ya me too .new pump is a new pump, i mean what is the life span of these pumps any way when they start getting used .we should no by now since it is soo old and alot of people had them at one point we should know more about how long it last more or less depend on how well they are taken care of i guess not run dry .dont know if that would hurt it but the only reason why i am selling it cause going to e85.other wise i would put the kit in.
