Thanks,

Do not buy one from Chrysler $$$$, get a Mercedes or Bosch pump. I got a new Bosch pump for $65, but it should be about $100 or so.
They are time consuming to replace but not hard, see the repair manual A copy of this can be found in SRT6 documentation thread if you do not know already.
Mercedes part#112 200 1501
Bosch part# 99176
Chrysler part# 05097159AC ?
or #05097158AA ?
