No, but it was interesting they both failed within a short period of time.

No kidding. Did it start making grinding noises? How did you know it went out as well?

Well, since they both run off the same vacuum lines that if one is grinding the other will be grinding as well. Maybe not as bad. If not caught soon enough, you could ruin the other IWE also as far as the gear teeth goes. I'd also suspect that if the other started leaking that its possible that the shards from the grinding may eventually wear on the seal and causing it to fail.

That is my theory anyway. No proof though.

It started making that grinding noise that the IWEs make. What blue2010xlt theorizes sound likely to me.
