Actually, I plan on following your advice and doing it myself. It seems like the trickiest part is doing the coolant bleeding afterwards. But with the right plastic hose, it looks easy peasy.

True. That could work. Or, I could just look at Torque Pro, which gives me access to every sensor in the car, including all the temperature readings.

I've attached the moment the pump failed. 215F is way too hot... especially when typical temps are 110-130F.
