duramaxes dont come with a lift pump stock. the cp3/injector pump draws its own fuel.
the stock lbz cp3 is damn good on its own, no need to upgrade that except for maybe modding the fca, but thats a mod for people who have efi live to tune out problems if there is any.
if your looking for a lift pump to add on there are many aftermarket products out there.

Just my .02 on the lockers.... If you're not familiar with the characteristics of a spool, and you don't have lockout hubs, I strongly recommend against one in the front axle. It will create a LOT of unnecessary wear and tear on front end parts and u-joints. In addition to that, your power steering pump and front tires will thank you. I have an ARB in the front of my Jeep, and it's a SOB to steer with it locked. Nice thing about it though, is it takes all of a second to turn it off and on.
If you're wanting to lock both axles, and you spend a lot of time on the street, I suggest either a selectable in the front such as an ARB, OX, or Eaton E-Locker, or a good limited slip, like the Detroit True Trac.
For the rear, a Detroit is hard to beat for strength. They can take some getting used to on the street as they'll bang and pop sometimes when you downshift such as to pass, and going around slow tight corners. Once you get used to it and adjust your driving habits a bit, they're great.
The ARB is another that's very strong, locks like a spool when it's on, and is an open diff when unlocked. Great on the street.
Eaton's E-Locker is another stout choice for the rear. Unlocked, it functions as a limited slip, which makes it easier to live with when not needed.
If you're not really sure you actually need a full case locker, clutch type limited slips can be set up "tight" and do better than the way they come stock.
Hope this helps.

ARB and Elocker are the only things for the front IIRC. There is a spool for the rear but you will wear tires like no tomorrow especially if you tow. The G80 in our truck is a locker it just picky and doesn't like donuts. Dodge has a LS in there 11.5s (trutrac IIRC) that will take more abuse, but is still weak.
