Why won't my truck start? - 2

I have a 2004 ford f 150 and when I trun the key, all I get is clicking sounds. Even when I have it in accessory mode, the lights and radio doesn't really work. Everything has been working great since I bought it. Yesterday I had a new stereo, subs, and speakers installed all day. When I got the truck back, the guy said to keep it running for about 15 min because battery was weak from all the work on it. So I did, I think. But now I think the battery is dead and it won't start. What do I do?

How long should it take to change timing chain?

The truck is a 2003 ford 150. It has three timing chains. Took it in on a Monday. He said it will be done by Wensday. But no calls. And it is now Monday and I called no answer. Should I worry now?

Am I paying too much for car insurance? - 1

I know everything varies from person to person and depends on locations across the country but overall I was wondering if any experts out there think I'm getting a good deal or not. I'll provide some details but not my insurance company name as I don't want a biased answer from someone who say works for a certain company. Anyway it's a national insurance brand and here is the details.
I live in North Carolina. Me and my spouse are on the plan together. Total is 3 vehicles. 2014 Ford F150, 2010 Hyundai Elantra and 2006 Chevy Cobalt. The F-150 and Elantra have full coverage, as they are still being played on. The Cobalt is owned by us and paid not the bank and only has liability. We're paying approx average of $160 a month? Good deal? Or should I shop around more? I'm looking to reduce some monthly debt. I have been with this same company since I started driving at 16, it's what I hav e bc my parents had them when I started and I stayed there myself. I'm 26 now so I've been with them over 10 years now.

2000 Ford f150 Transmission Failure?

2000 F150 XL 4x4 4.6 v8 Auto

Not sure what Tranny model. We drove about an hour with no issues. Then it sat all day. When we went to take off seemed normal, no heavy clunk or issue, but at 10 mph when it went to shift to second it felt more like it shifted to park or reverse. It lurch and we stopped. We had to drive around the block slowly to get back to where we left from and it did it 3 more times. I think it was about 2000 or this time things started to go electronic. Any chance this could just be a bad sensor?

Added (1). We let it sit then went to take it to a mechanic and it didn't have an issue then it did again. This is what makes me think its more a switch or electronic issue.

Added (2). I checked that. Clean, no smell, appropriate level.

Is there any other vehicle I can get a steering column out of for my truck?

It's a 1988 ford f150 xlt lariat 2wd with the 5.0 engine and AOD and I know it has to have those 2 things but i'm not sure about the 2wd or if It can come out of a 4wd truck or not so that s one thing I need to know, and also are there any cars that I could get one out of? Seems that particular body style (87-91) F-150 is about as scarce as hen's teeth around here and I want to get a column to rebuild because just about every part in mine is worn out and can't catch up with my mechanic to ask him if other columns will work so I figured I'd ask you guys and see what I can come up with. I need to get one to rebuild because I can't afford all of the parts at once so I wanted to get them over the course of a couple months… Hope this makes sense. I've asked this question before but didn't get a straight answer so I need to know specific makes and models that will work Thanks in advance.
