I guess its time-

My buddy with a 99 3500 does too, I think he's bought 3 pumps to date. Of course he does have a bit over 200K on the truck, and luckily it doesn't take the rest of the fuel system down with it.
If he is on the 4th pump in 200K he should look elsewhere on his next purchase. Once the original pump is repaired and the lift pump that caused the problem is replaced with a improved lift pump his main injection pump,should be good for MANY miles.
Something about this story seems a bit "FISHY"
Perhaps it's the lift pump that fails every 50K or so? I thought they were one in the same. All I know is I had to tow that heavy bastard with my little Explorer about 8 miles to the diesel shop. But my lil guy is a trooper, and the fuel pump is original to the truck.;)
Despite how Fishy it might seem (I saw what you did thar) the Ram does have the occasional breakdown, though I know it's hard to believe for the Ram mafia. My buddy is a card carrying member, even he'll admit to a few shortcomings on his 99 and 2000 ram, but not in public.
CP3/4 is a high pressure fuel pump that supplies the fuel rails and injectors at over 25K PSI! A lift pump (which doesn't come standard on Dmax trucks) is a low pressure <5PSI pump with oversized filters that feeds fuel from the tank to the CP3/4. Completely different pumps...
