What model BT Cruiser?
Is the line from the fresh water tank hooked up to the pump?
Is there an inline strainer that could be clogged?
Is there enough water in the fresh water tank for the pump to pick it up?
Are the low point drains closed? (Is water being pumped out onto the ground?)
Both hot and cold? Is the hot water heater valve in Normal or Bypass? (If using hot, and valve is in normal, your pump will work to fill your WH before pushing water out to the faucets.)

That's what I have for now. That said, these pumps are kinda cheap, and they do go out. For $70, it would be worth replacing it if it is suspect with a newer 4 chamber model that won't pulse, over taking it to the dealer.

Good luck!

p.s. Pictures are worth a thousand words, and video is even better.
