Lift Pump Change?

From : yofuri

Q: my neighbor who also has a 2001 ram ctd tells me that the original lift pumps are no longer available. he says that the only replacement is a kit with in-tank pump level float and blanking block threaded to bypass the original pump etc. also the bed must be lifted or the tank dropped for pump replacement. true rick .
