I've been running a stock replacement AC pump for almost 4 years. It hasn't given me any trouble.

The best way to check its health is with a pressure gage, making sure it maintains pressure under high demand conditions.

Not that long ago I replaced my fuel pump with a new one because it was making a horrible ticking sound. Everyone was telling me it was a bad lifter, but I discovered it was indeed a bad fuel pump. A new pump cured the problem!
