If I leave pickup 8 hours, why is it dead and has to be jump started?
Sounds as if there is a parasitic draw on the battery. You need to perform a draw test to see what amperage is being drawn from the battery while the vehicle sits. Anything more than !/4 amp will kill the battery overnight. Check for any lights that may be staying on inside the vehicle as well as outside the vehicle while it is shut off before getting involved in a draw test
How change spark plugs
Have a look on the following link for the socket/wrench/tool you will need:
spark plug socket Google Search
To avoid getting the ignitions leads replaced in the wrong order:
Remove ONE lead from ONE plug at a time.
Use the tool/socket to remove that plug by turning anti-clockwise.
Put the new socket in
hand tight - this is to avoid cross-threading the spark plug and damaging its threads/threads in cylinder head.
When the spark plug is hand-tight/finger tight, tighten it with the socket /tool. Just 'gently tighten it up' - do not overtighten.
Replace the ignition lead and then move onto the next plug.

Why is there a clunking noise only when turning hard left, e.g., when parking or making a U-turn?
sounds like your cv joint needs replacing on that single side if you are hearing a grinding# How are your anti roll bar bushes and drop links? It may be a combination of things rather than just the one. Clunking and grinding do not necessarily go together but might be a symptom of a single issue.
Maybe Fixya should set up a sound file facility so that we can listen to such sounds too!!
My headlight on my ford f150 will not turn on
It sounds like you have either burned out the plugs or a wire leading to the headlights.
First thing to do is check the plugs for power with a multimeter. If there isn't any, then start tracing the wiring.
If there is power, check your light switch and the signal stalk. Often times the trigger for the high beams dying cuts off all power to the headlights.
