Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
The Green Monster finally broke a Cummins part after 228K miles. So I need to know where I can find the best prices on-line.
At first I thought I had a leaking lift pump. I removed it and replaced all the O-rings. The check valves all looked ok. I tested it on my work bench and it pumped very well. When I put it back on the engine I had a hard time getting it to start. After it started I had low fuel pressure and it ran rough. Lots of air in the fuel when I attempted to bleed the fuel filter with the push button. Off it came again. I looked very carefully at all the connections. The fuel hoses looked kind of tired so I ordered a set from Larryb. I put those on and tried it again. No help. Same symptoms. Took the pump off the engine again. Tested it again. Worked great. Filled with diesel. Put it back on the engine and hooked up a hose to a bucket of diesel. Cranked it over with the starter with the output hose disconnected. Pumped very well for a while then starved for fuel. (By this time I had become very good at removing the starter. ) Removed the pump again. Ummm?? Assembled the input steel line, fuel heater, short curved hose, lift pump, and output steel line. Blocked the push rod from coming out. Then I put 30PSI of air to that mess and put it all in a bucket of water. Lo and behold!! Lots of bubbles from the fuel heater electrical connector! The connector has a crack in it so it was sucking air. Now I need to buy a fuel heater and would like to know where I can find the best price.
