also your avatar is 90s and you posted in the 90s section so ill give you one other thing to take a look at thats easier just incase. distributors and the coil can be a source of a random sudden death. coil can suddenly give out and start arcing through the casing. distributors are terrible for moisture and it will generally be sudden. sometimes a sudden terrible rough operation or suddenly just stops running.

Your gonna pull the tank for the pump without checking the fuel pressure?

no I will check that, just seems it’s heading Its heading in that direction, this sound from the pump is NOT normal. Something is going on inside there, and it seems either way, that the problem is related to this issue.

On a side note, when I got the truck back into the garage, I cycled the key to again hear this crazy whine, then within 2-5 min I had the front line of the fuel filter off, o pressure in the line, it barely dribbled out, and I collected about 1 ounce of fuel

Check fuel pressure at engine before you get to the fuel pump at tank. Waste of a lot of work if it's not the pump in the tank. I believe there is a schader valve you can hook up a test gauge to. Easy check if u have the gauge.

Get the gauge and hook up at the schrader valve that should look like this:

Confirmed, 10psi fuel pressure under prime or cranking

Well, then replace the alternator. We all know that is the problem and is easier to replace.

Alternator?

what are you talking about lol, think you mean fuel pump right?

 

[OR VietVet]

I was just being stupid. Yes, replace the fuel pump, the filter at the same time and I always recommend the fuel pump relay at the same time.
