Fuel put back together. Pump is silent, 40 psi at the rail.
I think my u-joint noise was the carrier bearing guard that was smooshed up tight against the flange.
Did a steering inspection, I see a couple potential issues. Cooler height may have been above the pump, moved. cylinder is mounted with the ports off the back, potential for air? I don't however see any "frothiness" in the reservoir that would indicate air in system... Does whine pretty bad though.
