My Truck Gripe List

So after my truck tried to take a dump on the interstate in traffic on my way up north on Friday I've been compiling a list in my head of all the little things I know need fixing and figured I'd use this collective brain to help me figure some of them out.
First off, my truck has been idling low/sounding rich the last few days and hesitates under acceleration every so often. I know of a few possible fixes but I am not sure what all to try!
Second, when I shut it off there is a constant clicking sound that lasts several minutes coming from under the hood. I'm not sure if it happens every time but I have noticed it several times and have no idea what it is.
Third, there are random popping noises from the front end when I turn on certain angles and directions, another one I have no clue about.
Last thing I can think of, sometimes when the oil pressure is under 60 psi, after a cold start usually, it will die when I shift it into gear...

So if anyone knows anything about any of those or some kind of good routine for a general check/tune up let me know!

Re: My Truck Gripe List

could the clicking be your blower motor or debris in the housing for it?
Sometimes these trucks make a noise when the spring is put in certain positions.. but better check out the whole front end just to be sure
