2002 2500HD 8.1 questions

[xylorex]

I have a 2002 gmc 2500hd with an 8.1, fairly new to me. it has 86000 miles on it. 3 questions i was hoping to get some opinions on:

1 - i noticed that the accessory belt tensioner on the passenger side bottom of the engine is pretty much touching the frame. i can't imagine this is normal, is it? do i need new motor mounts?

2 - the fuel pump gets loud when on a drive. sounds fine in the driveway but if i stop for gas 200 miles down the road it's moaning (1/4 - 3/8 tank or so). it gets quiet while i fill the tank with gas. is this my warning its time for a new fuel pump?

3 - spare tire hoist cable is ripped.... doesnt seem to be a solid consensus on an aftermarket option for this assembly. any leads on one that works and doesnt cost an arm/leg?

thank you.
