I just cannot remember the dates the items I checked occured. The fuel pump problem was long in the coming, they just didn't know what the problem was.

I was traveling about 80mph, I heard a repeating thud which sounded like the thud produced when driving over expansion joints, however, I noticed it was louder than typical and didn't coincide with expenation joint timing. I took my foot off the gas and began to slow down by coasting. All this transpired in about 4 to 10 seconds. Then bang, we hear a loud noise, and our vehicle rear drops.
