OR, it is really loud and then some night at 1am it dies on the freeway 
about 5 miles
from your house and cost about $75 to tow and takes an extended amount 
of time to
diagnose since the pump still makes a noise and sounds like it could be 
still working.
Once it has been figured out it will cost an ungoddly amount of money to 
replace
since they don't have reman's and you'll have to call Mark and shell out 
$180 (opposed
to my local price of $269 at the dealer, still the cheapest in my area btw)

Ask me how I know...
