>From my experience, start saving for a rebuild and run it. Just don't bung
up the ring and pinion before you swap it out. That will get the big
"rejected core" sticker when you send it in most likely
Ours went for about a year (no failure) then I swapped it. The quiet is much
nicer than the whine.
