Haven't had any problems with the one in my current car, but had to replace it on my old LT1.
I got a remanufactured from Car Quest and drove over 2 years and 35K miles without any problems.
The funny part with that was the fact that the pump decided to take a dump in the middle of a 4-day road trip in this small town in the middle of nowhere in south Texas...
We got it fixed well, though. Local small shop swapped it for $150.00 but the guy said he'll never do it again for that cheap.

dunno if i should get a new one for $250 at the dealer or a remanufactured one for $160 at an autoparts store.
my friend runs one of these autoparts store cheapo ones in his 800rwhp Mustang...isn't this kinda crazy?
