Thanks (and to all those who offered their help!),

That is where I got my second pump from as the one I got from carquest was
BAD!!! Firestone was very gracious about getting us out of there and picking
up the other pump. They did charge us for two installs but it wasn't their
fault. Carquest said they will pay for the install on the bad pump. We'll
see.

Trip evaluation:

Vinny ran great to Grand Lake through Rocky Mountain National Park although
third was used most of the way up and second often above ten thou.  I did
notice better gas mileage above 4000 feet. Anyone do a drag vs power/mpg
altitude/density analysis?

thanks,
Mark and Kelley
Looking at Grand Lake!
