Bryan,

Mine has buzzed since last fall when I installed a fairly new tank.  I've
probably driven 3000 miles since then, so failure may not be in your
immediate future ;-) Hey, even if your new pump fails, you still have the
old one as a spare.

I've tried different pumps and am thinking my zip tie mount may
be transferring more noise to the body than the original mount. Sure is
annoying though.

Have fun camping and carry that spare.
