I had one die on me after 20 years and lots of miles.

So I ran up to Napa and grabbed another. That one got me through the neighborhood about 4 miles and died. Dragged the car back, took the pump back to Napa for an exchange. The next one got my son about 12 miles away, had to go rescue the car again. Took that pump back and he laughed, just gave me my money back that time. I went with a different brand from another store, so far so good, been a year.

Oddly, my bird has a genuine AC Delco pump I bought and installed 25 years ago and it's still working fine. I lost track of mileage on that pump as I've redone the engine a couple times, still the same pump. Has to be at least 80k miles. I'm tempted to change it just because of age but my luck with new pumps these days has been hit and miss.
