Well I can help with the clunk in the steering. I have an 07 Sierra 3500 and just fixed this problem on my truck. I replaced the plastic bearing assembly where the steering column meets the intermediate steering shaft. It’s a serious pain to lay in the floor and change without removing from the truck but it can be done. You just take the one bolt out of the clamp then separate the two. Then pry the old bearing out.
If the attachment works here’s what it looks like. You can get it on amazon for around $30.

I agree on the cheap pumps but the one I purchased was an AC delco

Depending on your ability you could save some money and buy just the pump. I have an 01 impala with the series 2 3.8 and that’s what I did. It’s not terribly difficult. The hardest thing to do was put the plastic flex tube in between the pump and the assembly. The rest was easy. You can find the pump on eBay.

Well if anyone is interested I finally fixed it. The culprit was the crank position sensor. Since I replaced that the car has ran perfect for 3 weeks now. Thank you all for you help.

Yeah. I replaced my sending unit on my impala a long time ago. Good thing is it comes with the pump. So I got a 2 for one on the caddy.

Thank you for the reply. The fuel pump is dead. All fuses and relays are good. I’ve changed a couple before but I couldn’t do it in the hotel parking lot so I bit the bullet and had it towed to a shop. $480 plus $45 tow bill. Ugh

I was trying to nicely tell you that was not it. I even told you I appreciate your help. No need to get upset. I am really lost on this and truly appreciate any attempt. I’m sorry if I sounded harsh.

I appreciate the attempt Karl but I did not say “to the floor”. In fact I just slightly have to bring it off of idle position.
The battery and starter is fine. It cranks every time. It fires up then dies instantly unless I have the pedal pressed slightly.
Sorry to shoot you down Karl. I truly do appreciate the attempt.

You might check the full synthetic atf. I have heard it is more viscous than dex III. My ford is a manual and requires older dex III and I used Mobil full synthetic ATF and it worked fine.
