This noise is common from GM vehicles. Yes you can cure the noise most likely by replacing the pump, though I would not suggest it. The GM pump for your truck is in the 400.00 - 450.00 price range so is a spendy cure for a noise...not only that but you would have to drop the fuel tank out of the truck as the pump is in the tank. I would just deal with the noise unless the pump were to completely fail. Just cause it is making noise does not neccessarily mean it is going to fail either. Hope this helps you out!
