PE 4200 problems

I have had my PE4200 pump about 18 months and about 9000 miles. my first thought was that it was the last pump i would have to buy. It was really loud all the time in the cab (mounted in the pusher location). Lately it has been loud sometimes and then will quiet down, then start to get really loud again. sometimes it reads 21 psi and sometimes it will only read about 15 psi. all of these symptoms seem to be independent of each other, meaning that when it is loud i get either pressure reading and vice versa. i generally get my fuel the same place (high volume station). any thoughts or ideas, i really don't want another $400 pump dying on me in less than 10k miles, but this pump sounds bad!!
