Additional info: You will know when the pump starts to fail. The noise resonates like an engine timing chain rattling against metal. Stick with the OEM pump. I had pump replaced with an aftermarket (LASO) pump of which the bearing failed after 1 year.

Really? Anyone else want to comment on Laso pump longevity? I have one sitting on my bench that I am about to install so I hope that was an anomaly.

I put a German made Laso on my 2.7 a few weeks ago. Vertex claims it is OEM.
