Installing a new SureFlo water pump...

[mbulriss]

I had PAR water pump in my 83PT40 that looks similar, and is about
half the price. It never gave me a lick of problems in 9 years of
ownership. That's probably because I had a new spare in the basement
compartments. My theory is that if you have spares on board, that's
the surest way to make sure the original part never breaks. Go
figure.....
