I have to report that my dealer (that has otherwise been very competent) did the same as Punkin's (except for the part where they replaced the pump), even though I gave them a pile of documentation from the forum about the problem. They diagnosed the problem as a Temp sensor and replaced it. It was not unexpected based on what I had heard from others. I was not very disappointed because they would have just installed another pump destined for early failure.

I ordered a Johnson pump from LET and popped it in. It is a very simple job. The hardest part of the install was figuring out how to pull off the inner fender access panel.
