I've had a set on my F150 now for over 20k km's and they aren't barely beginning to show wear. They are quiet, good in snow, light muck and great in rain and very quiet.
I've got a 5.0 Explorer and it's been very reliable. I've replaced some wear items ( ball joints, hubs, tie rod ends, brakes) but parts are pretty cheap and it's easy to work on and they can be found fairly cheap.
I like my Valeo Gen2 wipers. They're about $20 a pair, and they've lasted over a year with no streaking at all, and they're super quiet.
I used to run NGK tr55's in my mach1 but for some odd reason they had a tendency to become loose I thought it was my heads but I switched to a brisk plug over 30k ago and haven't looked back I will be buying them for all my cars.
I got a Ford, so I use Motorcraft. They work great.
When we tested Mobil 1 on the racecars on the dyno Mobil 1 freed up 6-9 hp over other oils using the same Ford viscosity - 0w/20W.
I would definitely replace your alternator if it is dead. I had the same problem on another one of my cars (Ford). It was really frustrating because the alternator tested good but it kept happening so I thought it was the battery and got a new one. It stopped for about a week but then started again. The alt. was the problem after all. I would also go oem Bosch because the autozone ones don't last that long.
Went for the second look at the Falcon today, I bought it for $600. The owner got the starter solenoid so we were able to start it and it ran up to temp without pissing coolant. It runs rough, but that was because it needed plugs and the rest of the tune-up items.
Open diff, WHY?!
I had a Cougar (same underpinnings) and mine went through alternators like candy. I'm sure a better-designed aftermarket version would probably take care of it though.
