"Excellent, very well made"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have had no problems with this vehicle except a knocking noise when I am close to a building or wall.

The seat control on the drivers side was broken off the seat when I bought it. Some paint damage on the hood seems to be from frequent wax treatments (rubbed off). The remote key entry has a broken key loop, it was $110 to replace. I glued it to a metal key fob for $5.00. I replaced all the fluids when I bought it, the recommended oil was 5-30W, I put in 10-40W "extended mileage" type oil.

General comments?

I bought this truck from a divorced lady that was selling it for her ex-husband who was in jail and needed money, for $2000. I am third owner, the original owner seems to have taken very good care of it. I love it, I drove it from Modesto, CA to Yuma, AZ then to Canby, OR (near Portland), then back to Modesto, then to Yuma, where I now live. That is about 3200 miles with no problems (knock on wood).

I plan to keep it for a while, but, the knocking sound bothers me. I guess it will run as long as I keep up with regular fluid changes. The windows do not always go up when I want, but, I can deal with that. There is some "TLC" to be done. I love this truck!

OK I have a question, on the front door panels there's a little, well what looks like, a light. I've never seen it illuminate before, so I was wondering if it is in fact a light. Or something else? If it is, how do I fix them?
