i'd say either injection or lift pump. lift pump you could do your self. just go to oreilly's and get a holly blue pump to replace the stock dodge one. injection pump, i'd probably take to hotrod diesel if you're not confident you could do it. michael is a good guy, as someone else said before. the pump itself is expensive, so be prepaired for a little sticker shock.

lift pump went out, than the injecton pump went out, be ready to drop 2000 dollars, might as well get the FASS fuel system while its there, and hell with that on there. might as well throw some injectors in there. than hell just order the upgraded injection pump and put it in there too. nothin like addin right at 300 extra hp for only a lil down time. and some big cash

Just pray that the Injection pump didnt go out.
Goodluck!
Goodluck!
