Is it just the initial 'buzz' when you 1st turn the key forward?

That's normal for a NAPA GPR. I wouldn't worry. Just as long as your truck starts OK & it's not billowing white smoke, you should be fine.

No problems! Next time, get your hands on the Stancor GPR. The NAPA part isn't bad, but the Stancor unit is beefier, & from what I've heard, they last longer!
