It is all about putting the problems in perspective. On here and on FB you read about failures, not many have written that their xxxx was still working after x miles.
OK, but the point IS failures. Failure of the pump. We are talking only the SRT6 model so the number made is what? 4000ish?

And I made the comment from a diagnostic point of view. When several other SRT6 owners report intermittent low power symptoms and the fix was the pump and the mileage was 30K or so I would not post the recommendation to change the intake air temp sensor. I wouldn't recommend changing the intercooler. I wouldn't recommend changing the SC clutch. I would go with the common reported problem, the pump.

Equate this Dx mindset of going to a medical doctor for a cough. He doesn't test you for throat cancer first, he goes with the most common cause for the cough. IE the most common post I read for int. low power on an SRT6, the pump.

Reliability of 70K + cars is a different thread.
