I have good news and bad news:

First, the good: I got the pump back on!

Now, the bad news (and there is plenty of that): The pump is still only pulling about 15". Also, when I pulled my radiator out I noticed that the transmission fluid has a very odd color. I'm sure that the radiator has failed. Now I need to go pull one from a junkyard (dealer wants $450 for a new one). I also got the transmission filter and gasket and plan to drain and replace the filter.

It's always something...
