Default '87 with a very loud fuel pump.

My '90 has a ballast resistor near the front of the left fender, the '87 doesn't. Is it supposed to have one too? If so that might explain it being so loud, plus having no carpet in the cargo area.

There was a bulletin and a wiring kit to install one, but it wasn't for LOUD fuel pumps. It was barely audible to most folks.

I bet your fuel pump is dying.
