I think the answer, Don, is "it depends". I've heard of trucks never having an issue with "pump rub", and some failing sub 100K miles.
To remedy the situation, you have to drop and split the case, then replace the oil pump inside. Let me dig up some pics from when I did mine and get them attached here... maybe I'll start a thread. 558

A stringer in the middle would be a good idea, too, but since they’re only temporary you should be fine.

I must be the oddball... I really like my Makita set. About 10 years old and still going strong, though the batteries aren't lasting as long as they used to. Buddy of mine has an older Dewalt impact and it is on or off -- no in between. I use the impact for everything - can throttle it down real slow and set even the tiniest/most delicate of screws.
