John,

if you are replacing the pump, now would be a good time to thoroughly inspect the coolant hoses/pipes surrounding it, especially the metal pipe coming off of the pump. If it hasn't failed yet it might be thinking about it. Unfortunately it's a dealer piece and a little salty. Beats doing it twice though.
