Yeah they'll keep saying that, it's been the tag line for ages. Whatever they did made the system less prone to failure, but it will keep happening, albeit at a seemingly much lower frequency.
That being said, I've got a -446 (I think, it was either that or -443) that looks like it's failing. Sputtering and wildly varying idle on startup, almost stalling.... Same as the last few times. That will be pump #5 for me, but the important thing to note is that this one has lasted much longer than the previous ones. This one has gone 25k+. Something about my car or habits tears these up, but the latest one they put in definitely showed a marked improvement.
