As long as you have the fluid reservoir full then the whining is not going to hurt anything, it's normal for those pumps, it just annoys some folks like me.

Yes, you need a new pressure hose. (you should replace the return also).
Yes you need a pulley puller(rent or borrow from auto part store)
You simply reuse your existing pulley on new pump.
New pump comes with new reservoir. (I do not believe they are interchangeable anyhow).

It's really not difficult. Go back to the beginning of this thread and all your questions should be answered.

Sounds like the used van pumps are the way to go if looking to save a few $$$$.

I was told to use what the BOX requires, not the pump, so I used MD III. Works great so far.

The factory return line works fine with the 20-6244 pump.
Sounds like the e-van pump is different.

You could cut the rubber off the original return line, single flair the metal cooler tube part that is attached to the crossmember and hose clamp a replacement hose onto it. I've done that before. Just get some 3/8" (double check size) hi-pressure hose that they sell in bulk at auto parts store.

I don't think anyone said that here.

This thread is about the 20-6244 pump, not the e-van saginaw like you installed.
The factory pulley DOES mount up to the 20-6244.
