NEED HELP! Vacuum pump relocation issue!
hey guys, i am woundering if any of you have had an issue with the relocated pump making a weird buzzing sound when you first start the engine an shift into gear. mine does its once or twice then no more after the engine is warm.
Need some suggestions as to what could be happening
Also, does anyone know if the warranty will be voided because of the relocation?

I have the Smitty Stinger for 2012. The bumper is notched out for the pump and you can see it from the top. I've heard this noise for a few weeks and sounded like a belt was going bad. While I was on Mt. McClellan a couple of days ago and I got out of the Jeep and left it running and I heard this noise again. So I bend down to listen to where it was coming from and I could tell it was the pump. I put my finger on it and the noise lessened. Then it shut off a few seconds later. It was then I knew where and what it was coming from.
