H2 - no steering wheel lock - is that normal??

Ok, I now have my white 2003 H2. I bought it from Houston Texas and I live in Vancouvber, BC, Canada. I flew down to Houston and drove it 3000 miles home. Drives awesome and look even better.

Anyways, I have a few questions now that I have been driving it for a few days:

1) when I pull out the key, the steering wheel does not lock. The wheel is extremely hard to turn due to the heavy wheels, but it does not seem to lock. Do US vehicles not have this feature (all Canadian ones do).

2) I have a squeek/clunk from the rear end sometimes when I go over a bump - is this normal (fyi - I have the air ride). I am not too concerned on this one since the rig still has 16000 miles left on the warranty.

3) should the engine be noisy from inside the cabin? Mine is, but then I have Breathless ram air and Flowmasters with dual tips. I hear the motor at ever rpm, but it does sound good other than a resinance I get between 1500-2500 rpm. Anything that I can do to get ride of the resinance?

By the way, here in Vancouver these are rare and really get a lot of looks and attention. The wifee dropped off the kids at elementary the other day and a bunch of teachers ran outside to get a closer look. My co-workers all make wise cracks that they need to talk to our boss to get a similar salary as me - but they all want to get a ride. So far, I love the truck - it is like no other. Now my only dilemma is on a sunny day do I take the H2 out for a spin or my 99 Indian Chief?

Thanks
