I don't understand the rant that the car went ~150K before losing the pump. You knew it was going to happen - the boards are full of stories of '06 pumps going out way earlier than yours. And you were already in there when you changed the T-Stat.
It is a bitch about the pump being ~$500. I am as guilty as anyone when it comes to deferring maintenance - especially after a car starts getting close to 200K miles or so - and that is the kind of mileage when a car starts needing it most.
