Clean your pickup screen while you are at it.
At least pumps give you a warning before total failure.
Esgo and Mad, it as an assumption that the noisy pump is going bad, based on my intuition and one email in regards to F350 pku.
My mechanic friends says not to be quick to jump to conclusions, and espeically so since the seal around pump/sending unit assembly is so rusty.
I risk getting rust etc..into the tank and potential worse problems.
The only problem now is slight to moderate high pitched whine, that annoyes me.
So I will wait a few days at minimum and see how works.. He says it may work fine for many years and miles to come.
Thx for thoughts and concerns.
I got a used wiring harness for left side brake, tail and reverse lights today. The silicone seal I applied did not work, so, guess I will try more silicone.
My mechanic friend and I after much some effort and bent metall did get the metal ring around assembly loose, but that was just enough so that, if I choose to replace pump later, I can now get the assembly out.
We had to use a special little wedgu pry tool to bend loose the outer ring lips that hold the innner tight.
Crusty and rusty. This had 3 owners before me and the title is from NY ergo lots of salt eh.
