    is there anything i can do to get rid of the annoying whine i just changed the fluid in the pump along with the lines and added a filter to it and it is a lot more quiet now, but still annoying. :think:

    Did you get the air out of the system?

    Try some Lucas additive or just swap out the pump. They're pretty easy to get to on those 4.9s

    yes the air was bleed out i will most likely just change out the pump and add some lucas to the mix. i used type F for the fluid because that is all i had on hand but it is better than what it had in it which was burnt metallic smelling chocolate syrup.
