If your in tank fuel pump has ever failed, I'd like to know if it gave any warning symptoms or if it simply quit all of the sudden. (Mine has over 136,000+ miles.)

I've had two stock ones go bad. The first one was around 135-140K miles. I noticed the car had little power and sputtered. I drove it 1-2 miles the rest of the way home and parked it there over night. The next day, it wouldn't start. The pump had died.

The second time, I was coming home from the track when it died (mid-night drags of all times for your pump to die). I noticed about two passes before that I would get a weird stutter at idle now and again. I didn't think much of it at the time. When the pump finally died, the car acted like it was out of gas. I got a lean pop through the intake when I tried to restart it. I could hear the pump making odd gargling noises as I primed it. I installed a WALBRO 255lph pump and have been running it just fine ever since.

my Tahoe's pump made those "screeching" noises (was louder than the 255 lph in my stang) and croaked on me during commuter hour. Ever push a 5000 lb. vehicle up a teeny incline to try and get it out of the road? not fun.
other than that, never had a fuel pump go out on me in >10 years of driving high mileage dumbestics.
