Annoying squeaking in the front end?

It's an 02 ford ranger 4x4. Every time I hit a bump it squeaks like rubber on metal noise. I jacked it up and checked for front end play with a pry bar under wheel and checked side to side play. I replaced an outer tie rod end and the upper control arm bushings and the noise was gone… Or so I thought. After a heavy rain storm, it came back. I have checked and checked and the front end is tight. Ball joints, tie rods, control arm bushings, sway arm bushings, etc etc are all good. It handles great, but it is embarrasing to pull into a parking lot and people hear a bunch on squeaking when I get in and out of the truck or I hit little bumps. You can push down on the front end and it squeaks every time you push down. I'm lost on what it could be… Any ideas?

How to add an aux cord to a factory fm car radio?

I have a 2003 ford ranger that has an old factory radio that I d like to add an aux cord to. The radio only has fm and am stations no cd or cassette player. I do not want to go the route of a FM modulator. I have completely took the radio apart and my initial plan was to solder the left and right wires of the aux cord onto the fm or am outputs. My problem is there's no writing or indicators of what pin is what, it is a very old cheap board. What would be the best way to put in a aux cord to this radio?

When I start my truck my RPM's are very low (almost stalling) until I tap the gas?

I'll start the truck and the RPMs will sometimes automatically go to below 1 then start dying out. I have to tap the gas quick and the RPM's will jump to around 3 then it will start the idle process. The truck runs fine otherwise I'm just concerned it might cause future problems. Is my throttle just getting stuck or something?

Should my 2010 Ford Ranger cabin beep whenever I open the door?

I feel like the cabin dinging is supposed to be a reminder that you have left the headlights on, the key in the ignition, or the in cabin lights on, but I have done none of these things. Yet the truck cabin beeps whenever the door is open. I fear the battery will drain, but if someone can co firm this is just a "door ajar" beeping I would be most grateful.

On a 2000 ford ranger, will driving it without a catalytic converter cause valve issues?

My ford ranger has had the cat removed (not by me!) and it is causing an O2 sensor code, of course, and an overly rich exhaust and poor fuel milage. Now, I know it needs fixed and I will when I get the time to get it to a muffler shop, but my question is, will driving it for a little while right now cause any valve trouble or any damage elsewhere?

Can Fire department charge you for their service?

My Ford Ranger caught fire when I was driving on I-5 in Oregon and got destroyed. It took 40 mins for the Fire Department to show up. By then, everything was burned down. So they basically didn't have to anything. Now they are sending me a $150 bill for their service. How can they do this? I had minimum liablity insurance, so my insurance company is not covering it. As a tax payer, why do I have to pay for this kind of services? Have you handled anything like this?
