Before I put this on the truck I wanted to get the collective opinion from around here. I'm somewhat concerned with the sounds this unit is making when I turn the spindle. It is as if there is some 'play' inside the pump.

Is this a normal sound? (may need to turn the sound on your computer way up to hear)

 

I think it's ok Walt............iirc mine was about the same, as long as there is no play in the bearing it should be fine

 

probably won't make a sound once it has fluid in it

 

Thanks fellas.... The bearing is as it should be, no play. The sounds seem to be coming from the internals.

I never knew what was inside until I checked out the magic of youtube. I suspect those little fins that act like an impeller are making the noise. I learn something new every day.

Skip to the 2:00 minute mark to get a look at them.
