i plan to check out that noise from the rear sound soon. it sounds like something swirling its hard to explain. what would the worst case scenario be...if its the carrier bearings how much would that cost if i brought it to a shop? the electrical problem i solved the other day. it looks like someone took the original wire that connected to the battery, attached a thinner wire to that wire to connect to the battery. the thinner wire was the one that was melted and frayed with copper exposed. i looked down as far as i could with the original wire and it appeared to be in good condition. so i ripped the thinner wire off and got a new terminal cable and it hooked up just fine. no issues as of yet with it...it fires up much better than before.
i also replaced the plugs and wires and holy crap there was so much carbon build up on the old ones i wouldnt be surprised if the previous owner hadnt changed them in 100k miles. but i could really feel a difference with newer plugs.
