Where's the best place to get a lift pump?

A buddy of mine has a '97 with about 240,000 miles and his lift pump needs to be replaced. I think he said it's putting out about 10 psi.<br><br>Where is the best place to get a replacement lift pump for the 12 valve engines. He was quoted approx. $340.00 from a place here in the area. I told him I thought he could probably do better than that.<br><br>Thanks in advance for your help.

I paid $168.10 for the pump and two gaskets from the cummins dealer in birmingham. If you're not near a cummins dealer they will ship.

When you say lift pump are you actually refering to the fuel pump? Or are they two different animals? I heard the fuel pump is VERY expensive.<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Glen
