Never heard of them failing exactly.I think the only issue was on the '98s during high-speed cornering the pump might get a little starved.46k on mine with no issues (knock on wood).Good luck.

The LS1 oil pump has had problems with the
relief valve sticking open. The oil pump
engineer has been working on it for a long
time to determine the exact problem. I've
been told there is a solution.
On the other hand it is an excellent pump.
It is a G rotor pump which supplies enough
pressure and volume with less parasitic
losses.
Hope this helps.
Mine has 36k without any problems.
