John - I purchased my current pump from Lancair in 2005.
My 90's-era pump frequently locked-up shortly after landing, becoming 
unresponsive to gear retract. Incredibly, shortly after landing, enough 
pressure built up in the high pressure circuit to open the high pressure 
switch, preventing retract. The only way to free it was to open a fitting to 
release pressure.
I returned the pump to Oildyne at least three times: the first time, I had 
the 'backpressure relief' installed, which did not correct the lock up. I 
returned it a second time, telling them about the lock-up. They 
'bench-checked' and returned it, telling me there was no problem; but -of 
course- it continued locking up.The third time I told them "don't bench 
check it, just rebuild it"! They did so and, of course, it continued to lock 
up. From what I've read over the years, I suspect at least one-half of the 
older pumps had that problem.
