Ford PS pumps are noisy bastards regardless of year, source and fitment. I have NEVER been in a Ford that didn't have a noisy pump. Not even brand new ones. They last just fine despite the noise, the one on my '85 F150 is as far as I can tell the factory original and still works beautifully, but they're all noisy noisy.
