVE YOU OTHER INFO COULD HELP

3) POPPING AND CLICKING---TOUGH ONE TOO. HOWEVER YOU DID CONTINUE WITH THE WHEEL LEANING, THIS COULD ALL BE RELATED. THIS MAY BE A SUSPENSION OR STEERING PROBLEM. THIS IS NOTHING TO "PLAY AROUND W1TH"! THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS, AND A 1ST TIME DIYer IS NOT THE ANSWER TO GET IT REPAIRED!!!

THIS MAY BE BAD BALL JOINTS, BENT OR BROKEN STUFF, OR LIKE YOU SAID "BEARINGS".....A VERY REPUTABLE ALIGNMENT SHOP WILL PROBABLY DIAGNOSE/ FIND YOUR PROBLEMS AND GIVE YOU AN ESTIMATE FOR FREE (CALL AROUND TO SEVERAL TIRE STORES AND SEE IF "A NAME" COMES UP FOR BEING VERY REPUTABLE) I, MYSELF, DON'T "CHEAP OUT" WHEN IT COMES TO THIS SUPER IMPORTANT VEHICLE MAINTENANCE. I'VE SEEN TOO MANY "INEXPERIENCED" OR "KIDS" SCREW UP ON PROPER ALIGNING, I HAVE A GOOD PLACE HERE THAT DOES BIG TRUCK MAINLY, THEY REALLY KNOW THEIR GEOMETRY

DO....DIY ALL YOU CAN, AS YOU GET BETTER, YOU WILL SAVE MORE.

THE MANUALS ARE MY #1 GUIDE..."HOW TO" ON "YOU TUBE" SOMETIMES GIVES ME A "PEEK" OF THE PROCEDURES.....I ALWAYS ABIDE BY THE BOOK FOR STEPS, CAUTIONS, TORQUE SPECS, ETC

WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR FINDINGS, YOU CAN POST PICS FOR US

YOUR TURN

IF YOU BUY ANYTHING.....ONLINE PROMO CODE (ONE THAT WILL BENEFIT YOU) PAY ONLINE, PICK UP AT THE STORE (NO SHIPPING)

IT MAY BE THERE (YOU CAN CALL AND VERIFY THAT YOUR GOODIES ARE IN STOCK) OR JUST WAIT TILL IT GETS ORDERED IN THERE (MAYBE A DAY OR TWO, CALLING THEM WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED)

MAKE YOUR PROMO COUNT!....BUY THE "AIR FRESHENER", ETC; TO PUT YOU "OVER THE TOP" (FOR INSTANCE, YOU HAVE $198 IN THE CART, THE "OVER $200 PROMO WILL SAVE YOU MORE MONEY THAN THE OVER $100 PROMO) TO MAKE THE PROMO WORK BETTER....IF NEED BE

DIS POST SORT SHOWS THE PROCESS

ANOTHER JEEP PAL OF MINE NEEDED 2 BATTERIES FOR HIS DIESEL TRUCK ..........JUST THIS MORNING!

HE IS SKEPTICAL OF "DEALS"....NOT NO MORE!

THE BEST PROMO FOR ADVANCE AUTO EXPIRES LATER TODAY---WE GOT HIM 2 BATTERIES NORMALLY COSTING ABOUT $265 (BEFORE TAXES). WE (HE) BOUGHT THEM ONLINE, THEN PICKED 'EM UP WITHIN THE HOUR. THEY INSTALLED 'EM TOO (SHUT YOUR MOUTH!)....HE GOT HIS CORE CHARGES BACK (INCLUDED IN THE PURCHASE), AND THEN WE LEFT.......HIS ENDING TOTAL WAS $190 SOME-ODD $$$ (20% SAVINGS OVERALL) AND HE WILL GET A $50 OFF COUPON IN HIS EMAIL FOR ANY PURCHASE OVER $100 HE BUYS ONLINE........$50 IS $50 !!! YOU WILL NEED MORE AUTO PARTS STUFF, OR YOU COULD STOCK UP ON OIL (OR WHATEVER) FOR ALL OF YOUR VEHICLES...IF NOTHING ELSE, BEFORE THE COUPON EXPIRES.

SO IN ESSENCE YOU CAN BUY $101 WORTH OF STUFF FOR $51 (AND IN MOST CASES, THIS STUFF DON'T "SPOIL")

WHAT A DEAL ! ! !

XPROMO (THIS HELPS ME FIND THIS AGAIN TO LINK IT TO SOMEONE ELSE)

PASS THIS ONLINE BUYING AND STORE PICK UP INFO ON TO ALL....IT WORKS AT OTHER PLACES TOO, NOT JUST AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE
