Died at 128k. No warning nothing. Just died on her while she drove down the street and would not restart.

My wife's Replacement pump died at about ten months old, as I pulled up to the house! I turned off the car after a drive, wife asked me to reposition the car to align with the sidewalk and it wouldn't restart.
Fortunately under warranty, I just had to send a picture of the broken one (serial number) to get a replacement.
I pulled the pump out and put in her car, then I put hers in my car to use as a cork so my car wouldn't fill with fuel vapor while I was waiting for the replacement.
Now I have the replacement and she has the original from my car so yikes that one is on borrowed time. I think I'll be taking a preemptive strike on replacing the pump only then I'll keep the still working 170,000 miles pump as an emergency spare.
