You ask the question twice with different issues, on each question With that -I will say we are at home like you No one works for FIXYA or gets paid or has to answer one question ever.Sort of like facebook just a free chat room,not an automotive tech hot line --shops pay a couple thousand a year for If you can not open the door, to then remove the door panel, to see the problem with the handle or whatever, you will need a cop or lock smith to try & open it I will tell you that working inside a door can be easy & it can be a challenge & almost all the time your going to get cut on the sharp metal edges & gloves don't work well in there,long river driver shirt sleeves,no gloves With no vehicle experience, your done & need a repair shop, once inside the door Does the remote open it?

bad U-joints, are you in 2wd or 4wd, do not use, 4wd on dry pavement , ice free. or it will wreck the transfer case. if noise in 2wd, that can be u-joints get it checked as noice is not something we can hear ,here. noise diagnose is a hands on deal, and tools make finding it vastly safer. finding noise on moving car, can be very dangerous. we use a steelman , 4 channel stethoscope to find noise. if the axles and tranny are not making noise. its a bad u-join, or bad mount.

this post is not very descriptive, is your overheating its to late to worry about proper torque for things like head gaskets, theres only a few items that need an exact torque spec. "good and snug" really is good enough for almost everything other than heads,mains and engine internals.

Could be a belt, could be almost anything, ! Bring to a technician and have them check for trouble codes. Not really enough information to give a fix.

Read your owners manual You have a system fault Have a shop check for codes & look up your vehicles systems & work on the problem
