Should already have a HV oil pump being a 99. Or are you talking custom......

Only thing that concerns me is the hot idle oil pressure is getting lower. The factory gauge is what a friend of mine calls a lie-o-meter. Thinks the factory made it read higher to keep people happy. I'll have to check it one of these days.

Officially broke 300k today. It probably has more than that on it since I drove it for quite awhile before I fixed the vssb.

There's a bearing difference even on full floaters. I ran into this a year ago. I thought they were all the same. Nope

Out by the wheels

There also can be a bearing difference

I'm not sure what year they changed but the early years were prone to what they called slugging. Basically liquid freon would settle in the the pump and when it starts it locks up.. the later years had it programmed in to pulse start it. Doesn't really fit your scenario but.......

As I said before that's the plan

As will mine just different than yours

Also ordered some fabric to redo the tan trim on the overhead console

Also has the bigger shoes on it

Sold the topper today $600

Another way to check ujoints is after a drive crawl under and feel the caps. Careful though a bad one can burn you.
