Well i took it into the dealer today to have it diagnosed and they called later in the day and told me that it wasn't the pump but ball joints. What the heck!! And to top it off they said that for a $1100 they could fix it. So I called my local tire, allignmnet shop and asked for an estimate to fix what they said was wrong and they quoted me upper and lower on both sides with a 4x4 allignment ....$525 It gets better, THe service technition asked if I've heard a clunk noise when I put it into gear and I told him no and then he said "I didn't think so but it sounds like you might have a tranny problem, maybe torque converter. Do you want us it look into that for you"? I must have had "Sucker" written on my face when I walked into the shop today. So needless to say its going into the allighnment shop tomorrw and then to a tranny shop for a second opinion. Geess!!!!

$525 sounds like a fair price for upper and lower ball joints and an alignment. Check out this link in the Tech folder for the driveline clunk,

My 03 F250SD used to clunk at take off before I did this fix.
